<p>I just saw Kiln 2.4.105 is out--both for Hosted <em>and</em> Licensed! What's new?</p>

<p>If you're coming from the last On Demand release, then you've got two major new features:</p> <ol> <li><strong>New Review System</strong>: We've <a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/3467/whats-with-the-new-review-system" rel="nofollow">documented this elsewhere</a>, but the review system has been entirely overhauled to focus around multiple simultaneous reviewers.</li> <li><strong>Kiln Customizations</strong>: You can now add JavaScript-based customizations to Kiln via a tool we call Glaze. We'll have full documentation on this feature available later today.</li> </ol> <p>But if you're coming from a licensed release, you get <em>a lot more</em>:</p> <ol> <li><em>A totally new review UI</em> that should be a lot easier to work with, including threaded replies, a new control scheme, better attachments, and more. (This is in addition to the changed workflow documented above. Really, if you're coming from Kiln 2.3, you're going to be getting a massively revamped, tremendously improved review system that we think you'll really like.)</li> <li><a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/3371/how-can-i-integrate-kiln-with-other-services/3373" rel="nofollow"><em>Prefabricated web hooks</em></a>, so you no longer have to run a little service just for common integration points like HipChat or your continuous integration system.</li> <li><em>Support in the web UI for Mercurial bookmarks</em>, so you can get nice lightweight-style branching.</li> <li><a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/3087/whats-the-new-related-graph" rel="nofollow"><em>A brand-new way to see related repositories</em></a>, making it easier than ever to keep track of everything going on in your project.</li> <li><em>Revamped integration with FogBugz</em>, changesets shown in-line in tthe cases that they're associated with.</li> <li><em>Vastly revamped public repositories</em>, making it easier than ever to share your open-source projects with the outside world.</li> <li><a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/3065/can-i-control-kilns-display-of-diffs-and-files" rel="nofollow"><em>Customizable diff options</em></a> so you can ignore whitespace, change tab sizes, view diffs side-by-side, and more.</li> <li><em>A new search tool, the <code>::</code> operator</em>, which allows you to automatically search for a range of changesets. For example, you can do <code>Kiln_Release_2.3.0::Kiln_Release_2.4.0</code> to see all changes between Kiln 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 (assuming you have access to Kiln's source code, that is).</li> <li><em>Updated versions of the Kiln client tools</em>, allowing you to experience the newest versions of TortoiseHg and Mercurial.</li> <li><a href="http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/3132/how-do-i-keep-kiln-from-showing-a-file-in-a-diff/3133" rel="nofollow"><em>The ability to tell Kiln never to show certain files in diffs</em></a>, making it easier to focus on the importants parts of a changeset.</li> <li><em>DAG-based file histories</em>, so you can get a better idea what the actual history of your file was.</li> <li><em>Support for custom logos</em>, so you can have your own corporate brand instead of our beloved Dodo bird if you so choose.</li> <li><em>Lots more Ajaxy HTML5 goodness</em>, dramatically speeding up repository browsing.</li> </ol> <p>And those are just the major features. There's a lot of other subtle improvements, such as the ability to jump to the DAG directly from a changeset, or the ability to open reviews from the incoming pane, or the fact that repo descriptions are now displayed in the UI to help guide your team where they should be working.</p> <p>We really believe you'll love this release. It represents months of work by the Kiln team, and we're happy to finally get it into your hands.</p>
