3.1 Press Release:

Spectrum announces availability of its latest SpectrumSCM 3.1 Release.
Atlanta - September 14th, 2009: Atlanta based Spectrum Software, Inc., a
systems designer and developer of
software productivity tools, announced today the immediate availability of
the latest SpectrumSCM 3.1 release
of its flagship process-centric, full-featured, enterprise class, Unified
Source Configuration
Management/Change Management product. This release adds several new features
to the already rich set of
SCM functionalities available for all levels of users of SpectrumSCM. This
release includes maintenance fixes,
and new features/enhancements, including a number of enhancements requested
by our current customers as
part of our wish list initiative.
SpectrumSCM is the first truly integrated, process centric, platform
independent, full-featured (Version Control,
Issue/Defect Tracking, Change Management, Process Management, Workflow,
Release Management, Parallel
Development) Source Configuration Management system in the market place.
SpectrumSCM brings in the best
practices for automation of Project lifecycle processes through unified
configuration management and
change management by providing full CM functionality with one truly
integrated SCM system and not as a
suite of bundled applications. SpectrumSCM makes it efficient to undertake
comprehensive source
configuration and change management for any 'e-Asset' (software code, text,
binaries, engineering drawings,
images, web pages, documents, excel, powerpoints, contracts, proposals,
training docs, curriculum material,
SAS program files etc.), from origination through delivery, maintenance, and
support.
SpectrumSCM Version 3.1 enhancements include:
+ Extract by time period: Since SpectrumSCM is a task-based system, in
general the extractions of files
and their appropriate versions are performed through the
task/change-request. However, under a couple of
(customer requested) scenarios it is most useful to be able to extract by
time.
i. What has changed since last week/month
ii. What was the state of the repository/files last week/month.
A time based extraction gives the user the capability to specify the time
period of interest and only the
specific file versions existing (or changed) within that time-frame will be
extracted.
+ 2-way and 3-way Diff/Merge Editor Enhancements added the "Quick-Bar" which
gives easier access to
difference related information and actions. Adds real-time difference counts
and quick resolution buttons to
be able to resolve differences directly without further mouse-clicks or
cut&paste type operations.
+ Attachment options: Added and expanded drag-N-drop and save capabilities
for Change Request
attachments. This further enhances the ease with which users can attach and
manage supporting
documentation to their issues/tasks, which in turn improves trackability and
traceability.
+ Checksum command line function: Checksums were already directly available
through the UI under the
workspace difference tool. This enhancement adds the matching functionality
to the commandline to
facilitate quick and easy verification of the accuracy of files. For example
a list of checksums could be
obtained/stored when a release is extracted such that comparisons at a later
point in time can verify whether
anything has changed. This is very useful, particularly when dealing with
support situations on production
or customer systems.
+ Administrator unlock of concurrent edits: Extend the existing unlock
capabilities to support
concurrent/parallel edits i.e. where multiple users have the same file out
for edit at the same time. This
feature allows the administrator to specifically select which edit session
he/she desired to unlock. The
affected user will be automatically notified if automaic notifications are
enabled.
+ Additional action buttons on Release management and Package management
screens. To facilitate
release management type actions a number of extra capabilities (that were
available elsewhere) have been
brought together directly under the release/package-management screens.
Specifically this adds direct
access to extraction and reporting capabilities.
+ Report enhancements: (CR by state and/or severity report, CRs not assigned
to release report). A number
of enhancements continue to be made to a number of reports.
+ Ability to hard delete the soft deleted items from the Delete log screen.
A customer requested item to
facilitate repository clean-up activities.
+ Improve LDAP/Active Directory diagnostic capabilities. When configuring
SpectrumSCM to work with
corporate LDAP/Active-Directory installations a number of different
configurations and security issues can
arise. This enhancement helps the SpectrumSCM systems administrator diagnose
and resolve such items.
+ Add Create CR to Assign/Modify Screen - Add a (customer requested)
shortcut from the Change Request
Assignment dashboard over to the Change Request creation screen, so that
when managing CRs, the user
can easily create new tasks or sub-tasks.
+ Updates to workspace diff tools - Enhance the Workspace difference/merge
tools to add the "Quick-Bar"
functionality. Also added difference counts to the directory differencer.
