the coolest interface to (Sub)version control
The revision graph is a nice way to get a quick overview of your project. However you can not share the graph with other people unless you save it as an image and pass the image on.
If the revision graph is small, then saving the graph as a png image will do just fine. But as with all images, a png does not scale very well. And if the revision graph is already big the resulting image file can get quite big as well. It can even get too big to show.
A new version of CommitMonitor is available. This new version contains a few bugfixes and enhancements.
We're proud to announce that TortoiseSVN 1.7.6 has been released. It is linked against Subversion 1.7.4
This time a lot of bugs have been fixed both in TortoiseSVN and the underlying SVN library.
We recommend that you update to this version as soon as possible. You can get it from our download page.
We're proud to announce that TortoiseSVN 1.7.4 has been released. It is linked against Subversion 1.7.2
Due to a specific in TortoiseSVN 1.7.2 which lead to various different problems we're releasing this version out of sync with SVN releases.
We recommend that you update to this version as soon as possible. You can get it from our download page.
We're proud to announce that TortoiseSVN 1.7.1 has been released. It is linked against Subversion 1.7.1
It's only been a few days since we released 1.7.0, but in this time we've fixed a lot of bugs. Both in TortoiseSVN and the underlying SVN library.
We recommend that you update to this version as soon as possible. You can get it from our download page.
We're proud to announce that TortoiseSVN 1.7 has been released. It is linked against Subversion 1.7
It's been two and a half year, 935 days to be exact since version 1.6 was released. The TortoiseSVN repository counts 6213 commits since then, which results in about 6 commits per day.
With that many changes done to TortoiseSVN alone, and much more to the Subversion core itself you can expect a lot of improvements. We've listed the most obvious and visible improvements in the release notes.
Please read those thoroughly before you upgrade to TortoiseSVN 1.7 to avoid any surprises.
Together with TortoiseSVN 1.7, we also released new versions of CommitMonitor and SVNProtocolHandler.

Windows 8 (or whatever its name will be when it's released) will have a new feature where the Aero colors can be automatically adjusted according to the selected wallpaper.
This seems to be a nice feature, and there's even a tool available that offers that feature for Windows 7: Aura.
But there are some things about Aura that bother me, so I hacked together my own tool which offers that feature.
Unlike Aura, AAClr is written in plain C++ and doesn't use the .NET framework. For tools that are supposed to be started automatically on logon, this ensures that the whole startup time doesn't increase by several seconds.
AAClr also detects changes in wallpapers by catching events from the system and doesn't use timers that access the wallpaper file several times a second (like Aura does). That means that AAClr is idle most of the time and only wakes up when necessary.
And about resource usage: AAClr uses less than 2MB of private bytes - I think that's not too much.
The link to the download can be found on the project page.
There's now a book available about TortoiseSVN. Of course, there are books about Subversion which mention TortoiseSVN. But this is (I think) the first book about TortoiseSVN.
Full disclosure: I was asked to review the book, which I did. And I'm mentioned as a reviewer in the book! So I had to write something about it here since I was never mentioned in a book before :).
read my full post about this book.
