Release Notes For SoftBench 6.97

What Is in This Version

Chapter 1 5

— SoftBench CM: SoftBench CM is ideal for managing geographically dispersed

development teams. Unlike other conﬁguration management systems, SoftBench CM

requires no additional infrastructure and there is no need for a dedicated

conﬁguration management administrator. SoftBench CM is bundled with both C and

C++ SoftBench.

— Integrated XEmacs Editor: SoftBench 6.x uses XEmacs as its default source code

editor. XEmacs provides the latest capabilities necessary for effective editing, such as

language-sensitive color coding and auto-indenting.

— Licensing Not Required: Embedded license management (FLEXlm) has been

removed from SoftBench 6.30 and later. In some cases (internal software audits),

SoftBench customers may require a solution for tracking the concurrent usage. The

following is a list of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who provide products that

enforce license limits by keeping track of unlicensed products and concurrent users.

HP in no way endorses or supports any of the products from these ISVs:

• FLEXwrap from GLOBEtrotter Software. For more details, refer

http://www.globetrotter.com.

• SentinelTrack from Rainbow Technologies (SentinelTrack was peviously a product

of Wyatt River Software called LicenseTrack. Rainbow Technologies bought Wyatt

in March 1998). For more details, refer http://www.rainbow.com.

• KeyServer from Sassafras Software. For more details, refer

http://www.sassafras.com.

— Recursive Makeﬁle Generation Available: The Generate Makefile dialog box

supports a recursive build or “nightly” build to generate Makeﬁles for an entire

hierarchy of projects.

• Compatibility of SoftBench 6.x with Previous Versions: The SoftBench 6.x Project

Model is a complete departure from the way the previous versions of SoftBench organized

and interacted with development activities. Do not mix and match SoftBench 6.x with

SoftBench 5.X or older versions.
