Job configuration change in Hudson 1.372

Yesterday I upgraded hudson to the greatest an latest which was a seamless upgrade.

A very obvious change in the Job configuration form was added instead of “Tie Build to a node”:

There is now “Restrict where this project can be run”:

The disadvantage in this feature is if you want to a build to a node you need to know its name / node group name prior to the actual configuration. The Advantage of this feature is you can be more specific in where you want you build to run and with a large number of slaves this is quite important, Please note: “old” jobs aren’t affected of this change.
