[Anthill-pro] Mailing the contents of the build log

[Eric Minick]

Ivan,

I apologize. I typed too quickly and communicated exactly the wrong the 
thing. I don't think the separation is doable.

Anthill3 is reasonably stable. It still lacks some of the features of 
the 2.x, although it brings the build farm capabilities, deployments, 
promotions in nicely. We are currently using it in production to host a 
dozen projects, most of which are in some way related to 3.0. I'm 
expecting a release candidate sometime mid-month and if all goes well 
that will become the 3.0 version.

Regards,
Eric
