VC/m 2.2 Release Notes |
|
Right software, right time, right place™
What's new?
Release 2.2 contains a number of bug fixes in various areas.
It also includes the following new functionality:
1.
Browser Interface –
Change Request View
The browser interface now supports a Change Request view of each location.
Any Change Request that has Objects in a location will be displayed by this
view. The status of the Change Request will reflect the state of the Objects
within that location. For example, if one or more Objects are checked-out
then the Change Request will be shown as Checked-out.
2.
Microsoft Word Interface
Check-out, check-in and transfer functions can now be performed directly
for Word documents using an add-in for Microsoft Word. A generic API allows
any extensible client-side tool (eg Visual Basic, Delphi, Excel, Front Page)
to be integrated with VC/m. This release contains an add-in for Microsoft Word
that implements this API.
3.
Browser Interface –
Select by Status
An additional filter has been implemented that allows Objects, Components and
Change Requests to be selected by their status (Checked-out, Registered, Unregistered)
in addition to being selected using wildcards and ranges.
4.
Component Date/Time
Stamps
The modification date/time stamp on components can now be preserved
when components are transferred by VC/m. This applies to Binary and Text components
across operating systems which improves manageability in hybrid environments
and facilitates enterprise wide configuration management and control.
For Binary and Text components it is necessary to install Perl and to make
the following configuration changes:
>s ^%vcvc(“perlCommand”)="c:\program
files\perl\perl.exe" ; where this is the path to the perl interpreter
>s ^%vcvc(“programFiles”)="c:\program files\george james software\vcm"
; where this is the path to the VC/m installation location
5.
Port to M21 on UNIX
VC/m 2.2 now runs with M21 on UNIX platforms.
