Codice branches out with new version of SCM tool

By Jeff Feinman

December 1, 2009 — Version control software and software configuration management (SCM) company Codice Software has revamped its version control system to better track and map development history.

Plastic SCM 2.8, released yesterday, can offer thousands of task-focused code branches that can be worked upon in separate locations, and then synchronized with the full codebase when the task is completed. Pablo Santos, CEO of Codice, said any combination of branches can be merged for better developer productivity and speed.

He said the entire code replication process has been improved in the new version of Plastic SCM. “Replications are faster now and consume less network bandwidth,” he said.

“It’s much easier said than done, but it’s a good improvement for distributed teams. We really tried to make the best use of network resources, so even if you’re worlds apart, you can always rely on the way the data is changed.”

A new 3D graphical version tree shows when project changes were made and provides information on source code development. Plastic SCM 2.8 now can work with 64-bit operating systems, which Santos said is good for heavy loads and accesses more memory.

Plastic SCM can operate across Linux, Mac OS X and Windows platforms, and it integrates with back-end databases, including Firebird, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQL Server.

Codice, based in Spain, entered the U.S. market in March 2008 with Plastic SCM 2.0, designed to help developers work on parallel tracks in the software development process without conflicting with one another’s work. It competes with such tools as CVS, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, Perforce and Subversion.
