Multiple cleanup policies can be created. Policies that you create can be deleted and the default policy can be disabled.
Agent and Agent Pool enhancements
The location of the agent CodeStation cache is now configurable. You can specify the location to use instead of the default location.
A new section In Use by has been added to the detail window for an agent pool to view the projects attached to the pool.
The detail page for a build life now includes the agent used by the build processes.

To get started quickly, IBM UrbanCode Build is shipped with an Apache Derby database. Apache Derby is not supported for production environments. As you plan your production topology, review the product documentation.
