JetBrains, the creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing tools for software developers, have announced the general availability of TeamCity 6, a professional distributed build management and continuous integration system.

“TeamCity 6 is a great step forward,” said Pavel Sher, TeamCity project manager. “We are proud of some know-hows we’ve come up with to further improve user experience and performance, and to address our customer’s specific needs. The product is now even more user-friendly, and we plan to keep this trend up.”

Except for addition of Gradle and Maven 3, TeamCity 6 provides a better .NET code coverage analysis based on the bundled JetBrains dotCover engine. Other key changes include:

* Build steps for executing multiple build runners sequentially as part of the same build configuration
* Build priorities in the build queue, and priority classes for managing them
* Improved support for RVM and Bundler for building Ruby/Rails projects

* “My Changes” page re-implemented from scratch for better usability and navigation
* Many improvements to its IDE plugins.
