Blue Canvas tracks just about every type of metadata today. Included are for example Classes, Triggers, Settings, Visualforce Pages, Custom Fields, Workflow Rules, and Custom Objects, as well as the types listed in the Salesforce documentation for the Metadata API.
A standard package.xml in the repository tells us which types to track.
Standard package.xml during the beta
During the beta, Blue Canvas uses a standard package.xml to track metadata types. In the future, we will allow you to customize which metadata types you want Blue Canvas to track.
More types coming soon
As Blue Canvas grows the platform we will start to support more metadata types. If you there is an unsupported metadata type that you would like to see prioritized, please email team@bluecanvas.io.
There are a few types of metadata which are not currently tracked because they require special attention when tracking or deploying them. Ultimately, Blue Canvas plans to track all types, just like it does with Classes, Triggers, Settings and Visualforce pages.
Currently, Blue Canvas cannot track changes to:
Profile
ProfilePasswordPolicy
ProfileSessionSetting
Variable content dependent on other types.
PermissionSet
Variable content dependent on other types.
Roles

In addition, none of the types unsupported by the Metadata API can be tracked.
