One of the things this remoting layer does it to transfer the Java byte code on demand from the controller to agents on demand. This approach helps us keep agent deployment simple,...

  I’ve tweaked the website so that downloading the Windows and Mac installers will navigate the browser to "thank you/what’s next" page. These pages have links to Wiki that educate the users on where/how the installer will run Jenkins. Hopefully this makes it little easier for new users to get started on Jenkins. I’ve tested the new mechanism with IE, Safari, and...
