CruiseControl released a new version last week. There are some interesting new features:

• The Windows installer provides an option to install CruiseControl as a service
• New RakeBuilder tag
• A chart that displays Checkstyle, PMD and JavaDoc violations — over time

I also noticed that CruiseControl is no longer providing support for Java 1.3. 1.4 is the new minimum JDK.

These are exciting new features. I’ll provide more after I get a chance to try them out.
