Hmm, would it be too far fetched to bring in details about the commit on Recent Activity board?

Maybe instead of the vague "<REPO> repository has been updated", what about something like: "Matt R has made a revision to <REPO>: <REVISION_NUMBER>", then below that, wrapped in a <pre>, show the commit log.

I think overall, that'd be a bit more useful to see at a glance. Especially when a bunch of commits are placed in a row, it begins to look like a mess, and you don't really have a sense of what's going on.

I'm have a SmallBiz license but am interested in upgrading now that there is invoicing support. Are there any screenshots or a video demo of the new invoicing feature? I would like to see it in action before upgrading.

Right now I'm using Tempo for time tracking and Blinksale for invoicing. Since I could do both with the corporate version of activeCollab I will probably upgrade. However, I would really like to see how activeCollab's time tracking works with the invoicing module.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thank you for considering to upgrade to Corporate release. activeCollab 2.2 is a beta release so we do not have much material that promotes it (it would be misleading to promote unstable features).

If you are still interested to learn more, there is an old article in the blog that briefly describes invoicing module. We added a couple of features based on the private beta feedback and polished the module a bit since than.

Our recommendation would be to wait for final release. Than you'll be able to test invoicing feature and see if it works for you. We do not have plans to offer any type of demo until than, but anyone with valid Corporate license can download the beta and try it out.

Installed and tested SVN module a bit.

Found several issues:

* incorrect SQL queries when there special symbols (like "'" ) in SVN paths

* problems with cyrillic letters inside source files listings (they look totally broken)

* sometimes when specifiyng a folder as a repository root for a project (say https://svn/repository/products/someproduct) it says that there are no commits and everything is ok but repository browser says it needs to update the repository. Actually, I found only several folders where update really work and currently I've no idea why it works for one folder and don't work for another (case paths to folders have only latin symbols in this case).

So I'm waiting for more stable version and ready to help with testing. SVN integration is really very cool feature - one which we'll immediately use.

Hi, I found a problem with the new Source module.

Our SVN repositories are hosted on our in-house servers using self-signed certificate. When I tried to update one of them, the update failed with message: certificate not trusted.

Maybe you can add the option to trust the certificate, just like the command-line client.

Can you comment more on exactly what the Source module does? Through the comments I see something about updating... but why would it update?

Anyways, an actual overview of WHAT the module does would be appreciated.

The source module lets us link multiple SVN repositories to a Project.

So from this module, for each SVN repository, you can see the latest revision, revision logs, complete ticket from SVN commit comment, etc..

Update : activeCollab uses command line client to fetch the latest SVN repository status and update the pages.

We all use tortoisesvn, so its actually quite easy to see the latest updates for a repo...

Does it link completed tasks to tickets, etc... if specified in the log message or anything like that? Or is it very isolated, and sort of just a simple viewer for the repo?
