CVSTProject / News: Recent posts

Dolphin 5 and VisualAge 6 ports of cvstproj 0.7 have been released. Thanks again to Steve Waring & Jerry Bell (Dolphin) and Bryan Hogan (VAST)

This one is looking good. VAST6.0 and Dolphin5.0 releases should follow shortly. The Squeak release will need to catch up but should not be too much work.

I just release 0.4 - still a developer release - but it has some improvements. Since VMMaker for Squeak wants to integrate with Sqcvs I have yet one more reason to finish it. :-)

Aparently vw3cvstproj and SIF-VW3 work in VW5i as is without any changes. This of course ignores any 5i specific features like namespaces, but does a sensible compatibility thing. The consequence is that it is possible to run a CVS project using SIF codec in VW5i (So I've switched :-).

Enjoy ! (mk)

This release features a new CVSProjecBrowser. Makes working with cvstproj a breeze. Read more in the ReadmeVW3

Just posted a new release of sqcvs - nothing as earthshattering as the 2.4 Linux kernel ;) - but still a steady improvement.

Finally we have a release of CVSTProject, for both Squeak and VW3!

This release is finally available for both VW3 and Squeak (Squeak build is provided as a separate SF module and will be up for download soon). The Dolphin build is in the works. There is not much news in terms of functionality, the only exception is the cool new CVSDiffBrowser in the VW3 build (You've got to check it out).

It is mostly bugfixes (all patches are
in), plus what's there so far from the Tests module (not much to use yet). It includes VW3 parcels for the Camp Smalltalk SUnit 26 as well,
since I had to make few fixes to get it to work. I did not include the SIF Toolkit, since Eric already uploaded everything on his site at
http://www.pocketsmalltalk.com/sif

Here is the list of changes from the readme:... read more

This is a maintenance release fixing hopefully all the show stoppers. Included are updated doc files as well.

What's Next:
- Squeak port should be available soon.
- A test suite should be built to support porting efforts
- Hopefully more ports will follow

Changelog:
- Fixed a bug in FileOutCodec (ignoring class definition changes for added classes). Patch #100188
- Fixed a bug in method addition diff (referencing systemModule instead of system). Patch #100187
- Cosmetic change for ClassDiff printOn:. Patch #100186
- Update optimization for FileOutCodec. Patch #100189
- Packaged updated SIF parcels fixing a problem with nil subclasses

This is hopefully the beginning of more frequent releases of this module.
And perhaps shortly - when cvstproj ports over to Squeak - the modules will truly merge and follow a common release pattern.

Status
----------

The interesting part with this release is that it includes the "facade" idea that we have been talking about. CVSWorkingCopy with sample friend CVSStringTree should be interesting to look at from cvstproj standpoint.... read more

Mostly a maintenance release, hopefully fixing the problems with SIF Toolkit parcels. Few extensions are listed bellow.

Changes:
-------------------------------
- Refactored and cleaned up CVSSIFCodec. It should be truly portable now. All platform specific code was moved to CVSSystemContorller. Thus there are few more methods to implement for each platform.
- Added CVSProject>>diff, which will give you differences for the whole project. Until now it was available at the module level only.
- Added CVSParcelController and made it the default controller for VW3 platform. It is slightly easier to use than the CVSChangeSetController.... read more

This is THE portable relase of the tool. Squeak port should be available very soon now. From now on it it should just keep growing as new supported platforms are added ;-). More details are in the Readme file distributed with the package.

Much better than the previous one. Definitely upgrade ASAP! Look at the release notes for details

This release adds support for modules and
class renames

Adds support for different Souce code formats, namely FileOut and SIF (using Eric Arsenau's SIF toolkit (http://www.pocketsmalltalk.com/sif)).
Now only module support is missing and then Squeak
port will follow.

We are in the process of merging our efforts with sqcvs group (http://www.bluefish.se:8080/sqcvs.1). The project web page will be updated accordingly, hopefully this weekend. More detailed information will be there.

It is accessible from the projects web page. It contains quick info on CVS and user level desription of CVSTProject

Allright, the first working version of the code is imported into the CVS repository. I still have to make a web page and start working on some docs.
