Vault 4.0.5 is released

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.
