Cruise to deployment

ThoughtWorks has released its second commercial product, Cruise, a continuous integration and release management application for Agile development teams. Based on their open source application CruiseControl, Cruise enables automated, auditable deployments. It introduces the concept of pipelines, which are intended to make it simple to manage and test changes in an application from check-in through deployment. It addresses perceived gaps in other product offerings such as lack of support for splitting a build into multiple related stages and zero configuration build clouds.
