The CodePlex Team just announced that on June 18th they will release an open source project on CodePlex that will allow users to use TortiseSVN to connect to the CodePlex source repositories. I think this will close the Support for Subversion work item that has had the most votes for some time now.

CodePlex is not actually moving to Subversion or offering Subversion as an alternative, instead, this is more like a bridge between TortiseSVN and TFS. This bridge will emulate a Subversion server and convert the request into calls to Team Foundation Server. If I am not mistaken, this also means you should be able to use svn.exe to make the requests as well.

 

I read today over at Dare's blog that the rumor about Google acquiring FeedBurner has been confirmed. I think this is great news. With the way Google offers their services, maybe the premium services will now be available free of charge. I wonder if they will include this service will Google Apps for your domain as well so you can use the service but through your domain with out a fee ( I think there is still a free version of the Apps for your domain ). Well I guess we will see where Google will take this in the near future. Congratulations to FeedBurner.

 

I have been very busy the past couple weeks with shopping for a home and work, which is why the updates and posts have been very limited this month. I hope to have things slow down soon. I have some changes that I should be checking in to CodePlex probably this weekend. After the check in, I will be releasing a final release.

Brad Wilson announced that the CodePlex team released the CodePlex Client (cpc) tool under the Microsoft Permissive License. They also released a utility called tfc.exe that works agains arbitrary TFS servers. When beta 2 of cpc is released it will introduce anonymous access to the source code of any project on the system which is set to be done on the 15th of this month.

There haven't been any builds in the past couple days because I am working on implementing some of the new TaskDialog API that are available in Vista in to the UI. These dialogs would fallback to standard message boxes for older versions of windows that do not support the TaskDialog. I will post some screenshots of them once they are ready.
