New Feature

488 -- Add a scripted build listener that operates on any build event.
- There is a new Build Event Listener named Build Event Action. It can 
catch build started, build required, build failed and build succeeded 
messages and then run an arbitrary beanshell script at that time. This 
could be used for custom actions at the end of builds or to notify the 
team that production build has started.

Bug Fixes

447 -- Builds hang in some cases
- The problem of builds stopping without leaving the "Building" state 
has been addressed. Fixes in 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 dealt with most of the 
problems here. We believe the remaining causes of this problem are 
addressed in 2.3.4.

448 -- Unable to completely stop tomcat using tomcat stop
- Anthill Pro will no longer prevent tomcat (or any other servlet 
container) from shutting down.

450 -- Global way to clear cvs errors
- When builds fail due to check out problems and are subsequently 
checked out successfully, they are always built.

474 -- Build Logs being cut off
- The last few lines of the build logs are once again present.

484 -- CVS paths with spaces are not supported
- CVS module and root paths are now quoted to address the possibility of 
spaces being in the path name.

485 -- Version number terminated in a space causes problems
- The system will trim any white space off the end of a version number 
entered in a versioning strategy.

486 -- Only log changed env. vars at info level
- The complete list of environment variables is usually not helpful when 
reading the logs. At the info level, we are now only displaying the 
environment variables set by Anthill Pro. All other environment 
variables are displayed only at the Debug log level.

491 -- Notify Windows users using their own Ant that ant.bat has a bug.
- Windows users choosing to use a version of Ant not shipped with 
Anthill Pro will be notified of the bug in Ant that prevents it from 
returning a valid status code: 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13655 . Instructions 
for using the replacement batch files are included in the warning.

493 -- Some fields on the Ant build configuration do not handle quoted 
values properly
- Entries including strings in them will have the quotes replaced with 
&quot markers for html presentation.

494 -- Wrong execution strategy used for Windows 2003 server
- In some cases, Win2K3 was being treated as a Win9x machine for 
choosing an execution strategy. It is now recognized as a NT flavor of 
Windows.

496 -- Email VCS Mapping somewhat incompatible with StarTeam
- The StarTeam driver was returning user names for revisions with an 
extra space appended. The mapping module now compares trimmed values.
