MICROSOFT - Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 2005

Description

Visual SourceSafe is a version control system that: Protects users from accidental file loss • Allows back-tracking to previous versions of a file • Allows branching, sharing, merging, and management of file releases • Tracks versions of entire projects • Tracks modular code (one file that is reused, or shared, by multiple projects).

Through project-oriented version control and rich integration with Visual Studio, Visual SourceSafe provides individual developers and small development teams with tools to make safe alterations to existing code and track changes across users, projects, and time. Visual SourceSafe is a version control system product that delivers restore point and parallel collaboration capabilities, thus allowing application development organizations to work on several versions of software simultaneously. The version control system introduces a check-in and check-out model in which an individual developer checks out a file, makes changes, and then checks the file back in. Other developers typically are not able to make changes to a file while it is checked out. Source code control systems also allow developers to roll back or undo any changes that later create problems.

Support for Larger Projects and Distributed Teams - Software efforts that are increasingly global in nature span time zones, domains, and continents. Visual SourceSafe 2005 is changing to address the needs of these global teams: Remote Web Access over HTT
Check Out Improvements. Visual SourceSafe and Visual Studio are even better together through continued innovations to the integrated source code control experience in Visual Studio, including the ability to check out a file from a local Working Folder dir
Web Project Enhancements. Take advantage of greater flexibility in specifying project locations, and synchronize renamed or deleted files within Visual Studio. Open and browse source-controlled projects using the standard Open Project dialog
Enhanced Performance and Stability. Work faster with significantly improved LAN access speeds, particularly when using Visual SourceSafe along with Visual Studio in slow and remote RAS configurations. While maintaining the compatibility of its current cli
Increased Capacity. Data storage is increased to 4 GB, and archive limits are also enlarged
Regional Time Zones and Languages. View file change histories adjusted to your local regional time zone while maintaining a separate audit log of changes synchronized to the server reference clock. Customize the user interface with any specified language
Enhanced Customization - Teams can take advantage of new automation and extensibility features to automate their processes and extend the functionality of Visual SourceSafe: Support for Custom Viewers, Merge Tools, and Editors. Use the new plug-in editor
Managed Code Extensibility. Use the .NET Programmable Interop Assemblies (PIA) for Visual SourceSafe automation to further extend Visual SourceSafe with new functionality that can be developed using Visual C# and Visual Basic .NET
Automate Your Team Processes. Use events, such as OnBeforeCheckout or OnAfterCheckIn to automate your process. Leverage the new MSBuild tool by creating custom tasks that retrieve and download source code files before building them with an automated build
Web Development and Productivity Improvements - Visual Studio source control integration for Visual SourceSafe was updated to improve developer productivity, particularly when developing Web services and Web sites
Unicode and XML Support. When developing ASP.NET Web services with previous versions of Visual SourceSafe, all XML files such as Web.config, .wsdl, .disco, .map, and others were stored as a binary format in Visual SourceSafe.
