CVL is a configuration management software for managing multiple versions of files in a team. It ensures collaboration and security by preventing simultaneous updates to a file. The tool tracks changes, merges code, and verifies code quality.
CVL is designed to help you manage different versions of resources, including source code, projects, documents, etc. It's packed with some key features that make it stand out from the crowd, including an easy-to-use interface, recursively computed directory status, interface to FileMerge.app to resolve merges and conflicts, multiple repositories, easy access to local and remote repositories, standalone application, and more.
The software also offers synchronization with ProjectBuilder (not yet available for MacOS X), and it's compatible with CVS 1.7 or greater. However, it's recommended to use v1.10 due to bug fixes.
One of the best things about CVL is that it doesn't have any proprietary extensions. All its repositories, work areas, and administration are 100% CVS compatible. Additionally, the source code is available, which is a great feature for advanced users.
In the latest release of the software, CVL has made some improvements, including Universal Binary support. To use it, you'll need to download and install CVS 1.7 or greater on your system, along with MacOS X, Mac OS X Server (Rhapsody), OPENSTEP 4.1 or 4.2 Mach (i386, m68k, Sparc), Windows with OPENSTEP 4.2 Enterprise, or Windows with WebObjects 4.x.
Overall, if you're looking for a powerful and reliable version and configuration management tool with an easy-to-use interface, CVL is a solid choice to consider. It's packed with plenty of features, compatible with various systems, and offers excellent service to other applications.
