Improved Productivity

Open Working Directory

Quickly locate files and folders in the working directory.

Branch List Navigation

More easily navigate the branch list with the new hierarchical branch combo box.

New Reports

Gain a clearer understanding of user actions with new report options. Reports based on actions performed by users can include data for the current user or all users, and all actions or all change actions. For example, create a public report that includes all change actions performed by the current user in the last week.

Surround SCM 2008.1 includes additional productivity features, such as support for comparing multiple file versions at the same time. View the release notes for a complete list.

 

Usability Enhancements

Snapshot Branch History

Snapshot branches now include the ability to view the full history of a file in the parent branch. This allows users to view the actions performed on a file before the branch was created and to get, view, or diff files from the parent branch.

Improved Handling of Deleted Files

Surround SCM 2008.1 also provides more control over handling local files that were removed from the server. When a user performs a get command, removed files that are not modified in the working directory will be deleted automatically, keeping the working directory more in sync with the branch.

 

Window and Dialog Customization Persistence

Any changes you make to Surround SCM's appearance, such as resizing a window or changing the column layout, are now remembered locally for subsequent use of the window or dialog.

 

Additional IDE Integrations

Surround SCM 2008.1 includes integration support NetBeans (Windows and Linux), IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 and 7.0, and Eclipse 3.3. In addition, the enhanced Visual Studio integration provides more Surround SCM functionality, including the ability to create labels, merge files, and set a file's workflow state.
