unless both clients and server are updated. As is our standard policy,
compatibility is preserved for non-synchronous update of the server and
clients.

in the project, and when operating over a WAN.
- Clients and Server: Increase maximum revision size from

performance when keyword expansion is off (which is the default for binary
files).

Browser's Workspace View. Only show missing files which are in the working
set.

snapshots wide.
- Server: Fix activityLog appending problem on Windows.

is modified to update keywords on check in, is set to wrong date if on FAT32
file system.

15,000) number of differences between snapshots.
- Server: Fix server crash during snapshot compare when more than
about 1100 revisions separate the branch revisions of a file.
- Server: Fix rare database error on certain transactions
following a transaction abort.
- GUI: Improve performance displaying a very large number of
differences between snapshots.
Minor update to fix problems in the 1.71 release:

Views. Operations affected are drag and drop check in, check out and rename.
Rename within the tree view is not affected.

group for a user. The most recently created user or group is the one
omitted.

heuristics.
Performance and usability summarize the 1.71 release. Database
transaction, WAN, and file checkin and import performance are all improved
significantly. The process of merging files between snapshots is now also
streamlined with common problems avoided or warned about with improved
messages.
- GUI: Enable WB button to open Workspace Manager when no
Workspace Browser open.

Release 1.67 fixes a number of minor problems:
- GUI 1.67.1: Fix crash when opening a project without a
"Current" snapshot.
- Windows: Fix file modification time inconsistency problem on
Windows. In many cases, Windows returns, by design, file modification times
that are adjusted for time zone and day-light savings time. This provides a
small, but non-zero chance that a modified file might not be recognized as such
by SnapshotCM. The fix is to avoid the time-adjusting functions and use the
file times directly. Unfortunately, the unix emulation routines do not do that
automatically. This change is likely to cause many workspace files to
initially appear to be out-of-date. Use workspace update to automatically
figure out which files are really up-to-date and which are not (it will do
background check out and compares, so may take a while).
- GUI: Update Out-of-date files view filter to show files needing
merge. Update Out-of-date and Needing Action filters to show pending renames
and deletes. Also add specific pending rename and pending delete icons to the
Workspace View actions column.
- Windows: Include an SCCDisable.reg file to disable SCC
integration. Complements the SnapshotCM.reg file to enable it.
- Command-line: Add wset -A option to directly set
the active revision of a file. Requires 1.66 or newer server.
- Command-line: Enable support for wls -dR and
wset -dR option pairings.
- Command-line: Fix workspace root directory mode setting on
update.
- Command-line: Fix wmap update problem that
prevents changing the mapped snapshot.
Release 1.66 (Windows only release) adds workspace behavior
customizations and another workspace view filter.
- GUI: Add View Files Needing Action filter to
workspace browser.
- GUI: Add workspace option to ignore saved recursive flag on
startup, to improve startup performance.
- GUI: Add workspace option to disable file-system change
triggered automatic workspace updates, for better operation over a slow
network.

item referenced by a snapshot.

and location options dialog and change defaults.
- GUI: Workspace file state icons no longer affected by selection

tool configuration.

2 MB, after which leading lines will now be discarded to make room, and
slightly improve scrolling performance.
