Syncro Soft (http://www.syncrosvnclient.com), the producer of Syncro SVN Client, has announced the immediate availability of version 6.1 of its Subversion (SVN) client.

Version 6.1 improves the information presented in the Working Copy view and delivers better performance of the SVN related tasks and compare operations. You can now choose to ignore “svn:externals” definitions when exporting or checking out from repository or when updating resources in the working copy.

All Working Copy view modes contextual menus have the same content and structure in SVC client 6.1. They’re dynamically built and display only the actions which can be applied for the selected resources.

Information about the resources file type is presented in the Working Copy area in a new column, which allows you to sort the resources according to the file extension. The external and switched resources are marked consistently in all working copy presentation modes. Resources in a real conflict state are marked differently than those in pseudo-conflict state for an easier identification.

The application status bar in version 1.6 presents graphical hints corresponding to different working copy options. For example, you can determine if the ignored/deleted resources are being presented or not in the working copy or if the externals definitions are processed.

All compare algorithms were improved, they use less memory and need a shorter amount of time to perform compare operations. The Diff Editor presents the names of the last authors who committed the compared files.

Also, the SVNKit library was updated to version 1.3.3, which contains various bug fixes and performance improvements.

Syncro SVN Client with a one-year maintenance pack costs US$59. A site license with a one-year maintenance pack costs $2,970. Volume discount rates are available starting with five licenses. Syncro SVN Client can be run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris.
