AccuRev Ships New Web Interface

December 23rd, 2009

version-browser

The new Web Interface for AccuRev 4.7 is now available. This new Web Interface adds significant developer-oriented functionality that simplifies collaboration across geographically distributed teams without sacrificing security or speed.

The Web Interface provides enhancements for developers making it much simpler to use. History, version browsing, diff, and annotate are very tightly integrated and the version browser has been completely redesigned to be easier to navigate. By default, the version browser interface displays only the streams related to the selected version and users can add additional streams as desired.

With integrated Permalinks, developers are now able to easily share information and send a persistent link to other users. This release also provides most of the functionality of the AccuRev Stream Browser™ from a new panel in the file browser.

The functionality of the new Web Interface enhances performance and usability for remote teams implementing complex software development processes. Examples include these key features:

  • Version browser provides a graphical representation of the history of files making it easier to do history navigation
  • Annotate functionality provides the ability to navigate through the history of changes from the visual timeline
  • Stream Browser™ functionality automatically uses the context of the current view providing an integrated view
  • Charting and graphing for AccuWork issue tracking enabling detailed reporting of project status
  • Permalink URLs are available for most views within the Web Interface enabling improved collaboration
