GForge 4.0 is out

Timothy Perdue announced the release of version 4.0 of the open-source CDE (Collaborative Development Environment) GForge. Version 4.0 introduced several major changes and new features.

• Role-based access controls
• cvs-GForge integration
• Reporting
• WebDAV
• Web Services
• SCM Refactoring

There are more changes and new features, but my favorite is the change to access control, which lets you define individual roles in the system. That will make it possible to manage the various groups in a development team effectively. If you haven’t heard of GForge, my earlier post may be useful: GForge — Managing software projects.
