We haven’t set a date for the next release of Code Crusader, but I just updated the feature list, and it’s growing nicely.

Xinerama

I finally got a chance to try out a dual-monitor Linux machine using Xinerama. With a bit of help from sample source in xscreensaver, I managed to fix JX so modal dialogs are not sliced down the middle by the space between monitors. The next release of Code Crusader and Code Medic will benefit from this.

Running remotely over SSH

If you are having trouble running Code Crusader or Code Medic over SSH, try using the -Y option. This was recently added, and the latest versions of SSH require it to successfully tunnel X connections.

CVS support in Code Crusader

Administrator — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 04:14:05 +0000

I finally found the time to finish implementing the new CVS tab in the “Compare files” dialog. It provides the same options as cvs diff. For a single file, the results are displayed the usual way. For a directory, it currently displays the raw output of cvs diff. Ideally, it would display this in a list so you could double click to view the details for any particular file, but that will have to wait for a later release.

We’re planning to move to Subversion soon. Support for svn diff will surely follow quickly.

Progress on Code Crusader

Administrator — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 05:34:28 +0000

Ever since I started using CVS, I’ve been kicking myself for several old design choices:

Putting too much junk in the .jcc file
Not tracking whether or not the .jcc file really needs to be saved
Not making the .jcc file line based so I can get something useful out of CVS diff

Over Thanksgiving, I finally got around to cleaning this up. The .jcc file is now line based, and all the local settings, like window positions, have now been moved to a new .jup file. This clears the way for tracking whether or not the .jcc file needs to be saved — my next weekend project — which in turn will tell me whether or not I really need to check it out from CVS. (I always configure CVS so I only get write permission after I run cvs edit. This makes it easy to find the files that I have changed, especially since Code Crusader now displays the write permission in the project window! )

*.jup can now be added to .cvsignore, just like *.jst. They are both tied to the specific machine on which the code is stored.
