Vault 4.0.5 is released

Posted by Jeremy Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:54:00 GMT

We’re very happy to announce that Vault 4.0.5 is released now. Thanks to everyone who downloaded the beta. 4.0.5 is the most significant maintenance release for 4.0, and we hope that all of our users will appreciate the hard work that went into it.

4.0.5 is finally the release where we support having bound projects in an unbound solution in the Visual Studio 2005 client, which is something that everyone’s been requesting since hours after the 4.0.0 release. You can get to this new functionality by using the File->Change Vault Bindings… menu item. The new Change Bindings dialog will immediately look somewhat familiar to anyone who was used to the old MSSCCI Change Source Control Bindings dialog.

The other big feature in the 4.0.5 Visual Studio 2005 client is the elimination of the need to perform two get operations when someone else has added files to a project. It’s a deceptively simple feature that turned out to be quite hard to get working.

As an aside, expect some announcement of the first of two scheduled 4.1 beta periods in the next month. We’re about to deploy the full UI for tag clouds on our internal dogfood server, and I’m very much looking forward to using tags to drill down into our bugs.

DiffMerge 3.1 is released

Posted by Jeremy Thu, 11 Oct 2007 14:16:00 GMT

We’ve now released version 3.1 of SourceGear DiffMerge. The important changes since the beta are:

  1. We now support the “mark the first file, then browse to a different folder, select a second file and diff it against the first” workflow that was requested in the beta period.

  2. There was a crash reported when clicking in the window while the files were still loading.

You can get the 3.1 release at our DiffMerge downloads page.

Thanks for your continued support of our products, and giving us the feedback we need to make high-quality dev tools.

4.0.5 beta now available

Posted by Jeremy Tue, 09 Oct 2007 16:42:00 GMT

Vault 4.0.5 has been two months in the making, which makes it the largest maintenance release yet for 4.0. There are several new features that we are sure that users will appreciate. We’ve tested it thoroughly, but would appreciate any feedback from users on the new features that we’ve added. You can download the beta at: http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/downloads.html

The largest changes are to the Visual Studio 2005 client:

  1. A new Change Bindings dialog, which will allow users to configure an unbound solution with bound projects. This also moves the online/offline and binding operations from the context menu.

  2. The Double-Get fix, which means that no longer will users be required to perform two get operations to get files that have been added to a project or solution.

  3. The bin directory should no longer be added to source control for web site projects.

For the full release notes of the beta, see http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/releases/4.0.5b.html
