It's been two weeks since the public release of Webitrano . Webistrano was downloded nearly 500 times and I got a lot of feedback. People seem to like the concept and having a tool to manage Capistrano deployments through a Web UI.
A lot of people wanted to tie recipes not to projects but to stages, so Webistrano 1.1 will let you do that. Further 1.1 will interpolate strings in Capistrano variables correctly so that you can refer to other variables inside configuration entries.
Also more recent versions of needle/net-ssh will be included so that Webistrano will not blow up if you have newer versions installed.
Apart from this new functionality/bug-fixing the UI got some love from Marcus Lamer, our UI/Design guy at Peritor. The new UI looks promising:
I hope to get 1.1 out of the door shortly after RailsConfEurope here in Berlin. If you are there and have any feedback, I would love to hear it.
