Release Notes for SoftBench 8.01

Release Notes For SoftBench 8.01
What’s in this Version
Chapter 1 5
— SoftBench CM: SoftBench CM is ideal for managing geographically dispersed
development teams. Unlike other configuration management systems, SoftBench CM
requires no additional infrastructure and there is no need for a dedicated
configuration management administrator. SoftBench CM is bundled with both C and
C++ SoftBench.
— Integrated XEmacs Editor: SoftBench 8.X uses XEmacs as its default source code
editor. XEmacs provides the latest capabilities necessary for effective editing, such as
language-sensitive color coding and auto-indenting.
— Licensing not required: Embedded license management (FLEXlm) has been
removed from SoftBench 6.30 and later. In some cases (internal software audits),
SoftBench customers may require a solution for tracking the concurrent usage. There
are independent software vendors (ISVs) who provide products that “ride on top of”
unlicensed software applications, keeping track of concurrent users and enforcing
license limits. As a convenience, a list of several ISVs and their products is provided
below. HP in no way endorses or supports any of the products from these ISVs.
• FLEXwrap from GLOBEtrotter Software - www.globetrotter.com
• SentinelTrack from Rainbow Technologies (SentinelTrack was previously
LicenseTrack from Wyatt River Software - Rainbow Technologies purchased
Wyatt in March 1998) - www.rainbow.com
• KeyServer from Sassafras Software - www.sassafras.com
— Recursive Makefile Generation Available: The Generate Makefile dialog box
supports a recursive build or “nightly” build to generate Makefiles for an entire
hierarchy of projects.
