CVSNT 2.5.04 (Zen) Build 3510 (stable)
You can download this release from:
http://march-hare.com/cvspro/
The initial release of CVSNT 2.5.04 did not include install packages for PowerPC Mac and HPUX PA-RISC and Itanium/Integrity. Also many people running Windows with incorrectly configured DNS experienced problems with the initial release. This update includes a few patches from 2.5.05 to resolve this issue, and is also compiled with the latest Visual Studio .NET 2003 patches.
Fixed/New in this release:
-----------------------------
For a complete description see the ChangeLog in the source tree.
* 5647 Update for Windows, Mac and HPUX
includes: 5632, 5445, 5622 and 5353
As of today - when you purchase CVS Suite you now also get a complimentary copy of the CVSNT Community Edition 2.5.04 with the advertising message disabled by default. If you have 50 staff using CVSNT we recommend that you purchase 50 CVS Suite licenses so you can use the quality tested commercial build - but if you have less budget then you can purchase less licenses then download and use the non-advertising CVSNT 2.5.04 build instead. We will not provide any commercial support or commercial documentation for CVSNT 2.5.04.
We will be releasing CVSNT 2.5.05 and CVS Suite 2009 in the next couple of months, and beta versions will start appearing very soon:
* CVSNT 2.5.05 will use the latest libraries and compilers and be tested on the latest operating systems - we will continue to provide binary download packages for Windows XP/Vista/W7 and RHEL5
* CVS Suite 2009 will provide a new high performance server and we will provide evaluation copies for both the server and client for all supported platforms except AS/400
Why upgrade to 2.5.04?
* multi-site: supports multiple 'write through' repositories
* better WAN performance with large files
* improved rename, improved branch/tag performance in large repo's
* tested on xp/vista and server 2003/2008 both x32 and x64
* improved audit
* all future bug fixes will be applied to this release
