Dear all, Our continuous integration system (Buildbot) has now been updated to the latest version with a range of improvements with increased automation and integration with Gitlab. Buildbot is our system for testing the Nektar++ code compiles and runs successfully on a range of architectures and operating systems as we add new developments. It is available at https://buildbot.nektar.info. The main changes in the latest version are: - Automatic builds on pushes to the main repository; - Automatic builds on new merge requests, or updates to existing merge requests; - Authentication via a Gitlab account (required to initiate manual (re)builds); - Automatic status updates to Gitlab. Build status of the master branch is available on the projects page (https://gitlab.nektar.info/dashboard/projects) and for merge requests on the merge requests listing (https://gitlab.nektar.info/nektar/nektar/merge_requests). One notable feature regression is that it is no longer possible to force a build on all builders at once (only individual builders). However, with the automation above, this should hopefully not be a problem. Remember to authenticate (where it says 'anonymous' in top-right) to initiate a forced build. There are a few outstanding teething issues with a couple of the workers, which will be fixed in due course, but please let me know if you encounter any other problems.
