| Makers of Subversion MultiSite Set to Contribute Server-Side Java APIs and New Obliterate Feature. San Ramon, CA October 28, 2009 - WANdisco, a leading provider of infrastructure software for replication, scalability & high availability, today will present 2 new initiatives for the Subversion open source project at SubConf 2009. These new efforts, sponsored by WANdisco, will result in new features, SubversionJ and Obliterate, which will be contributed to the Subversion open source project under the same Apache open source license currently used by the project. The first initiative, SubversionJ, or SVNJ, will provide a rich server-side JAVA API that will leverage Subversion’s established code base written in the C programming language. This will allow the Subversion community to reach out to millions of JAVA developers and enable the same expansion and enrichment of Subversion functionality on the server-side that has been seen on the client-side due to the rich set of APIs for JAVA, Python and Perl that are available. SubversionJ’s goals are to:
Now that Subversion has experienced wide adoption by large corporate development organizations that have used similar features with other version control systems, Obliterate is becoming a hard requirement. In order to provide this new feature and at the same time respect the principles underlying Subversion’s design, Obliterate will include comprehensive audit and recovery capabilities to ensure that history is always available. “These new initiatives, along with the recently announced addition of core Subversion developers to WANdisco’s team, further demonstrates our commitment to the Subversion project,” said David Richards, President and CEO of WANdisco. “We have taken feedback from some of our larger Subversion implementations, that run into tens-of-thousands of users, and we discovered that these enhancements were absolutely essential.” Recent News and Resources: News release: WANdisco to Play Key Role on Subversion Open Source Project: http://www.wandisco.com/php/pr.php?prdate=2009-10-28 WANdisco at SubConf 2009: http://2009.subconf.de/vortraege/wandisco/ WANdisco Subversion MultiSite: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/multisite/ Free Download: Subversion MultiSite: http://www.wandisco.com/download/subversion/multisite/ Free Webinar: Weekly WANdisco demo: http://www.wandisco.com/php/weekly.php News release: WANdisco Announces New Enterprise Features for Subversion Solutions: http://www.wandisco.com/php/pr.php?prdate=2009-10-15 About WANdisco WANdisco is a leading provider of distributed software development solutions.
