Webistrano 1.1 is finally out. Webistrano is a Web UI for managing Capistrano deployments. It lets you manage projects and their stages like test, production, and staging with different settings.
It took a little longer because we got some feedback at Rails Conf Europe that we incorporated.
Further Webistrano now has its new home and own Trac/Wiki/Ticketsystem at the Peritor Labs. Peritor Labs is the place where we are going to release inhouse projects like Webistrano under the BSD license. At the moment there is only Webistrano but more will follow.
This means that the Subversion URL also changed. If you tracked Webistrano through svn, please switch to new URL:
Further recipes are now associated to stages and not projects anymore so that different stages of a project can have different recipes. Webistrano now also set two variables inside recipes by default. Those two variables ( :webistrano_project and :webistrano_stage) are set to the project and stage name and can be used to do some decision making inside your recipes.
Upgrading from 1.0 is quite easy, just download the new version, copy your configuration files over and upgrade the database:
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
The roadmap for the next versions includes some basic monitoring capabilities and some form of permission management that lets you manage which user can deploy which projects and so on. The screencasts have not been updated yet but the content they provide is still valid, the only change is that recipes now belong to stages.
If you have any feedback, please comment here or use the Wiki.
