Release Highlights

The up-coming SnapshotCM 1.74 release makes it easier to see information about a snapshot, automatically saves space by compressing large files in the server, improves file recovery, and more. Look for release 1.74 later in June.

Here are a few key features of the up-coming release:

• Tool tips: The Project Browser graph now shows snapshot descriptions in a tool tip, making quickly scanning the graph for snapshot details as easy as moving your mouse.
• File storage compression in the server automatically does background compression on large files in the archive. Existing as well as new large files will be compressed automatically. Smaller files with multiple versions are already delta compressed. Of further benefit, compressed files are streamed directly to the client, providing great WAN performance with less server loading.
• Guaranteed undelete delays cleanup after a file delete so that the delete can be reversed. No file will ever be removed if it has an active reference from any snapshot. Guaranteed undelete affects what happens when the last active reference to a file is removed and guaranteed recoverability for at least a week.
• Smaller changes include adding a recent workspaces menu list, remembering the last selected project in the Project Manager, and using the target workspace state and locks to avoid repeated merges during a copy between snapshots.

Once the release is finalized, the SnapshotCM Change List will be updated with a complete list of changes.
