New Features

AccuBridge for Visual Studio 2005 PE is a completely new integration between AccuRev and Visual Studio 2005. It implements the SCC provider interfaces that are part of the Visual Studio 2005 Package Technology (VSPT). This integration does not use the old Microsoft Common Source Code Control Interface (MCSCCI) unlike previous versions. As a result, using the new integration is much more AccuRev-like.

Highlights of This Release

These features are described in the document “Using AccuBridge for Visual Studio 2005 PE.”

AccuRev commands are present in the Solution Explorer context menu

AccuRev Tool Window with Searches and History Views

An AccuRev Toolbar for quickly executing commands on selected items in Solution Explorer

Support for Solutions spanning multiple AccuRev workspaces

Note: If you decide to go back to using the older SCC integration, you will need to first uninstall this new beta integration, re-install the previous add-in, and re-bind your projects to the AccuRev source control provider.
