Hi,

I just released Webistrano 1.4 at

[http://labs.peritor.com/webistrano](http://labs.peritor.com/webistrano)

Webistrano is a tool for managing Capistrano deployments and offers a  
rich web UI. It lets you manage projects with their stages and keep  
track who deployed which version to which servers.

Webistrano 1.4 brings many new features that make deployment easier. The  
most prominent are:

```
 * Recipe versioning
   recipes are now versioned so that you can keep track of changes

 * Project cloning
   you can now create a template project and clone it over
   and over again

 * Array parameters
   support for arrays as values for configuration parameters

 * CAS-auth support
   Single Sign-On support by delegating authentication to a
   CAS server. See the documentation at
   http://labs.peritor.com/webistrano/wiki/CAS

 * Enhaced UI
   nicer overviews of deployments and many small fixes

 * Cancel deployments
   a running deployment can now be canceled by Webistrano.
   The running Capistrano instance will be killed so use
   this feature with care

 * Track deployed revisions
   Webistrano will track which revision was deployed.
   This way you always know which version is running where

 * Updated packages
   Rails 2.1 and Capistrano 2.5.0

```

Apart from that some smaller enhancements and fixes went into the 1.4  
release. See the CHANGELOG for a complete list.

Further, there is now a Webistrano mailing list at  
[http://groups.google.com/group/webistrano](http://groups.google.com/group/webistrano)
