ECMerge 2.2.110: more fixes…

A few days ago, we released a new version of ECMerge.

This version 2.2.110 fixes various bugs, in particular on Mac and Unixes. It improves also patch application for folders and VCS browsing (Mercurial and CVS plugins got fixes).

ECMerge 2.2.109 was released…

We released ECMerge 2.2.109 a few days ago. It fixes bugs, adds scripting (VFS.touch/VFS.set_dates/VFS.attrib/VFS.stat) and adds ability to ignore arbitrary parts of lines.

This is much described in our previous post, but here is an sample on how to ignore a particular column of CSV file as an example:

• let’s build the regular expression for a column:  something as (?:”(?:[^"]|”")*”|[^;]*);? [the notation (?: ) is to not keep track of the group], let’s call this expression C.
• you now have to compose for your particular file the columns, this way CCC(C)CC or (?:C){3}(C)C{2}, ignoring sub-expressions would get rid of the fourth column here. in order to simplify your life, you can omit the last columns, writing that as  (?:C){3}(C)
• you have to build that into the Text ignore panel / Expression to search field of a Text File Type, of course you can use a pattern such as: myfile*.csv or ///myfolder/*.csv to limit the scope of your file type.

Cool, isn’t it?

Have a good week end!

A small delay and more bug fixes…

Happy new year!

During our continuous quality check process, we found few bugs that we fixed these days, we will be able to release 2.2.109 soon.

Have a healthy and prosperous year!

Merry Christmas 2009

We wish you a Merry Christmas 2009.

We did not stop working and a new version of ECMerge is already in preparation.  It will contain a few fixes and a few new features, from which the ability to ignore part of lines matching regular expressions, or fixed columns ranges.

There will be also some more scripting, in particular to manipulate file dates and attributes, it will let you do things such as an automated ‘touch’ or ’set all file dates’ and so on.

Best regards

ECMerge 2.2.108 is there…

We released 2.2.108 build of ECMerge this day.

It fixes eleven bugs (from which a crash on Mac) and changes the “non-recursive folder listing”, it is removed in favor of the exclusion of all sub-folders from the listing (using a “*/” exclusion filter), it basically does the same and simplifies the user interface.

Armel

New 2.2.108 release in the tube…

These days, the release 2.2.108 of ECMerge is in the tube, we already fixed 9 bugs.

The 2.2.108 introduces a change also to folders’ comparisons, we removed the non-recursive mode, which is replaced by a “exclude sub-folders” mode (by adding a “*/” exclude filter), this is somewhat the same behaviour thus non-recursive mode was just a redundant feature. It just simplifies ECMerge.

Bug fixes for the Mac and a few improvements

This week we found and fixed a few bugs in ECMerge (including a crash on Mac version), we will release a 2.2.108 within one or two weeks.

We are also continuing work on the binary differentiation for the next version of ECMerge.

We developped a few macros for ECMerge as well, including a trivial “Duplicate files finder” macro for ECMerge, if you want to test it before its official release please drop us an email.

Fixes for ECMerge 2.2 : build 107 is there

We just released the build 107 of ECMerge 2.2.

This build is a bug fix release, it fixes 12 significant bugs about command line, translations, Xtract, SCC plug-ins and more.

Regards
Armel

ECMerge 2.2.106 is there

Here it is, we released ECMerge 2.2.106 which improves users experience during the test period (no more test serial, no more limits, 30 days of real use), makes usage of folders, sessions and workspaces more practical.

It fixes a few bug and contains the new version of the Mercurial plug-in. It includes two new proxies scripts called the same way as Windows programs merge.exe and guimerge.exe so that portable user-programs can call the programs  the same way on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.

The download is available on our website immediately.

Armel

Updates to Mercurial plug-in…

The plug-in to browse Mercurial repositories was updated, it now handles more cases correctly.

The idea behind these plug-ins is that you can thus compare a specific tag or revision in your Mercurial repository with your local hard drive, an FTP site but as well with a Visual Source Safe, a SubVersion or whichever other SCC that ECMerge supports (see SCC Tool Dialog Box).

This new plug-in version is included in the upcoming 2.2.106 version.

Have a good week
