Version Control (Magic xpi 4.1)
Magic xpi provides connectivity to any third-party Version Control product that uses the SCC (Source Code Control) API V1.01, such as the Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) and PVCS products. This gives the following functionality:
-
Save versions – You can save versions of your project and access any of the versions at a later date. This is helpful when you want to work in a multi-developer environment. You can also use the Version Control feature as a single developer to keep track and have access to the project's versions.
-
Protect your files – To edit a file, you first need to check out the file. This protects the source files from being accidentally overwritten by another user.
-
Team development – You can develop your project in a multi-developer environment. Each developer works on their own copy of the project's source files and is responsible for synchronizing their own copy with the centrally located version.
-
Track changes – You can compare various versions that you have saved.
-
Trace users – You can easily see who has edited a version.
You can access Version Control features from several places in the Magic xpi Studio:
