What is new in Syncro SVN Client 8.1
March 14, 2013
Version 8.1 of Syncro SVN Client offers support for committing changes to multiple
repositories at once. Also, the functionality of the commit operation was enhanced and
further improvements were added regarding the representation and deletion of working
copy items.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Commit to Multiple Repositories Syncro SVN Client offers support to commit working copy items across multiple
external definitions in one single step. No more overhead to handle external modified
items one by one. Even more, for SVN 1.7 working copies, externals from the same
repository are committed together, resulting less revisions generated in the
repository.
Remove Items from Version Control Easily remove items from version control using a dedicated option. You no
longer have to take different actions to avoid erasing files from your working copy
when needing to remove items only from the repository.
Improved Working Copy Items Deletion Any item missing from a working copy can be deleted, including missing
directories. The Delete action is more powerful and can help you with removing working
copy items that have states raising issues and unusual behaviors.
Improved Commit Committing working copy changes has never been easier. The Commit operation
was improved to help you when committing new items in the repository (unversioned or
added), by automatically collecting their ancestor directories which also need to be
versioned. Also, missing directories are now deleted when committing them. Finally,
the commit dialog box was redesigned to present items in a working-copy-like style and
information more appropriate for this operation.
Improved File Handling on Case-Insensitive File Systems File renames outside of the SVN client, on case-insensitive file systems,
are better handled regarding the Delete and Commit operations. The situations when a
file was lost after changing only letter-cases of its name were removed.
Better State Detection and Triage of Working Copy Items The states of the working copy items are detected in a more accurate
manner. Any type of changes of a working copy item are now presented in the Incoming
mode, allowing you to easily spot all sort of changes, including the ones which cannot
be committed to the repository.
Easily Locate Files in Your File Manager Working copy files can be easily located on your disk directly from the
Working Copy view. You don't need to identify the parent directory and search through
it.
Improvements and Bug Fixes This new version comes with various improvements and bug fixes regarding
opening and saving files from the repository, the check out operation and locks
handling on commit. Memory and performance issues were addressed also.
What is new in Syncro SVN Client 8.0
July 18, 2012
Version 8 of Syncro SVN Client adds as main feature support for Apache Subversion TM 1.7 and
improves the functionality of existing actions.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.00.
Support for SVN 1.7 Syncro SVN Client supports SVN 1.7.5, allowing you to take advantage of the latest
SVN improvements and fixes. Previous SVN versions and older working copies are also
supported. New SVN 1.7 working copies can be easily identified by the information in
the status bar.
Extended Support for Exporting Files The support for exporting files from a repository was made available also
in the Repositories and Revision Graph views. Now in the Repositories view it is
possible to export both directories and individual files.
Full Support for "svn add" Starting with version 8, the "svn add" command and all its options are
fully supported. The resources not under version control are collected automatically
from any directory of a working copy.
Improved Handling of Unversioned and Ignored Directories Processing content of unversioned or ignored directories can be avoided
using new options added in the Working Copy view. Syncro SVN Client can be configured to
ignore content of such directories, speeding up the loading of a working copy as well
as other SVN operations.
New Working Copy Data and Improved Representation The local modification time of files and the local revision of any working
copy item were added in the Working Copy view. Other changes include dimmed rendering
of ignored resources and improved sorting speed of working copy data.
Improvements and Bug Fixes The new version comes with various improvements and bug fixes, like
corrections regarding the states and types of the working copy items, speed
improvements on loading the working copy information, caching and auto-refreshing, and
many others.
What is new in Syncro SVN Client 7.2
February 21, 2012
Version 7.2 of Syncro SVN Client simplifies project sharing over SVN repositories and
fixes compatibility issues with SVN 1.7 servers. Being a maintenance release, it focuses
on bug fixes and small improvements.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.00.
Fixed SVN 1.7 Repositories Compatibility Issues Fixed critical issues that prevented Syncro SVN Client to properly
communicate with Subversion 1.7 servers. This version does not support yet the
Apache SubversionTM 1.7 new features and working
copies. Share Project A new action allows you to easily share a project on an SVN repository.
This lessens the user effort by importing the project in the repository and converting
the local project structure into an SVN working copy, all in a single
step.
Workspace Concept Introduced the concept of a workspace, used for now to
assist you to checkout new projects in a predefined location.
Improved Working Copy Handling Optimized the loading of working copies and switching between them. The
load operation became more responsive, allowing you to cancel it from an early
stage.
Bug Fixes Numerous bug fixes and other small improvements.
Note: The current version does not support yet the Apache SubversionTM
1.7 new features and working copies.
What is new in Syncro SVN Client 7.1
December 7, 2011
Version 7.1 of Syncro SVN Client introduces a reworked flexible layout and a
redesigned History view, improves the syntax highlight engine of built-in editors and
fixes a number of small bugs.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.00.
Flexible Application Layout Starting with version 7.1, Syncro SVN Client's flexible layout is back by popular
demand. This allows you to adapt the application to different viewing conditions and
personal requirements.
Redesigned History View The History View was redesigned to optimize the screen area usage and to
improve the way the information is delivered: - Now you can group revisions by their commit date to easily locate changes
in time.
- Improved representation of the paths affected in a revision, following the
same design used in the Working Copy and Repositories views. Data sorting and key
search features were added to help you easily handle large sets of affected
resources.
- Added tree-like representation of the affected paths used for filtering
them by location.
Improved Syntax Highlight Syncro SVN Client built-in editors feature a more accurate and efficient syntax
highlight algorithm for the content you want to edit. Also, mixed content types are
highlighted accordingly (like PHP scripts inside an HTML file).
Bug Fixes Numerous bug fixes and other small improvements.
Note: This version of Syncro SVN Client is not compatible with Apache
SubversionTM 1.7.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 7.0
July 8, 2011
Version 7.0 of Syncro SVN Client improves support for resource locking and
brings a fresh look and improved functionality of file comparison tools.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Improved Working Copy Locks Representation File locks in the Working Copy view are now presented using graphic
symbols, which allow you to rapidly identify files with active, broken or stolen
locks. Also, when synchronizing your working copy with the repository, you can see the
current lock state of files in the repository, including those locked by other
users.
Added Locking Support in Repositories View Repositories view now presents the existing file locks when browsing
repository content. Now you can lock or unlock files directly in the repository, using
actions available in the Repositories view.
Improved File Comparison Representation and Functionality Comparing algorithm has been improved to detect differences at a finer
level of granularity. Besides the old detection of different blocks of text, Syncro
SVN Client brings a second level of comparison, by directly emphasising word
differences inside these blocks. Management of differences was improved by presenting
an in-place widget which gives quicker access to actions which allow you to copy or
replace content of the currently selected difference.
SSH Host Verification Improved connection security when accessing for the first time a repository
through SSH protocol. Now, Syncro SVN Client allows you to interrupt the connection to
an untrusted SSH host.
Added Name Conflict State for Working Copy Files Syncro SVN Client signals the existence in repository of files considered
to have the same name on a case-insensitive operating system, like Microsoft Windows.
These files are marked as being in a Name Conflict state in your working
copy.
Component Updates Updated SVNKit library to version 1.3.5, compatible with Subversion 1.6.15,
which contains various bug fixes and improvements.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 6.2
April 6, 2011
Version 6.2 of Syncro SVN Client focuses on improving the Repositories view, offering
a new design, improved related actions workflow and an optimized repository
access.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Redesigned Repositories view The Repositories view was redesigned to display repository resources in a
filesystem-like fashion, allowing easier access to Subversion relevant information,
like author name, commit date, revision number and resource size.
Repositories view workflow improvements The contextual menu was reorganized to provide easier access to repository
operations. Also, switching to the History view will automatically display the history
log of the currently selected resource.
Optimized repository access Information already acquired from the repository is reused in some cases,
leading to reduced network traffic and faster operation execution times.
Important bug fixes Fixed a series of issues, with the most severe ones affecting Mac OS X
users.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 6.1
November 23, 2010
Version 6.1 of the Syncro SVN Client improves the information presented in the
Working Copy view and delivers better performance of the SVN related tasks and compare
operations.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Support for "--ignore-externals" Option You can choose to ignore "svn:externals" definitions when exporting or
checking out from repository or when updating resources in the working
copy.
Working Copy Workflow Improvements All Working Copy view modes contextual menus have the same content and
structure. They are dynamically built and display only the actions which can be
applied for the selected resources.
Working Copy Information Improvements Information about the resources file type is presented in the Working Copy
area in a new column, which allows you to sort the resources according to the file
extension. The external and switched resources are marked consistently in all working
copy presentation modes. Resources in a real conflict state are marked differently
than those in pseudo-conflict state for an easier identification.
Improved Status Bar Information The application status bar presents graphical hints corresponding to
different working copy options. For example, you can determine if the ignored/deleted
resources are being presented or not in the working copy or if the externals
definitions are processed.
Improved Diff Editor and Integrated Diff Tool All compare algorithms were improved, they use less memory and need a
shorter amount of time to perform compare operations. The Diff Editor presents the
names of the last authors who committed the compared files. More information here. Component Updates SVNKit library was updated to version 1.3.3, which contains various bug
fixes and performance improvements.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 6.0
July 23, 2010
Version 6.0 of the Syncro SVN Client brings improved performance, a new application
interface and a complete redesign of the Working Copy layout.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Redesigned application layout The application interface was changed and the Working Copy view was
completely redesigned as a filesystem like layout. The Working Copy and Synchronize
views were merged into a single central, easy-to-use view, allowing you to choose what
SVN-related information the application displays.
Configurable Working Copy view The information presented in the Working Copy view is customizable: you can
remove or reorder the columns and sort their content according to your needs. Relevant
information about incoming changes, like the author name, commit date and revision
number is available at a glance.
Performance improvements The new working copy uses up to 60% less memory than the previous versions
of Syncro SVN Client. This means faster operations on larger projects.
Synchronized history view You can easily access the history of the currently selected resource just
by switching to History view.
Guiding hints Even if you are a newcomer or an experienced user, Syncro SVN Client offers
you a set of guiding actions to ensure a continuous and productive work
flow.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 5.1
March 11, 2010
Version 5.1 of Syncro SVN Client
improves
working copy load time, automatically refreshes the working copy on external file
changes, makes repository browsing more responsive, adds support for repository imports
at file level, adds support for replacing resources, improves handling of obstructed
resources, improves history support, allows creating branches/tags directly from the
repository and offers options to print and save as image a revision
graph.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Faster working copy load time A working copy is cached, so that its next load operation in the Working
Copy view will be much faster due to reloading it from the cache.
Automatic refresh of the working copy The working copy is automatically refreshed when changes are detected in
the file system. This is done in order to update the state of the resources modified
by external applications.
More responsive repository browsing You can configure the repository connections timeout and stop
non-responsive repository browsing operations.
File level repository imports Added support for importing files into a repository.
Support for replacing working copy resources Working copy resources can be replaced with their HEAD or BASE
revision.
Better handling of obstructed resources Operations correctly take into account obstructed resources.
Improved history support The history of a resource deleted from the repository but which is still
present in the working copy is now displayed by properly detecting the revision at
which the resource was deleted.
Branch/Tag directly
from
the
repository The Branch/Tag action can be performed directly on the repository, without
having a working copy previously checked out.
Print and save as image a revision graph Generated revision graphs can be printed or saved as images.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 5.0
August 11, 2009
Version 5.0 of Syncro SVN Client adds the Diff Files and Diff Directories tools,
updates the main menu and toolbar actions for the Working Copy, Synchronize and
Repository views, and comes with a new application toolbar for easy access to the most
common SVN operations.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Diff Files tool This tool allows finding the differences between two local files using six
different diff algorithms and applying some options like ignore whitespaces, merge
adjacent differences, etc.
Diff Directories tool This tool allows finding the differences between two sets of files that
have the same names but are located in different folders. Two files with the same name
can be compared with the binary content method or the last modification timestamp
method.
User interface update The menus and toolbars were changed. Some actions were added or removed in
the menu bar and in the views Working Copy, Synchronize, Repository, History so that
the most used actions can be accessed faster. A new toolbar was added.
Specify working copy format at checkout Sometimes a working copy is used with more than one SVN application that
may not support the latest working copy format. For compatibility with such
applications the working copy format can be specified at checkout: SVN 1.4, SVN 1.5 or
SVN 1.6.
Upgrade and downgrade working copy format If the user does not want to upgrade the working copy format to the latest
format he can do that later with the Upgrade action. A downgrade action is available
for users who need compatibility with applications that do not support the latest
working copy format.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 4.2
May 15, 2009
Version 4.2 of Syncro SVN Client adds as main feature SVN 1.6 support. Other additions
include improvements to the symbolic links handling and a better performance when
working with revision graphs.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Support for SVN 1.6 Syncro SVN Client supports SVN 1.6.2, allowing users to take advantage of
the latest SVN improvements and fixes. Previous SVN versions are also supported, the
user being able to decide whether a working copy should be updated to version 1.6 or
not.
Tree conflicts handling Subversion 1.6 recognizes a new kind of conflict, known as a "tree
conflict". Such conflicts manifest at the level of directory structure, rather than
file content. These conflicts include deletions of locally modified files and incoming
edits to locally deleted files. Syncro SVN Client allows to handle these conflicts
offering a dialog that lists possible solutions for solving these conflicts.
Improvements to svn:externals Subversion 1.6 allows to link to external files by putting their URLs in
the svn:externals property on the parent folder. Syncro SVN Client allows you to
create, update, commit and remove external links from the user interface changing
automatically the svn:externals property as needed.
Improved revision graph performance Syncro SVN Client stores the result of a revision graph operation and
reuses that for further operations on the same repository, thus avoiding unnecessary
requests to the SVN server for the same data. This results in a noticeable increase in
performance.
Access to network SVN file repositories Network SVN repositories can be accessed using file URLs of the form
"file://server/path".
Better handling of symbolic links Syncro SVN Client analyses the structure created by symbolic links usage
detecting and handling infinite recursions.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 4.1
December 4, 2008
Version 4.1 of Syncro SVN Client adds a create patch wizard, a dialog for quickly
resolving conflicts resulted from a merge action and considerable performance
improvements.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
 | Create patch wizard This wizard allows you to create two patch types: a patch between a working
copy resource and a repository resource or a patch between two repository resources or
two revisions of the same resource. Other options like folder depth, ignore ancestry,
ignore whitespaces or include unversioned files can also be specified. |
 | Quickly resolve conflicts resulted from a merge action All the conflicts resulted from a merge action are listed in a dialog in
which each conflict can be manually resolved or you can choose a generic action for
automatically resolving all of them. |
 | Major performance improvements Many common SVN actions like refresh, add, revert, update, merge, show
history etc. were improved so that now they perform faster. Also, on Mac and Linux
computers, you can control the SVN symbolic link support. If you don't need this
support, you can disable it, which results in improved performance for common actions
like those above. |
 | Scroll lock button in Console view A Scroll lock button was added in the Console view. It disables console
automatic scrolling when a SVN operation logs many messages in it. This allows the
user to control the view and have enough time to read the displayed
messages. |
 | Updated the SVNKit library The SVNKit library was updated to the latest version - 1.2.1 - that
supports all Subversion 1.5.4 features. |
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 4.0
September 2, 2008
Version 4.0 of Syncro SVN Client adds Subversion 1.5 features like merge tracking,
sparse checkout and relative URLs for the svn:externals property and a merge wizard
which simplifies the SVN merge operations.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Support for SVN 1.5 The SVN Client has been updated to support SVN 1.5 working copies and
repositories.
Merge tracking Starting with SVN 1.5 the revision at which a branch is merged is
remembered. This is useful for the next merge operation when only the changes
committed to the branch after the previous merge operation are
considered.
Sparse checkout Sometimes not all the files and subdirectories of a repository are needed
in a working copy. In these cases only the needed subdirectories and files can be
checked out from the repository by selecting one of the following checkout depths for
a directory: recursive, immediate children, file children only, this folder
only.
Update to revision A new action "Update to revision" is available in the Working Copy view. It
allows updating the resources selected in the working copy to an earlier revision from
the repository. The depth of the update operation on the folders can be selected from
the values allowed by SVN 1.5 sparse checkout.
Relative URLs for svn:externals The value of the svn:externals property can be specified using a relative
URL as defined by SVN 1.5.
Improved merging support A merge wizard was added to perform complex merge operations easier. Three
types of merging are available: merge revision ranges, reintegrate a branch and merge
two different trees. Advanced merge options can also be set.
Improved Open With action The action works now on multiple file selection and is available in the
Working Copy view, Synchronize view and Repository view.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 3.2
June 11, 2008
Version 3.2 of Syncro SVN Client adds a set of improvements to the previous version:
filtering the content of the History view based on revision number and commit date,
computation of the SVN annotations on a limited range of revisions, modification of the
attributes of a revision in history, configurable shortcut keys for actions, editing a
conflict with an external diff application, editing of global SVN configuration files
and some new comparison actions.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Filter revisions in History view The content of the History view can be filtered now also by revision number
and commit date. In previous versions it was filtered only by author name and commit
message. A Search button was added and the string entered in the search field is
applied only when the button is pressed. This improves the performance of previous
versions in which the filter was applied for every character entered in the search
field.
Get the annotations of a specified range of revisions When the history of a file is very long getting the annotations of a file
(the author name and revision number that edited the last time each line of the file)
can take a lot of time. If you need only the annotations created by a specific range
of revisions you can specify a start and end revision and get only the annotations of
that range.
Modify the attributes of a revision in history When the commit message of a revision is not clear or it does not cover
exactly the purpose of a committed revision this message can be modified directly in
the SVN repository. Also the SVN user name that committed a revision can be
modified.
Review modifications in files that will be committed Now it is possible to review directly from the Commit dialog the
modifications that are about to be committed on a file. Just double click on a file in
the list of files presented in the Commit dialog for reviewing the differences between
the local version and the latest version from the repository with the file diff
tool.
Configurable shortcut keys Now it is possible to set and change shortcut keys for a large set of user
actions available in the views and dialogs of the application. The configurable
actions are listed in the Menu Shortcut Keys panel from the Preferences
dialog.
Edit conflicts with an external diff application The external diff application that is configured for viewing the
differences between two revisions of a file is used now also for editing a SVN
conflict generated in a local file by updating the file from the SVN repository.
Ignore ancestry in a SVN merge operation Usually the two trees of SVN resources are merged only if they have a
common ancestry. Now the case of merging two trees that are not related by a common
ancestry is also supported. This is useful for example if one of the trees was
imported in the SVN repository so the common ancestry is not available.
Edit global configuration files The SVN client tool can be configured also with the parameters set in the
global SVN files called 'config' and 'servers'. These parameters are applied to all
the SVN client tools that are used by the same user. These two files can be opened for
editing with two edit actions available on the Options menu.
Apply the external diff tool in three-way diff actions The external diff tool configured for two-way diff actions is applied now
also in three-way diff actions: edit a conflict, compare the local version of a file
with the latest version from the repository HEAD.
Compare two files selected in the Working Copy view The differences between two files selected in the Working Copy view can be
displayed with the action Compare with Each Other available on the right click menu in
this view.
Compare action on a revision from history The Affected Paths area of the History view displays both files that were
only modified and files that were added together with the currently selected revision
of the history. Now a compare action is available in the Affected Paths area also for
added files.
Compare action on a revision of a merged file When selecting the revision of a SVN branch that will be merged with the
SVN trunk or with other SVN branch it is useful to review the differences between a
revision of a file displayed in the Affected Paths area of the History dialog and the
previous revision of the same file. A compare action is now available in the Affected
Paths area for displaying these differences.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 3.1
February 21, 2008
Version 3.1 of Syncro SVN Client introduces two new presentation modes in the
Synchronize view (the compressed mode and the flat mode), new actions in the Working
Copy view, in the History view and in the Synchronize view and a compare folders action
on the revision graph of a folder.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Compressed mode and flat mode in the Synchronize view The compressed mode presents the SVN resources in the Synchronize view as a
tree with two levels, grouping the resources by their parent folder. The flat mode
presents the SVN resources as a list. These modes are useful when you want to update
or commit to the SVN repository the content of a folder without going recursively into
its subfolders or for obtaining the complete list of the SVN resources that need to be
synchronized.
Revert the changes of a revision In the History view it is possible to revert the changes made by a
revision to a resource by selecting the revision and locating the resource in the
affected paths panel and using the "Revert changes from this revision" action from the
contextual menu. The changes are reverted in the current version of the file in the
working copy. If the change was in fact a SVN delete operation the result will be the
restoring of the deleted file in the working copy.
Get Contents action in the History view A new action was added in the contextual menu of the History view for
replacing the content of a file from the working copy with the content of a revision
of that file from the history.
Compare with Branch/Tag action in the Working Copy view This action compares the working copy version of a file with a revision
from a SVN branch or tag. The branch or the tag can be easily selected using a
repository browser dialog.
New External Folder action in the Working Copy view A new external folder can be created quickly by entering the folder name
and the target in a dialog that sets them in svn:externals property.
Compare two revisions of a folder directly from a revision graph The set of changes that were committed between two revisions of a folder
can be computed with an action executed directly from the revision graph of the
folder. The result of this compare action is displayed in the Directory Change Set
view.
Support for external SSH clients The command line for calling an external SSH client can specify any
parameter accepted by the external SSH client. The SVN username can be other than the
SSH username. The SVN username can be specified separately in an authentication dialog
or Syncro SVN Client will use the default SVN username set on the server for the SSH
user.
What is new in Syncro SVN Client 3.0
January 15, 2008
Version 3.0 of Syncro SVN Client introduces visual editing of SVN conflicts, a view
with all the changes between two revisions of a SVN folder, setting a reference revision
number to the SVN repository browser.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Visual conflict editing An update operation may bring the local copy of a file in a conflict state.
The conflict state can be resolved more quickly if the conflicts are edited visually
in a compare view which presents the two conflicting versions side by side like a Diff
application. In the compare view the user decides for each conflict the variant which
will remain and will be finally committed to the repository: the local one, the
repository one or a manually edited combination of the two variants.
Play the video demonstration
Directory Change Set view Sometimes a set with all the changes committed on any resource of a folder
and its subfolders is needed. The user just selects a start revision number and an end
one from the history of the folder and runs an action which gathers the set of all
these changes. The Directory Change Set view presents the set of changes in a tree
format. The revisions corresponding to a resource from the tree are grouped in a
separate list.
Play the video demonstration
Change Browse Revision action A revision number can be set to the SVN repository browser as the
reference revision for all operations like browsing, checkout, compare, etc.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.6
December 3rd, 2007
Version 2.6 of Syncro SVN Client introduces a filter option in the History view, drag
and drop operations in the Working Copy view, better indentation of text in the compare
panel and in the editor panel with the option to configure the size of the tab
character.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Filter the revisions displayed in the History view When a SVN resource had a long history of modifications it was difficult to
locate the revisions with a commit message or author name matching a specified string.
By entering this string in a filter text field the list of history entries is
restricted on the fly to the set of matching entries.
Drag and drop operations in the Working Copy view Files and folders can be dragged from other applications and dropped in the
Syncro SVN Client's Working Copy view as unversioned resources. The structure of the
file tree can be changed in the Working Copy view by drag and drop operations inside
this view.
Better indentation of text in compare panel and editor panel An option for specifying the number of spaces for the tab character allows
you to configure the text indentation.
Password of SVN user stored correctly when the computer changes the IP
address In previous versions the password stored in the local user preferences for
accessing a SVN repository was invalidated when the computer received a new IP
address, for example when it was connected to a different network.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.5
October 29th, 2007
Version 2.5 of Syncro SVN Client introduces the options of associating a file type
with an editor and of specifying an external application for diff operations and fixes
various bugs.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Associate a file type with an editor For each file type the associated editor which opens files of that type can
be specified by choosing one of three options: the default external application
installed in the operating system, a particular external application specified by the
path to its executable launcher or one of the built-in editors.
Specify an external application for diff operations If an external application is specified for diff operations in the SVN user
preferences this application is preferred for all the compare operations instead of
the internal diff tool.
Various bug fixes A SSL certificate is correctly asked when a SVN server accessed by the
HTTPS protocol requires such a certificate. The correct encoding is used when a file
is asked directly from the SVN repository in compare operations.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.4
June 6th, 2007
Version 2.4 of Syncro SVN Client allows to see the history of a resource as a history
graph in which every revision of the resource is represented with a node.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
History Graph The history of a resource can be viewed as a graph in which a node
represents a revision of the resource. The icon and the background color of a node
represent the operation that generated a revision. The node contains also the
repository path and the revision number. The contextual menu of a graph node contains
operations that can be applied directly to the revision represented by that node: open
the resource, show the history in History View, compare with the HEAD revision, check
out. What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.3
April 2nd, 2007
Version 2.3 of Syncro SVN Client allows to quickly find what happened in a project or
what a user worked during a given period of time, improves the integration with bug
tracking tools, adds application global ignores for unversioned resources displayed in
the Working Copy view and more.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
History Filters to Quickly Find What Happened Ever wondered what happened today in your project? Or what John worked all
last week? You can get this quickly with the new filtering options from the Show
History dialog. First you specify a range choosing from either predefined intervals
(today, yesterday, last week, etc.), revisions or specific start/end dates and then
you can filter by author.
Extensible Set of Revisions in History View and History Dialog The set of revisions presented in the History view and the History dialog
can be extended from an initial number of 50 revisions using two new buttons: get the
next 50 revisions and get all revisions.
Improve the Integration with Bug Tracking Tools The bug ID included in the Commit message is presented in the History view
as a hyperlink which opens a web browser at the page of the bug when it is clicked.
The URL of the web page with the bug must be configured with a SVN
property.
Application Global Ignores The unversioned resources are filtered in the Working Copy view based on
ignore filters set in the SVN preferences.
Show SVN Properties for Repository Resources The action Show SVN Properties is also available for repository resources
in the Repository View and displays the properties of the selected resource in the
Properties view.
Order the Repositories in the Repository View The order of the repositories listed in the Repository view can be changed
using two arrow buttons on the toolbar of the view.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.2
March 5th, 2007
Version 2.2 of Syncro SVN Client adds support for SVN Annotations, integration with
bug tracking tools and operations on a revision from the Affected Paths area of History
view.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a
price of USD 59.
Annotations View This view enables you to quickly find the author and the revision number
that changed a specific line of a file. The Annotations view is synchronized with the
History view and the editor panel: clicking on a line in one of the two views or in
the editor panel highlights the corresponding lines in the other two
areas.
Integration with Bug Tracking Tools Users of bug tracking systems can associate the changes they make in the
repository resources with a specific ID in their bug tracking system. When the user
enters a commit message, the bug ID is added to this message. The format and the
location of the ID in the commit message are configured with SVN
properties.
Operations on a Revision from Affected Paths In the Affected Paths area of the History view there are available
operations for opening, saving, updating, comparing and showing the history of the
selected revision.
Find Next and Find Previous Actions Extended to Text Areas The Find Next (F3) and Find Previous (Shift + F3) work also in non editable
text areas, for example in the Console View, enabling quick searches without invoking
the Find/Replace dialog.
Open in System Application Action This action was added in the Working Copy view for opening the selected
resource with the default application associated with that type of resource in the
operating system.
What was new in Syncro SVN Client 2.1
February 14th, 2007
Version 2.1 of Syncro SVN Client adds two new actions in the Working Copy view:
Relocate working copy and Switch location and also a series of enhancements and
fixes.
Syncro SVN Client can be freely evaluated for 30 days and can be purchased for a price of USD
59.
The Relocate Action When the base URL of the repository is changed, for example the repository
is moved to other server, the repository path of the working copy can be easily
changed with this action. The action is available also for individual resources of the
working copy.
The Switch Action This action changes the location of a working copy or only an item of the
working copy within the same repository. The item must be versioned in order to allow
switching the repository location.
Fonts Configuration The font family, font size and font style for the editor and the GUI
components are configurable. Text antialiasing can be turned on.
File Types Configuration File associations can be defined between a file extension and the type of
editor that opens the file. If the file extension corresponds to a built-in
association, for example .xml, .xsd, .xsl then the user defined association redefines
the built-in one.
Encoding for Non-XML Files For XML files there are well-known rules of encoding detection. For other
file types if the encoding is not the platform's default one it needs to be specified
in order to read the file correctly.
Optional Upgrade of the Working Copy Format When a working copy in the SVN 1.3 format is loaded in the Working Copy
view it can optionally be upgraded to the SVN 1.4 format.
