Just for the sake of nostalgics... Have a look at one of the firsts approaches of the version tree... Posted by Picasa

New configuration wizard

Friday, May 26, 2006 Daniel Peñalba 0 Comments

We have created a new configuration wizard for Plastic. This wizard allows to set configuration parameters in a more easy way, into client.conf file.

Possible execution error caused by configuration errors will be avoided.



With the wizard we can configure:

  • Language
  • Configuration mode of user/security system.
  • Active Directory configuration parameters (if exist)
  • Workspace server
  • Default repository

Running on mono

Friday, May 26, 2006 Pablo Santos 0 Comments

We are running the GUI tool on mono again. This time we have installed 1.1.15 on Linux. It seems the mono team has done a big effort improving winforms. We didn't make any change on our GUI tool but this time it looks much nicer than before... :-)

Well, we are still far from the aspect it has on Windows, but it is quite clear (maybe we can do some fixes on our code to enhance the looks on mono) that the tool will look the same on both platforms.

Having a look at an screenshot we took running with 1.1.13-2 is easy to appreciate the big improvements achieved by the mono team.

Transparency was still broken on that version, as the big black "holes" on the tool revealed...

One of our main targets is having a multi-platform system, and using mono it seems we will be able to make it real.

Well, and the last one is a screenshot on XP... It still looks better but... let's wait and see ;-)

A revision full of arrows

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Pablo Santos 0 Comments


Well, I think it was just a couple of weeks ago when Borja and me reviewed the ancestor algorithm to allow multiple merge arrows going to a same revision, something that was in the initial design but not supported due to an small detail...

Anyway, I was just playing with a revision tree today, through the VPN, watching the last changes in a certain directory and...

Yes! It seems that david and dani are already getting the best out of this new feature... Four modifications between two releases, and two merges going to the same revision during the merge...

Looks good!

VNC based test visualization system

Thursday, May 18, 2006 Pablo Santos 0 Comments

We are already testing our system using several virtual machines, and now we are starting to see the benefits of our multiple VNC visualization software.

It's a .NET based package that allows simultaneous control of several VNC servers. You only have to move the mouse from one window to another and you switch control between machines. We are currently controlling both windows and linux boxes.

Alpha release GUI

Here is shot of the GUI that will go to the alpha release. There is a simplified (and portable) version of the ribbon, less functional, but still good-looking.

Some more graphics

Thursday, May 11, 2006 Pablo Santos 1 Comments


Well, after the merge scenarios we created as unit tests last week, we wanted to see how this tree would look like on our tool.

And here it is. Still a beta version but it is ok to have an idea. Maybe the tree is to complex to be displayed on 3D.

Merging nightmare

Thursday, May 04, 2006 Pablo Santos 0 Comments





Yesterday Borja and me, were working on some improvements on the merge code. Well, he designed all the most horrible merge scenarios you can think of, or at least some of them.

The image shows a nice and complex version tree with lots of different test cases.

Now we are able to handle multiple merges to a same revision, and solving correctly the common ancestor. We were already solving those cases but with some unsolved issues.
