Future of AnkhSVN (Subversion for Visual Studio)
AnkhSVN 2.0 is now out with the majority of these features making the cut!
Now that AnkhSVN 1.0.3 is out with support for Visual Studio 2008 we can discuss our future plans for AnkhSVN.
We have moved over to openCollabNet and welcomed Jeremy Whitlock and Bert Huijben to the team!
Our preliminary road-map for AnkhSVN 2.0 is:
- Improve user experience
- Refine windows, options and icons
- Localize dialogs and messages
- Support customization of icons & menus
- Develop interactive log window
- Add keyboard support (short cuts & tab order)
- Extend integration
- Subversion 1.5 branch & merge tracking
- Subversion property editing
- Visual Studio 2005/2008 source provider model for better integration
- Foster developer participation
- Simplify build environment with MSBuild
- Reduce code-base with SharpSvn
- Switch Visual Studio API from automation to source control
- Provide source-on-demand using Sourceserver
Switching the provider model means we have to drop Visual Studio 2003 support for 2.0 but means we get to use .NET 2.0+ features as well as a much faster and more robust mechanism for extending Visual Studio.
The timetable is quite aggressive and I’m hoping we can get quick regular builds out for people to try.
