We implemented several changes in this release:

• Sorting order for the dashboard can be configured in settings
• Force-refresh button at the bottom of the dashboard
• Don't show work item changes that I made myself - configured in settings
• Showing total work item count in full-screen view

Since the beginning of the project, we announced that CatLight will be free for small teams, and there will be a paid version for bigger companies.

We are introducing CatLight Pro - a version of the app for business users. This version can monitor any number of build definitions and work item queries. It also includes priority support. You can buy a monthly or annual subscription to CatLight Pro using a credit card. For pricing details, see https://catlight.io/editions

Free edition is available for individuals and companies that have 3 users or less. This version can monitor up to

VSTS is going to have a breaking change in the API: unique account id will have a different value in a couple of months. We are rolling out an update that will make CatLight compatible with this change.

If you notice any problems, let us know.

Compatibility fix is implemented in v2.2.4

CatLight 2.2 adds a new set of tray icons. You will see a colored outline icon when something is broken, but it does not need your attention.

For example, if the build is broken, but somebody is investigating it, you will get an colored outline icon in tray.

Another example is acknowledging a list of work items.

Catlight 2.1 can now track the status of TeamCity builds.

We support TeamCity 8+.

Exciting news - CatLight 2.0 beta is here! 

Work item status tracking

CatLight can now track work items in TFS 2015 and VSTS. You can select an existing query and choose a tracking mode:

• Show all - use this for queries that should return empty result when everything is ok, and for queues of short-term work. For example: "Important open bugs", "Urgent tasks", "Bugs to verify today".
• Show changes - use this to track changes in long-term queues of work, like "My tasks", "Backlog", "Recent bugs".

The app will run the query every minute, check for changes, and notify you

Just installed your app and it looks really good. Far better than the MS monitor for TFS 2013 which just doesn't work.

Good news! Catlight 1.8 runs on Linux!

Currently we support Ubuntu 14 x64 and it should also run on recent Debian. 

Ubuntu 15 and 16 will be supported in a couple of weeks, after .Net Core release.

CatLight 1.8 has a brand-new dashboard!

Summary of changes:

• Multi-column view. Make it full-screen to see dozens of builds at once. Also should work great as a shared build screen, visible for the whole team.
• Broken builds are now collected from all connections and are moved to the top.
• Grouping by project is gone to fit more builds on the screen.
• Build history & progress.
• Dynamic updates - no more flashes.

Good news, everyone!

Windows version of Catlight 1.7 now runs on .Net Core RC2.

This upgrade required a lot of changes, but the app should now be less dependent on the environment.

If you spot some problems, be sure to tell us about them, and we'll fix them promptly.

Catlight 1.6 has a new feature - build investigations. When a build is broken, all team members will see a button inviting them to investigate the build and fix it.

In Catlight 1.5 you can use HTTP/HTTPS proxy that requires authentication. To do that, in main menu, go to edit/settings/proxy tab. 

By default, Catlight will use system-wide proxy settings, so the manual configuration is needed only for proxies that need username and password, or if you don't want to change the proxy settings in OS.
