SoftBench 6.90 Release Notes

What’s in This Version

Chapter 16

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

development teams. Unlike other conﬁguration management systems, SoftBench CM

does not require 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.

— No Licensing: 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. There are

independent software vendors (ISVs) who provide products that work on top of

unlicensed software applications, keeping track of concurrent users and enforcing

license limits.

For convenience, a list of several ISVs and their products is provided in this section.

HP does not endorse or support any of the products from the following ISVs:

• FLEXwrap from GLOBEtrotter Software - www.globetrotter.com

• SentinelTrack from Rainbow Technologies (SentinelTrack was previously

LicenseTrack from Wyatt River Software - Rainbow Technologies purchased

Wyatt in March 1998) - www.rainbow.com

• KeyServer from Sassafras Software - www.sassafras.com

— Recursive Makeﬁle Generation: 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 functionality of

SoftBench 6.X Project Model is completely different from the way previous versions of

SoftBench organized and interacted with development activities. Do not correlate or

compare SoftBench 6.X with SoftBench 5.X or older versions.
