SoftSystems is happy to introduce VersionMaster 1.2, the project oriented
version control program for Microsoft Windows. It uses a new approach to
version control, so now controlling the files and projects is easy and
efficient. VersionMaster was specially written for complex Windows
development environments. It manages all project resources - source code,
documentation, graphics images, spreadsheets, even binary files. It
integrates well with all windows applications, and lunching a different
application for each file is as easy as clicking on a button.

The brief description of main VersionMaster features follows.

1. VersionMaster keeps track of modifications made to the source files, the
user who made the changes, time, date and the description of the updates.

2. It provides full control and serial access to the files. It prevents
multiple developers from accessing the file at the same time.

3. It allows to retrieve and view the source code or any information
related to past versions of a file. It enables comparison of any two
revisions of a file.

4. The changes made in the current file revision can be rolled back.

5. A different Windows application (such as editor, database, spreadsheet)
can be associated with the file. This application is lunched when the file
is viewed or edited.

6. VersionMaster supports code reusing and file sharing. A module can be
included in more then one project. Updates made to the shared file are
automatically propagated to all projects.

7. Source files are functionally grouped into projects and VersionMaster
provides a set of utilities to track the development of the entire
project. To track project development, project revisions with a text
description for each version can be created.

9. VersionMaster enables creating a snapshot of any project revision. The
appropriate version of all files included in the selected project revision
is copied to a separate directory.

10. The complete project history is created. All updates made to source
files and projects are recorded.

11. VersionMaster provides report generating functions for files and
projects.

12. VersionMaster includes full screen cross-reference tool, which provides
string searching capabilities in the context of a project.

13. VersionMaster introduces different class of users; each account can be
protected by a password. It also enforces project and file ownership, so
the source can only be changed by user who owns it.

14. It takes full advantage of Microsoft Windows environment. Functions
related to projects, modules or configuration can be performed at the same
time in different windows. They are accessed by floating tool-bar.

15. The user interface is very intuitive. Each function is represented by a
button, so there is no need for multilevel menus. There is no confusion
which function should be used at the given level, as only buttons
corresponding to valid functions are displayed.
