True Version Control for Servoy

[jbader]

The Servoy Developer product is a great product with many features that make developing Servoy quick and easy. But sometimes, I would really like the option to develop my solution outside of Servoy Developer, and place my form/global methods, and calcs under true version control.

I have heard that a VCS may be available in Servoy 4, but would that VCS support all the usual VCS features, and could methods and calcs be edited using my favorite local editor I am unsure?

Is there any development track for allowing developers to develop Servoy outside of the Servoy Developer tool?

Solutions in servoy 4 will be stored in plain-text files to support your favorite version control system with all the features that comes with it.
It will also be possible to stay repository-based.

The files will be designed to work with the new developer, but you can edit them with a text-editor as well.

Hello and thanks for the reply. By "Solutions" do you mean form and global methods, and calculations? Is the 4.0 feature list/roadmap published anywhere?

About the VCS features, you can look through the below thread.

Hope it helps.

From that thread it sounds like version control fx's will be supported through the multideveloper framework, which last time I checked is 5K with 2K or so recurring fees! Will Servoy VCS require a multideveloper license in 4 to support version control features?

Anyone know...?
