+
+ * BDB XML is no longer being used for report storage. Instead,
+   collected metrics data is stored in the Trac database.
+ * Snapshot archives created by the master are checked for integrity
+   prior to their transmission to the slaves.
+ * Improvements to the build status presentation in Trac.
+ * Changes to the build recipe format. See the documentation on the web
+   site for details.
+ * New recipe commands: <sh:pipe>, <c:configure>, <java:ant>,
+   <java:junit>, and <x:transform>. Various improvements to the
+   existing commands.
+ * Recipe commands and command attributes in recipes can now reference
+   slave configuration values.
+ * The names of the master and slaves scripts have changed: `bittend`
+   is now `bitten-master`, `bitten` is now `bitten-slave`.
+ * The build master can now handle multiple Trac environments (projects).
+ * The build slave now by default removes any working directories when
+   done.
+ * Build configurations can now be completely deleted.
+ * Build configurations can now have a minimum and maximum revision
+   specified. Any revisions outside that range will not be built.
+ * The build configuration editor now validates the supplied values.
+ * Fix management of target platforms when running under mod_python.
+ * Improved performance of the build log formatter that is responsible
+   for linking file references in build logs to the repository browser.
+ * Add paging to the build configuration view.
+ * Fix compatibility with PySQLite2.
