Release Notes

Today we’re releasing Cornerstone 1.5 after 8 months of development and 2 months of beta testing. It’s a huge release containing numerous new features and tons of smaller improvements and refinements.

We’ve listened very carefully to input from our users since 1.1 was released and have worked hard to make Cornerstone both more powerful and easier to use. We’ve also added support for Subversion 1.6 and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

The improvements made to 1.5 are listed in detail in the release notes, but the major additions are:

1. Improved User Interface

   Cornerstone’s user interface was redesigned to make navigation more consistent and intuitive. The new screen-based interface also makes far better use of available screen space.

2. New Log View

   The new log view compliments the existing timeline view by displaying a project’s log in a form similar to the output of svn‘s log command.

3. New Commit View

   We have made big improvements to the commit view: it’s now non-modal, files can be included and excluded, and most important of all, files can be compared right in the commit view.

4. New Transcript View

   The new transcript view provides progress information on operations such as updates and commits.

5. New Externals Editor

   1.5 now includes support for editing svn:externals properties in the form of a new dedicated externals editor.

6. New Preference Pane for Subversion Configuration

   The most commonly-used Subversion configuration options can now be configured within Cornerstone. Supported options include global ignores, auto properties and HTTP proxy settings.

We believe that these improvements combine to make this a substantial release, so much so that we decided it deserved the jump to version 1.5.

1.5 is a free upgrade for all 1.0 and 1.1 license holders and is available for immediate download.
