We are pleased to announce the release of Cuirass 1.1.

This is the second official release of Cuirass, the GNU Guix continuous
integration software.  For the last six months, this project has been
funded through the NGI0 PET Fund, a fund established by NLNet[1].

Thanks to this support, Cuirass has seen numerous improvements, such as
a switch to PostgreSQL and the introduction of a distributed build
mechanism.  Cuirass is now providing substitutes to all Guix users in a
faster and more reliable way while providing better monitoring.

• About

Cuirass is the GNU Guix continuous integration software. It's a general
purpose build automation server written in GNU Guile that checks out
sources from VCS repositories, execute build jobs and store build
results in a database. Cuirass also provides a web interface to monitor
the build results.

Cuirass is running on GNU Guix build farm[2].
