In the current KDE 3.5 release, we added the following new features to Cervisia:

• It's now possible to sort the file view by extension/mimetype (#55864).
• Autocompletion was added to the log message part of the commit dialog (#84909). So far it only suggests the names of the selected files, but it will be extended in the future.
• Added support to exclude files from a commit in the commit dialog (#92938).
• Login/logout support for the sspi protocol (cvsnt) (#98833).

Our first Release Candidate of KDE 3.4 will be available in a few days. So it is a good time to summarize the new features of the upcoming release.

• In the checkout dialog, it's now possible to fetch the existing branch/tag names for a module from the cvs server (#74862).

  
  

• Added support for non-recursive checkouts to the checkout dialog (#74751).

  
  

• Added new item 'Properties' to the context menu. It shows the properties dialog for the selected file.

  
  

• Added new command line option "-annotate".
• The list view in the cvs log dialog now has a search line similar to JuK or KMail.

  
  

• It is now possible to get a notification, when a cvs commit job has finished (#78696).

  
  

• Added new customizable color to highlight files in the file view with status 'Not in CVS' (#95257).

  
  

Since the second beta of KDE 3.3 will be released soon, I thought that it would be time again to summarize the new features of Cervisia in the upcoming release.

• Added support for checkout of a module without the CVS administrative folders. (cvs export)
• Checkout a cvs module under an alias name. (cvs checkout -d)
• Download and honor the CVSROOT/cvsignore file from the cvs server.
• Support for compression levels (-z) above three.
• The entered text in commit dialog and changelog dialog is now spellchecked.
• Added support for 'cvs init' to create a new local repository.
• Added auto-completion to line edits for folder names at several places.
• Added possibility to hide files with status 'Unknown' by extending the current 'Hide Up-To-Date Files' option.
• The diff options used by the "Create Patch Against Repository..." are now configurable
• Added functionality to create a patch between arbitrary revisions to the log dialog.
• Cervisia's UI gained some new icons.
• The context menu for the file view has a new 'Edit With' menu. It's now possible to start a different application for the selected file.
• The handbook experienced a major rework with updates, new screenshots and several added sections. Especially CVS newbies will find it much easier to understand.

This minor release contains the following corrections:

• Don't ignore the CVS_RSH setting during checkout (#80291)
• Handle spaces in the working folder name correctly (#81498)
• Honor option "Hide Non-CVS Files" when opening a branch in the file tree (#58254)

Unfortunately two grave regressions in Cervisia's resolve dialog have been found too late. Please see Bug #82852 and Bug #82853 for more information and patches.

This minor release contains the following corrections:

• Look harder whether a directory really is under CVS control (#78800)
• Don't execute shell scripts when the user used the edit file action (#77440)
