Released 2.2.0

Today we released Siren of Shame 2.2.0, adding some good stuff including the #1 most requested feature:

Custom Audio Sounds 


"Sounds", it's a new option in the menu:


Click it to add/delete/preview MP3's or WAV's:


Then configure rules to play them:


With per-user rules and our fancy rule engine you can now taunt co-workers by name when they break the build.  How cool is that?

Visual Studio Online


If you're into TFS (by choice or divine mandate) and using the Microsoft-hosted cloud version (previously called Team Foundation Services) we now have your back.  See Configuring Visual Studio Online for details.

Keyboard Shortcuts


If you're a keyboard kind of person (and what self-respecting developer isn't?) you'll appreciate the following new keyboard shortcuts:

  • 1-9 - Go to the build detail page for the appropriate build
  • Backspace - Go to the home page
  • Alt+1-9 - Go to the the user detail page for the appropriate user
  • F - Go full-screen
