BiKeeper 4.2 Updates Industry-Leading Engineering Asset Management Tools, Enhances User Experience on Windows with Windows Explorer Shell Extension
Campbell, CA, October 3 2008 -- BitMover, Inc., the leader in scalable
distributed source code management, today announced the release of
BitKeeper 4.2, adding a range of features and functionality to its
powerful source code management tool suite. The highlight of version
4.2 is BitKeeper Shellx, the second version of an extension that lets
Windows users leverage the familiar Windows Explorer Interface to browse
and control BitKeeper repositories.
BitKeeper Shell Extension for Windows Explorer
BitKeeper shell extension for Windows Explorer lets Windows users interact
with the BitKeeper environment using the familiar Windows Explorer, the
file system browser native to Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. The Bitkeeper
Shell Extensions enables developers and integrators to browse and control
BitKeeper repositories through the standard Windows Explorer interface
by providing visual feedback and context-sensitive menu integration for
a completely interactive graphical interface to BitKeeper's award-winning
SCM capabilities.
Cross platform support is more than just offering core functionality across Linux, UNIX, MacOS and Windows,
commented Larry McVoy, BitMover CEO.
Developers and their projects live and breathe on real-world
workstations and adapt their practices and workflows to those
environments. BitKeeper Shellx for Windows Explorer is just one example of
how BitMover manages large and rapidly changing distributed code and other
IP, across diverse and distant systems without compromising ease of use.
BitKeeper 4.2 also offers developers and integrators a range of
incremental enhancements and bug fixes in response to user input,
continuing its run as the most bug-free, feature-rich SCM tool available
on the market. Complete backward compatibility preserves legacy
investment and makes upgrading to version 4.2 nearly transparent.

all supported platforms through the company's worldwide sales channels.
