CVS 1.10 Released

CVS 1.10 Released

New version includes bug-fixes and does not rely on external RCS programs

Cyclic Software announces the release of CVS 1.10. Programmers and web authors who version-control their files with CVS can gain the benefit of the most bug-free and easy to install CVS release to date. CVS 1.10 is now available for free Internet download, with availability on CD-ROM to follow.

A few of the differences between CVS 1.9 and 1.10 are:

  • Easier installation. CVS no longer requires external diff, patch, or RCS programs.
  • A number of CVS operations are faster.
  • All of the most commonly reported bugs in CVS 1.9 are fixed, as well as many less-known bugs.
  • Security fixes and features.
  • Miscellaneous new features - see the NEWS file in the CVS source distribution for details.

CVS 1.10 is now available for internet download (see http://www.cyclic.com/ for details on how to get it). Cyclic expects to be soon selling a CD-ROM containing CVS 1.10; we will make a separate announcement once we are shipping the CD-ROM product.

Cyclic Software sells support for CVS, a cross-platform, easy to administer client/server configuration management system. For more information on Cyclic and CVS, see our web page at http://www.cyclic.com.
