Alameda, Calif.,- December 18, 2006 - Perforce Software today
announced the upcoming availability of the newest version of Perforce,
the Fast Software Configuration Management (SCM) System. Release 2006.2
includes an enhanced version of the Perforce Server and new features to
several client tools.
Perforce SCM is an award winning tool that versions and manages source code and digital assets for enterprises large and small.
Server highlights in Perforce 2006.2 include:
. Improved branching performance: the check-in time for large branch
operations has been significantly improved by reducing the number of database and journal file updates.
. Automatic labels: New automatic labels are fast and efficient to
apply
and are effective as aliases for 'changelists' or groups of files that encapsulate sets of changes.
. More administrative control: Administrators now have more tools to
ensure concurrency at peak loads.
. File size calculation: Users can see in advance how much space a
collection of files will occupy on a local disk.
"The most important part of Perforce is the back-end or server which is the intelligent part of the system," explained Christopher Seiwald, president and chief technology officer. "I believe we already have the best SCM engine in the world and our server enhancements ensure we keep pace with the voluminous growth of data our customers manage."
Perforce 2006.2 also features enhanced versions of the following client
tools: The Perforce Windows Client, The Perforce Web Client, The Perforce Plug-in for WindowsR Explorer and The Perforce FTP Plug-in.
