Customer Story: NMSU Learning Games Lab
This week we’re feating the New Mexico State University Learning Games Lab, who uses Beanstalk to host their Flash and iPhone multimedia projects. I caught up with CC Chamberlin, here’s what he had to say:
Git support is official!
We’ve had Git in beta for a couple of months now and the feedback has been great. Now that we’ve worked on some issues and tested the workflow, we thought it was time to release it to all accounts. Adding Git support is a big step for Beanstalk, here are some of the decisions and details that we went through.
Subscription options on repository overview
We’ve made a small update to the repository overview page. You can now instantly subscribe to email or rss notifications directly from the repository overview page. Below the repository url, you will find two new links and options to update your notification settings. We’ve also set the default setting to “off” for email notifications, making it a bit less annoying for those who don’t want to receive email notifications on each commit.
Release: Web hooks for deployments and Git integrations
Today we released a pretty big update to Beanstalk, including web hooks for deployments, Git integration for web hooks and Lighthouse, and many small improvements. Here is the full list:

Small Improvements and Git Support
As you may have noticed, Beanstalk had a pretty big update today. The main changes are a combination of code and design improvements as part of our final 2009 clean up. We aimed at improving the small items and managed to fit in some larger updates as well, the most noteworthy being Git support. A few people asked for a changelog, so here is the short list:
