uberSVN Gets Latest Release Channel

We’re very excited to announce the launch of our Latest Release Channel. Anyone signed up to this channel will get a sneak preview of upcoming releases at least a few weeks before the rest of the uberSVN user base. This gives you the opportunity to test new features and see how they fit into your ALM environment before the update becomes widely available. Interested? Check out our blog post for more info.

Members of the Latest Release Channel already have access to an update to uberSVN Chimney House. This update features a list of improvements and new functionality, including:

• Improvements to uberSVN APIs and internal development of uberSVN SDK.
• Further improvements to the way uberSVN handles LDAP and LDAPS.
• New manageAPPS page allows you to see metadata attached to your APP license.
• The latest Apache Subversion 1.7.5 binaries set to active by default.
• .....and more!

Not on the Latest Release Channel? Expect to see this release in the Stable Release Channel within the next two weeks.

uberSVN’s New UI: Have Your Say

At WANdisco we value your feedback, which is why we need your help redesigning some elements of the uberSVN user interface. Head over to SVNForum.org now to read our proposal for a redesigned Users/Teams tab and a redesigned Admin tab. If you’re a registered SVNForum.org user you can join the discussion by posting at the relevant thread (if not already registered, then signing up is quick and easy!) Alternatively, send us your feedback directly.

New Social Captain Alert!

At WANdisco we don’t believe in naff, company enforced fun but we do believe that teams that socialize and have a laugh together also work better together. So, every quarter we elect a new Social Captain who is tasked with organizing team outings and adventures. Taking up the captain’s hat this quarter is Inside Sales Rep, Kevin Southall. Kev is well-known in the WANdisco office for being the life and soul of the party (and being able to talk a glass eye to sleep!) so we’re all excited to see what Kev has in store for us, during his stint as Social Captain.

Have You Taken the 2012 Worldwide Developer Survey Yet?

The 2012 Worldwide Developer Survey will help us to build a picture of the developer’s perspective on software development, and trends in the software change and configuration control management tools market. We already announced that, at the end of the Worldwide Developer Survey we’ll make the results available to everyone who took part but we’ve been so pleased with the response that we’re also entering all respondents into a prize draw. The top prize will be an iPad, with two lucky runners-up receiving a Kindle Fire.

If you haven’t yet completed the survey, make sure you send us your answers before 13th July 2012 to be in with a chance of winning an iPad or Kindle Fire. Good luck!
