stableBuild would be stored to build.xml together with all non-transient fields now. This data file should contain only data from the particular build, stableBuild is global configuration flag.

<org.jenkinsci.plugins.cppcheck.CppcheckBuildAction>
  <owner class="build" reference="../../.."/>
  <result>
    <owner class="build" reference="../../../.."/>
    <statistics>
      <errorCount>0</errorCount>
      <warningCount>1</warningCount>

I might be able to get these changes in this weekend. If I have time, I'll also look into the delta issue too. What is the mail group I need to email to get added as a maintainer? Thanks

Any update on merging this? This is much needed behaviour, and should probably even be the default.
