Syncro SVN Client improves working copy locks

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:04:00 GMT

Synchronizing with a working copy in Syncro SVN Client.

Version 7 allows you to rapidly identify files with active, broken or stolen locks.

Syncro SVN Client makes it easier to share documents and code between content authors or developers. This multiplatform Subversion front-end allows you to browse repositories, check for changes, commit changes, update your working copy and examine the revision history. Features include: full SVN repository support for SVN versions: checkout, export, import, copy, mkdir, rename, branch, tag and delete support etc. It also includes a synchronize view which helps you spot all incoming and outgoing changes.

Updates in V7

Improved Working Copy Locks Representation - File locks in the Working Copy view are now presented using graphic symbols, which allow you to rapidly identify files with active, broken or stolen locks. Also, when synchronizing your working copy with the repository, you can see the current lock state of files in the repository, including those locked by other users.
Added Locking Support in Repositories View - Repositories view now presents the existing file locks when browsing repository content. Now you can lock or unlock files directly in the repository, using actions available in the Repositories view.
Improved File Comparison Representation and Functionality - Comparing algorithm has been improved to detect differences at a finer level of granularity. Besides the old detection of different blocks of text, Syncro SVN Client brings a second level of comparison, by directly emphasizing word differences inside these blocks. Management of differences was improved by presenting an in-place widget which gives quicker access to actions which allow you to copy or replace content of the currently selected difference.
SSH Host Verification - Improved connection security when accessing for the first time a repository through SSH protocol. Now, Syncro SVN Client allows you to interrupt the connection to an untrusted SSH host.
Added Name Conflict State for Working Copy Files - Syncro SVN Client signals the existence in repository of files considered to have the same name on a case-insensitive operating system, like Microsoft Windows. These files are marked as being in a Name Conflict state in your working copy.
Component Updates - Updated SVNKit library to version 1.3.5, compatible with Subversion 1.6.15, which contains various bug fixes and improvements.

Indigo Rose updates Visual Patch

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 15:52:00 GMT

Creating a software patch with Visual Patch.

Visual Patch is a software tool which simplifies the process of creating patches for software and managing your software version releases.

Unlike other products, Visual Patch combines sophisticated binary patching with the flexibility offered by full-history patches. These patches can update any older version to the latest release with a single executable patch file.

Updates in V3.5.2.0

Feature: Added a "(plugin)" suffix in the Action Wizard for action categories that were added by a plugin.
Feature: Added SW_HIDE window mode to File.Run, File.RunAs and Shell.Execute actions.
Feature: Added support for Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Servers 2008 SP2 to the OS Conditions tree.
Fix: Fixed a bug where File.Find action would sometimes fail when the executable was on a CD-ROM.
Fix: Fixed a bug where the last screen in a sequence was not freeing its font data at the correct time.
Fix: Fixed a bug where if the File.GetShortName action failed, a string containing garbage would be returned. Failure can occur if the file does not exist.
Fix: Fixed a bug where the second parameter of the Table.Sort action wasn't being handled properly.
Fix: Fixed a bug where the _IgnoreInvalidCertificate global would not ignore certificate revocation errors.
Fix: Fixed a bug where the spell checker would not work properly if the text being checked was longer than 1000 characters.
Fix: Fixed a bug where the Application.LoadScript action would fail if Lua was installed.
Fix: Fix: Fixed an issue where languages containing no Secondary IDs were not being mapped if a secondary ID was being returned at runtime. Now if the language in the language map map has no secondary IDs, it will map to that language if the Primary IDs match regardless of the secondary ID detected.
Fix: Made it so that VisualPatch would block system reboots while the patch is in progress.

Plastic SCM adds code review system

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:24:00 GMT

User statistics and changed item statistics in Plastic SCM Professional.

Version 3.0 also adds shell extension, updated merge and diff tools and external data storage support.

Plastic SCM Professional is a multi-platform (Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac) version control system that provides full integration with the most widely used IDEs as well and task tracking tools, and contains accurate importers for SourceSafe, CVS and Subversion; providing quick transition from these environments. Plastic SCM Professional can be configured to work with Firebird, MySQL or SQL Server database backends. Plastic SCM Professional Edition provides enterprise features such as configurable workspaces through selectors, integration with Active Directory or LDAP to enforce security policies on repositories, support for an unlimited number of users and distributed system. One Year of full support with access to all new releases within a year is included with the Professional Edition.

Updates in V3.0

Integrated distributed code review
Built-in code review system that tightly integrates with branches and changesets. A review can easily be created from these elements and then replicated, enabling a distributed review process.
Shell extension
Windows Explorer integration that allows developers to perform all the version control operations within Explorer. All the GUI views are accessible from the shell extension too.
New Subversion and Perforce importers
Improved Subversion importer (both performance and usability) and a brand new Perforce importer.
New "pending changes view" on the GUI
Now checked out items (i.e. items marked for edition from the GUI, command line or the plugins), changed items (modified outside Plastic control) and private items (potentially new files) can be checked in together from a single view.
Xmerge / Xdiff 2.0
The merge and diff tools get updated with "cross merging" technology capable of detecting moved (and modified) code in the same file. Xdiff is able to locate modified code and render it accordingly, and Xmerge is able to handle moved code (normally refactor) during the merge process.
External data storage
It is possible to "extract" data from file revisions in a repository and save them on secondary devices like DVDs, hard drives and so on) so they don't consume main database storage. It is possible to plug the media to the server for transparent access or to access the "extracted" data directly from the client machine (Plastic will prompt to introduce the right media when accessing a "extracted" revision). It is useful for projects using really big files.
Annotate support on GUI
Now annotate (cm annotate or cm blame) is also available on a graphical view, integrated with the GUI's view system. It's possible to explore the changeset or branch that altered any line in the annotated item.
SQLite backend support
Plastic servers can now use SQLite as backend. SQLite adds a new backend to the existing set of supported databases: Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server and Firebird. SQLite is very fast on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X environments, but it is better suited for distributed development (a developer running a small footprint server on his laptop or workstation). SQLite is the default on Linux and Mac OS X evaluations.
Selector explorer
It is possible to explore branches, labels and changesets without having to download them to a workspace. Advanced users can edit the selector to try more complex configurations.
Performance improvements
As usual every new Plastic release is faster than the previous one. We thoroughly tested Plastic with big workspaces (>250k files and 40k directories) and big repositories in several scenarios: from heavy load (hundreds of concurrent users (computer simulated) against a single server) to single user operations (quickly adding a big workspace into a repository) where we can consistently beat all our major competitors.

File level repository imports
Added support for importing files into a repository.
Support for replacing working copy resources
Working copy resources can be replaced with their HEAD or BASE revision.

The history for a resource deleted from the repository but which is still present in the working copy is now displayed by properly detecting the revision at which the resource was deleted.
Branch/Tag directly from the repository
The Branch/Tag action can be performed directly on the repository, without having a working copy previously checked out.
Print and save as image a revision graph
Generated revision graphs can be printed or saved as images.
