New Octopus build, website and screenshots
Aug 30
2011
New builds of Octopus are available immediately from my CI server, and can be downloaded from the Octopus downloads page. Every couple of weeks, though, I'll publish a short list of what's going on.
The last couple of weeks saw a lot of new features added.
- A dashboard, to give you a high level overview of which projects are deployed to what environment.
- Edit release notes for releases that have already been created.
- Scope variables on a per-package basis, in addition to per-environment and per-machine
- A more streamlined release user experience
A number of bug fixes and tiny enhancements are also included, from a quick list of projects that appear when you hover over the Projects tab, to correctly uninstalling old NuGet packages.
Below is a screenshot of the new dashboard - you can see larger versions of this screenshot and more on the Features page of the new Octopus website.

It's looking great. The web management seems to be the killer feature here. I'll have to take a look at what the back-end can do to see if we could automate our currently complicated deployment process with something like this.
