Client Version 7.1.4.15 Released
15-June-2008
The latest release of Team Coherence fixes some issues in both the Client and the Server. The main client-side improvements include a new HTML editor for modifying object notes in Version Manager (you can still specify an alternative if required), and the fixing of several issues in the default code viewer. In addition, some issues have been resolved regarding Queries, and all Version Lists now respect the visibility of Version Manager (if installed) labels, and now also include manually typed labels.The server update includes a startup switch that will reconnect revision history with files on the very rare occasion that revision history appears to be 'lost'.
The client-side update is free for existing registered users of the relevant modules of Team Coherence, regardless of the server version.
If you are using version 7.1.x of the server, the new server download requires an upgrade fee. For users of version 7.2.x versions, the upgrade is free.
For more information on the changes, see the change history.

06-March-2008
Fixes some shutdown issues and resolves some minor bugs in the previous release. SCC API (Visual Studio) support has also been improved.In addition we have trawled through the codebase to improve stability and to identify areas where we can add extra functionality. Progress has also being made on wrapping the API in a .NET class to allow direct access to the Team Coherence (Version Manager and Tracker) API's from within .NET applications.
All changes are client-side and are free for existing registered users of the relevant modules of Team Coherence.

Version 7.1.3.60 Released
12-August-2007
This new release is a maintenance release and fixes a number of minor issues, mostly internal. The major changes relate to Vista compatibility:- All Windows and Dialogs adjusted to cater for the larger Vista font
- Help now uses the CHM format when TC is running under Vista
There are many minor issues also fixed. Of note are:
- Shadow Folder addin: now recurses through subfolders correctly
- Documentation updated (old copies were being built into the install)
- Internal links to our website updated to point to the new site
Note: we spent a very long time trying to pin down the issue where TC would occasionally pop to the front of other Windows. We haven't yet fixed this, but have found a workaround:
Basically once you have started Version Manager, switch to another module (Tracker or Builder) then switch back to Version Manager.
Quite why that should work, we don't know. We've been through the entire start process of each module line-by-line, and can't find anything that might explain the issue. Very strange, and we will continue looking into it.

Team Coherence Server 7.2 Released
16-Dec-2005
Quality Software Components has announced the release of Team Coherence Server 7.2.The most significant change in Team Coherence 7.2 is the new Repository structure. The new architecture of the repository dramatically improves reliability, maintainability, and performance.
Each file revision is now stored in its own file. This dramatically increases the capacity of the size of an individual revision, removes the previous limitation on archive size (previous versions stored all revisions for a file in a single archive file), and increases performance.
In addition, the new server is highly tolerant of missing revisions, allowing them to be archived to media and deleted to save disk space.
For a full list of changes, see the change history.

Visual SourceSafe © Import tool Available
19-July-2004
Team Coherence now has a tool to enable the easy importing of Microsoft © Visual SourceSafe ® repositories into Team Coherence, maintaining the version history and applied labels.
One of the main concerns of users switching from VSS to Team Coherence in
the past has been the possibility of losing their historical data,
especially when they uninstall their existing copies of VSS. This is no
longer an issue as it is now possible to import entire repositories, or even
just individual files and projects, from VSS to Team Coherence.
The Import tool is fully supported in the evaluation version of Team
Coherence, so feel free to test it as necessary.

Linux Version Available
31-Dec-2003
Quality Software Components has announced the release of the Linux version of their Team Coherence Server and Command-line tool.
The native Linux version of the Team Coherence server and command-line
tool are now available. This new release will make Team Coherence
cross-platform with both the Windows and Linux versions offering the same
functionality. The Linux versions of the Server and Command-line are native
Linux applications to offer much better performance than the usual Java
offerings of our competitors.
The new version of the server fully supports the Version Manager and Tracker
modules.
