rBuilder Online maintenance is complete, and the following features and bug fixes are now available.
- rBuilder now presents two viewing options for appliance search results: a "Brief" view which is the browser view from previous versions, and a "Detailed" view as a new sortable grid, with rows that can be expanded or collapsed to show descriptions.
- When you are searching for items in the rPath Management Console, you must now enter at least three characters before the list items are filtered. This speeds up search responsiveness dramatically with large data sets, such as those found on Amazon EC2, which is the rPath Management Console target supported on rBuilder Online.
- You can now report a bug from the rBuilder Web interface, automatically creating an issue in the rPath Issue Tracking System (rITS). To access the new feature, right-click anywhere in the interface, click "About rBuilder," and click "Report bug" button. Use the guide text and help in the bug dialog to complete the form and file the bug report.
- The new bug filing dialog includes a checkbox to specify whether you are an rPath customer with a support agreement. When a customer files a bug using this form, rBuilder automatically files it as a support issue so that rPath can follow up appropriately in accordance with customer's support agreement.
- Many right-click context menus provide a "Show Log" option; this has been expanded to allow you to record HTTP traffic by pressing the round red "record" button above the log data.
Your continued feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your interest in rBuilder Online.

Conary 2.0.50 is a maintenance release.
Bug Fixes:- cvc rdiff now functions correctly on trove versions where no previous version exists. (CNY-3218)
- Updates of multiple flavored groups containing pre-update scripts no longer fail after the critical update is applied. The fixed Conary issue is related to CNY-3216, but only manifests itself when multiple groups are present. (CNY-3219)
- Path-based action build requirement discovery now functions correctly when spaces are present in environment variables or adjacent spaces are present before the name of the executable in a command string. (CNY-3224)
- When building local changes, conary would sometimes look through the database by fileId to get the path for a file it needed, instead of just looking in the filesystem directly. That caused a failure when two paths had the same fileId but one of them had been removed from the system. (CNY-3226)
- Building from the repository will no longer attempt to re-download autosourced files. (CNY-3221)
- Conary will now link against an embedded copy of sqlite if a specific version of sqlite has previously been configured and built under the conary/pysqlite3/ directory. At this time, the supported version is 3.6.18.
