Beta 4 is released:

Enhancements / New Features:

• Ability to Define Base URL for hosting behind Apache/Proxy
• Artifact Upload via the UI
• Scheduled Services
• Service to Evict unused artifact from Proxy Repositories
• Snapshot Removal Services
• Reindex / Clear Caches / Publish Group Index services

In addition to the user visible features named above, we have started parallel efforts to increase our automated testing coverage. The first is to fully automate regression testing at the Maven and REST level and the second is with UI testing via Selenium. We feel that this will enable us to continue to roll out the high quality releases that everyone is used to as the feature set continues to grow.

You can read more about the changes and download the bundle from here.

Next up is Beta-5 with a complete rework of the Authorization / Authentication to support Role based access.
