Hello! We are glad to announce the beta version of the upcoming VisualSVN 1.6 - the professional Subversion integration for Microsoft Visual Studio. The upcoming release will bring significant usability improvements and many bug fixes, of course. We encourage you to download this beta version and check that everything works well in your environment.
You can find the beta version of VisualSVN 1.6 at: http://www.visualsvn.com/visualsvn/beta/ What will be new in VisualSVN 1.6 ========================== Quick Revert ------------------ With the well known VisualSVN's Quick Diff feature you see all changed parts of your files in the real-time. The new Revert Selection command allows you to quickly revert selected changes. You can choose Revert Selection command from context menu or just run it by Ctrl+Alt+Z shortcut. Revert Selection command is integrated with the standard Undo/Redo stack so you will find this new VisualSVN's feature very useful! Editor-aware status --------------------------- The famous traffic-lights status becomes more precise. Now it considers even unsaved changes made in the editor. Hot switch -------------- Now you are able to switch between branches using combo-box at VisualSVN's toolbar. This is very handy when your are actively working on several branches. The UI is clean and user friendly. Other changes =========== * The Revert Changes context menu command is replaced by Revert Whole File command. The differences from former command are as follows: no dialog is shown and the command behavior is integrated with Undo/Redo stack. * VisualSVN settings are moved into the standard Visual Studio options dialog. * SSH client configuration is added. * Option to disable Quick Diff markers is added. * Errors and important warnings are logged to the Event Log. * "Subscribe for Updates" and "Provide Feedback" links are added to About dialog * About dialog is not closed when modifier keys (such as Alt, Ctrl or Shift) are pressed. * Start menu shortcut called "VisualSVN" is renamed to "VisualSVN Documentation".
