Product history
nuBuilder started out as a closed-source, proprietary application created by nuSoftware in 2003.[2] The company decided to make the software freely available under the open-source model in 2009, starting a new SourceForge project in June of that year. The first open-source release followed on June 10 as version 09.06.10.[1] This date-based versioning continued until the February 15, 2012 release as version 2.5.0.[3][4]
On February 20, 2014, the developers announced a complete rebuild of nuBuilder as nuBuilder Pro, technically a 3.0 version.[5] The initial nuBuilder code had been put on GitHub on January 5[6], with a few updates arriving afterwards. Unlike its predecessor, nuBuilderPro does not seem to receive versioned updates. Updates appear to be made to the software, but a version number is not incremented. The software can be self-hosted, or nuSoftware can host it for you for a fee.[7]
