News about the CvsGui development. WinCvs 2.0.2-4 going milestone (2005-11-11) Dear WinCvs users, We are proud to present you with long awaited milestone release of WinCvs 2.x. With this version you will get more of everything. More buttons to click and menus to select as well as more options to choose from for each CVS command. Most important of all you have more freedom to configure your setup thanks to the separation of CVS binary from the front-end allowing for independent upgrades. You can now download and install any new CVSNT version as soon as it's released without waiting for WinCvs to catch-up. Or you can download just the bare installer of WinCvs if you already have CVSNT installed and you want to reduce the size of download. We choose CVSNT as our primary CVS binary because of it's dynamic development pace and feature set that greatly surpasses the original CVS package while maitaining compatibility with both CVS and CVSNT servers. With CVSNT a whole new way of defining your CVSROOT came to life. We now have a generic and fully automatic way of defining CVSROOT string that eliminates the need of hardcoding different options for different authentication methods. Any new authentication method installed with CVSNT will be shown and supported immediately. Another major addition is Python support which is now a primary scripting tool for WinCvs and of course we have a whole bunch of new macros too. Download and find out for yourself! The CvsGui team First stable gCvs version (2003-01-20)
Dear gCvs users, We're pleased to announce the release of gCvs 1.0. This release includes numerous enhancements and bugfixes.
No more cvsgui.org (2002-10-07) Dear CvsGui users, In some mysterious way our domain cvsgui.org has fallen into the hands of the domain name squatter Michael Berkens and the Worldwide Media, Inc. (aka MostWantedDomains.biz) company. We are still investigating the matter, please use the www.wincvs.org or cvsgui.sourceforge.net for the time being isntead. We are truly sorry and apologize for any inconvenience caused. The CvsGui team, WinCvs 1.2 shipped (2001-2-21)
Dear WinCvs users, After a long process of beta-testing, WinCvs 1.2 is finally out. New features: Installation: The CvsGui team, Hello, I'm pleased to announce the birth of www.cvsgui.org. This address is intended to replace wincvs.org on a long term. The new web site is hosted by Strata Inc.. As the objective of the CvsGui project is resolutely to cross the platforms barriers, the new name makes more sense for the users of MacCvs and gCvs. Another objective will be to put more and more of the resources on SourceForge and to hire (for free!) a webmaster in order to help for the web administration of the web site. alex.
Hello, In the last years, cvsgui did grow exponentially. We need to find a proper solution for the web hosting of the project. 3d.com & Strata Software are going to host the html site. They already offered many internet resources for the WinCvs/MacCvs/gCvs project during these past years, including the cvs repository, Bugzilla and the new Bonzai system. MacCvs, WinCvs and gCvs started all in Strata Software, thanks to Gary Bringhurst the tech leader and technical VP of Strata who initially assigned me on enhancing the initial port of cvs on Macintosh and then decided to give away the initial MacCvs client under the Gnu Public License. The CvsGui project is a complete volunteer project. It has been started with MacCvs in 1996 by Mike Ladwig, Matthias Neeracher and Alexandre Parenteau. Then in 1997 came WinCvs and in 2000 gCvs. Today the project counts between 8 and 10 regular developers on several platforms with contributions of many others. The total number of people relying on a regular basis on the clients WinCvs/MacCvs/gCvs is believed to be between 10,000 and 40,000 developers worldwide. The CvsGui project now needs contributions from its users : we are basically asking for ftp mirrors around the world. In order to avoid the current situation (one of our major site cannot handle anymore the bandwidth of the site), we need to find between 10 and 15 ftp site worldwide (5 in North America, 3 in Europe, 2 in Asia). We also are going to restrain the distribution of binaries and sources to the most recent version. Thanks to the recent cvs repository, it's not necessary anymore for whose who want to contribute to download each time the whole source code. If you want to contribute a little part of your ftp server to the CvsGui project, please send me an email along with these informations : The general form of the URL to provide has to be something like :
The master site to ftp from is (you use cron nightly typically in order to mirror it) :
Thanks,
Hello, The project is going crazy. You are more and more to ask for support and new features. I can no longer reply to all the messages individually, we gonna have to figure something else. First please ask the cvs mailing list when you got a problem : there are a lot of experienced users who can help you out to get started. And read the cvs doc! Well, I'm sure you knew that ;-) Then use the bug database system to see if the problem you're experiencing has been already reported. Also I would appreciate that people spend time to compile some useful FAQs entries for the site. The good location to submit such contributions is the bug database as well. This would help a lot the users in general and the project in particular. I'll be in charge to report the entries in the web site. You'll also note a new developer page : it's been designed to open the cvsgui development even more, cause a lot of you guys are welling to help. Hopefully these new resources sponsored by my company 3d.com will help me to spend less time answering emails and more time coding ! Enjoy !
Hello, MacCvs is back. The reason is that I returned to work for my old company, which develops on Mac. The major concerned was a fix in the command line. But as I did that, I did also make sure the Mac build is gonna be as easy as is the Windows one. Enjoy !
Hello, At least ! For us it's great relieve, because it was becoming a real problem : despite the great support of the WinCvs users on the cvs mailing list, the volume of informations necessary to get started an increasing number of new users was critical. So Don Harper did the the most difficult : getting started with the documentation. I'd like to thank him in name of all the WinCvs users, and especially in name of the new users. I personally like it, and especially this step by step approach. This documentation refer to the current 1.0.6 version. I still recommend for the new cvs administrators to read the cvs documentation (translated in WinHelp format by Norbert Klamann) *before* using WinCvs, and also to experiment cvs first using the command line tool. Still there are two different things we should accomplish together : - First let's maintain it. Please send your comments if you find a mistake of if you'd like some points to be enhanced. Don didn't offer to maintain it all, but he can probably have a look sometimes to some proposals. Feel free to write on your own a whole chapter (English fluent required !). I've heard also about some translations, especially from the Japanese users : if you want to translate it, please drop me an email first so I get sure this is done once. - Second let's continue to reply to simple questions about WinCvs. As WinCvs is more and more used, people are asking for a real professionalism and support. If you can provide a commercial support, please drop me an email, I'd be glad to put a link on you guys (I'm not sure if Cyclic is supporting WinCvs, but they may have some contacts who do it). alex. Hello, Because of the increasing number of WinCvs/MacCvs developers, I decided to get started on a WinCvs 1.1 beta project. Several peoples requested things and now we need a developer version in order to do it. I'm more and more surprised by the quantity of good patches : please keep going, I'm always happy to implement your work and put your name in the ChangeLog ! Now a little personal thing for the Mac users : I should be back to macintosh (and in US) by the 1st of July. alex.
Hello, I'm pleased to announce the birth of www.wincvs.org. The CvsGui project is still growing because of the contributions of the cvs users. This new place is dedicated for all the cvs users who want cvs to spread all over this (unsafe) source world ;-). Thanks to LiveWire Inc. (http://www.lw.net) which hosts now WinCvs.org for the USA and paid the domain name registration for the WinCvs users. Links: Contact: 03/18/1999
