ChangeVue 2009 Features
Any professional software developer can tell stories of how a change control solution has changed their lives. But all of these solutions
have one thing in common: They're typically too complicated for an individual developer or administrator, or even for a small workgroup, that
just wants basic source control capabilities without having to deploy a SQL Server instance or other complex components. That's where SAPIEN
ChangeVue 2009 comes in: It's a simplified version control system with very few pre-requisites. It integrates directly with PrimalScript 2009,
and any other SourceSafe compatible editor, or can be used entirely on its own. It follows the basic model of check-in / check-out, and
automatically retains old versions of checked-in files and allows you to review and retrieve older versions at any time. Take a look at some
of ChangeVue's features. You can click on most thumbnail images for a larger view.

they can have simultaneous access to any repository.
