Perforce Applauds Apple’s Tool Integration,
Giving Xcode Developers Powerful Version Control

Perforce is sole commercial SCM chosen for Xcode Integration

Alameda, Calif., November 3, 2003 — Perforce Software today announced the
integration of its fast Software Configuration Management (SCM) system
with Xcode, Apple’s newest and most powerful set of development tools. Now
Apple developers can be more productive by seamlessly accessing the
Perforce source control system directly from their Xcode development
environment.

=93The push for Apple to implement this integration came from the Mac
community,=94 said Christopher Seiwald, founder and chief technology officer
of Perforce Software. “And, we’re happy for the opportunity to show
leading edge Macintosh developers the leading edge of SCM.”

Specific SCM features available in this integration include: check-in and
check-out; file comparison via either the built-in Apple Filemerge tool or
UNIX diff; file history; and updates to new and old versions. One
important feature, conflict resolution with diff markers, advances
concurrent development allowing developers to work on the same file at the
same time, and then resolving conflicting entries at check in.
