Is there any plan to interface the IDE and CVS (or SVN) ?

I thought about this idea a couple of times, but what would that actually offer that another svn client can't ? Just duplicating the features of any standard svn client is too much work for no real benefit imho.

Use TortoiseSVN and you have it intergrated to explorer, so within every PB dialogs (open/save)

CVS must die! use SVN or GIT.

CVS is dead

mercurial for the win!

Mercurial ?
It looks very good, didn't know about it, thank you for the info.

I can imagine, that really a lot of effort is needed to include SVN support (especially with comparing older and newer versions, etc.) to the PureBasic IDE.

So it's clear for me, that no one can compete with e.g. TortoiseSVN (available for free) on Windows, but it's another question on MacOS (and probably Linux) I think. There you haven't such a good and complete package available for free. On MacOS I use the SCPlugin for instance, but I'm not able to compare two source versions...

Overall I think a full integration of SVN would be a very huge task, and probably this time is better spend in other parts of PureBasic. And every "professional" writing big programs will spend the money for 3rd party tools, if he really need full SVN support and can't have it for free (like with TortoiseSVN on Windows)...

+1.

I use it at work (windows) and at home (linux & windows).

TortoiseHG is just fantastic (well, it was until 0.8 came out, there is a work flow issue that I'm waiting to be resolved... until then, 0.7.6 is my version )
