Perforce Releases Latest Version Of SCM

Perforce Software has announced the availability of the newest release of Perforce, the Fast Software Configuration Management (SCM) System. Perforce tracks and manages source code, document, and digital asset development for software production environments. The Perforce Server now offers enhanced security and administrative capabilities through external authentication triggers, enabling LDAP and similar systems to integrate with Perforce. This enhancement is meant to allow organisations to increase security and streamline IT administration through the use of centralised user management policies. The Perforce Visual Client – the graphical interface to Perforce available on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD – has also been enhanced to include new support for comparing local workspace folders with depot folders, as well as depot folders with one another. The functionality of the Perforce Plug-in for WebSphere Studio has been enhanced to improve the experience of developers who are working offline, and the 2005.2 version of the Perforce SCC Plug-in has been upgraded to support Visual Studio 2005.
