V-v-v-v-versions!
Sofa so good! A couple of mac software developers in my opinon are well ahead of the curve when it comes to usability and interface design. Panic, Sofa and Delicious Monster make the kind of software that is so good looking, you actually feel sexier when using it. One application I have been waiting for desperately is Sofa’s Versions. This new application is a Subversion client built for the rest of us. The perfect partner for online repositories like Beanstalk, or my personal choice Springloops. I have just installed the new beta, and I have to say, if works even half as well as it looks, then we are all onto a winner!
Update: I have had problems using Versions with Springloops as they use https:// connections for security. The kind people at Springloops suggest this fix.
Turns out that versions is using the command line svn client to communicate with repositories. So you need to mark the SSL certificate as trusted in the command line client and then versions will work automatically. To do that, fire up a terminal window and just list the contents of your repository:
svn list https://xxxxx.springloops.com/source/xxxxxxxThat should work on Leopard, but if you are on Tiger you’ll need to install the SVN client manually. Check out this handy blog post for more information on how to do that.
