phpVcs / News: Recent posts

With rel. 0.0.7 phpVcs supports two new remote methods:
1) pwd: retrieve the path to a given inode into the phpVcs virtual fs
2) snap: creates a snapshot of a given repository tree and send it to the client

A new developer, Doichy, joined this project.
Doichy is actually focused on high-level design of the java GUI; great news will come from this guy!

Finallly a portal is installed for this project, so that phpVcs community can share articles, ideas, suggestions to improve the product.
At http://phpvcs.sourceforge.net/ instructions are published to connect to the DEMO repository (now updated at 0.0.5).

With release 0.0.5 the client architecture is refactored.
A new layer is introduced to encapsulate xml-rpc calls into a library, so that front-ends only implements controls and views and business logic is driven by centralized libs.
This is useful for the PHP language, since we yet have two front-ends (CLI and GTK) that uses the library; for the Java Client a library can be done too, but I actually suspended the development of Java front-end (if anyone want to proceed is welcome!)

A public phpVcs demo repository is now avaible at the address http://phpvcs.sourceforge.net:80/demo/server.php .
Access is public (no password required), so there is no guarantee that on contained files... you're advised!
This installation is only intended to test phpVcs without perform a server installation; simply download the latest release and use the php-cli client (the only working at this moment...) pointing to phpvcs.sourceforge.net:80/demo/server.php .

And so, a lot of things now works into the GTK front-end too...
Download now the latest release, it's really great!

Major changes in the CLI front-end, now support for server remote methods is full.
Some improvement into navigation commands.
Skeleton of GTK front-end is now working.
No news for java front-end (I don't like Java at all, so I'm waiting for someone's help...).
