Perforce Software Announces New Version of Perforce

Perforce Software has announced the upcoming availability of the newest version of Perforce, the Fast Software Configuration Management (SCM) System. Release 2006.2 includes an enhanced version of the Perforce Server and new features to several client tools.

Perforce SCM is a tool that versions and manages source code and digital assets for enterprises large and small.

Server highlights in Perforce 2006.2 include:
- Improved branching performance: the check-in time for large branch operations has been significantly improved by reducing the number of database and journal file updates.
- Automatic labels: New automatic labels are fast and efficient to apply and are effective as aliases for 'changelists' or groups of files that encapsulate sets of changes.
- More administrative control: Administrators now have more tools to ensure concurrency at peak loads.
- File size calculation: Users can see in advance how much space a collection of files will occupy on a local disk.

Perforce 2006.2 also features enhanced versions of the following client tools: The Perforce Windows Client, The Perforce Web Client, The Perforce Plug-in for Windows Explorer and The Perforce FTP Plug-in.
