Release Notes For SoftBench 8.05
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 8.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.
For your convenience, a list of several ISVs and their products is provided below. HP
in no way endorses or supports any of the products from these ISVs.
• FLEXwrap from GLOBEtrotter Software. For more details, refer

• 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 htpp://www.rainbow.com.
• KeyServer from Sassafras Software. For more details, refer

— 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.
