Ever wanted to be emailed whenever someone on the team does a cap deploy of trunk or some tag to some server? Wouldn’t it be nice to know about it every time a release was deployed? For large rails projects this type of coordination is essential, and this plug-in makes sure everyone on the need to know list is notified when something new is deployed. This plug-in is an extension to Capistrano. That means it registers itself with Capistrano as a plug-in and is therefore available to call in your recipes.

As a result we created this tool to display messages to any version of any browser!
