A major revision of Continuous Integration

At the turn of the century, I was lucky to involved in several projects that developed the practice of Continuous Integration. I wrote up our lessons from this work in article on my website, where it continues to be a oft-referenced resource for this important practice. Late last year a colleague contacted me to say that the article, now nearly twenty years old, was still useful, but was showing its age. He sent me some suggested revisions, and I used this as a trigger to do a thorough revision of the article, considering every section in the original, and adding new ones to deal with issues that have appeared in the last two decades.

During those decades Feature Branching has been widely adopted in the industry. Many colleagues of mine feel that Continuous Integration is a better fit for many teams, I hope this article will help readers assess if this is the case, and if so, how to implement Continuous Integration effectively.
