For the pass couple months, amazing things have happened to CodeFaces: it has enough features and scalability to go live, it was listed as a demo app on Eclipse RAP’s demo page, good feedback has been heard after people using it, and constant feature requests have been documented and pushed to our backlog. That’s pretty encouraging both to me and to the CodeFaces Team.
In case you haven’t know, CodeFaces is a web-based source control client that targets at easing the pain of navigating codes from a source control system on a browser. It allows connecting to multiple source control systems and structurally navigating codes on a unified web interface.
It’s nice to see a potential community growing and we decided to continue making cool stuff happen. We have already marked down what you asked for: file searching, connecting to private repositories, flat structure on showing the folder trees, etc.. Right now we are on our way to the next CodeFaces release (v1.1.1). This release will be a maintenance one and the main theme is bug fixing, performance tuning and minor feature upgrade. We will soon scope it down in our issue tracker and open to everybody. Do not hesitate to ask us for new features. We greatly appreciate it!
I am more than joyful to announce that CodeFaces 1.1.0 is released! The shiniest point for this release is the addition of the Subversion connector. You are able to connect to any Subversion repository other than GitHub‘s. Besides, you can import multiple projects into the workspace. With the latest version of CodeFaces’ bookmarklet, you can jump to CodeFaces’ neat UI not only from GitHub, but also from Google Code.
Here is the list of the newly added features:
Subversion connector
Multiple projects support in a workspace
Jump to CodeFaces from Google Code with the existing bookmarklet
Project properties dialog to show repository information
Improvement on user experience such as more responsive UI
Most developers have experience in viewing source code on a source control system through browsers. However, these interfaces are very annoying. For example, in Github, you have to clicking back and forth to find the file.
And even in Google code, you can only view one file at a time.
Codefaces allows you to browse Github repository effectively by providing an IDE-like interface. It provides a project explorer and supports multi-tabs browsing. A bookmarklet is also provided to open a Github repository in Codefaces with just one click.
We are joyful to announce that CodeFaces 1.0 beta is released!
CodeFaces is a rich interface made for browsers to explore codes in a source control system. With its friendly UI, you are able to structurally navigate codes from a source control system on your browsers. For the 1.0 release, we support connecting to GitHub‘s public repositories.
