New repository-wizard in version 2.4

With the new version 2.4, the new repository-wizard is introduced.

With this wizard users will get a working repository with just a few clicks.

This feature is primary dedicated to subversions newbies to get a quick acess to versioning with subversion and access.


New version fixes bug with Access 2007

The current version 2.3.4.156 fixes a bug with OASIS-SVN running in Access 2007.

The toolbar-buttons were not shown as default so that there was no way to access the OASIS functionality.

Now the buttons are shown by default.


More languages for OASIS

With Version 2.3, OASIS-SVN supports different languages for the user-interface.

You can select your prefered language in the settings-dialog.

By now, english and german is supported - i will add more languages if needed.


Multilanguage-Version of OASIS-SVN


Currently, i'm working on a multilanguage-version of OASIS-SVN.

If you need other languages than german and english, please contact me via email.


Folder for storing settings changed

Since version 2.2.1.110 the settings and the logfile will no longer be saved in the program-directory because of problems with Vista/Windows7.

Since this version, the files are stored in in:
Windows-XP: "C:\documents and settings\%Username%\application data\OASIS\".
Vista/Windows7: "C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\OASIS\".

With the 64-Bit versions of Vista/Windows7, OASIS-SVN may have some trouble to find out if TortoiseSVN is installed.For this reason, the path to TortoiseSVN can be stored manually in the settings-file oasis_svn.cfg.


Local versioning with TortoiseSVN

If you would like to use a SVN-Repository on your local machine (for testing etc.), you don't even need a webserver with subversion installed.

You can do this job with TortoiseSVN only in an very easy manner how you can read in a tutorial.


Automatic updates for OASIS-SVN

Since release 103, the full version of OASIS-SVN offers an auto-update-mechanism to automatically load newer versions through the internet.

In order to be able to use this procedure, the version-check must be activated and an active internet-connection must be available.

If this conditions are given, OASIS-SVN can update itself over the internet.


Export of tables

From given cause I would like to point out here again that the ex and import of tables exhibit some restrictions.

Therefore i recommend you to store an empty (except of the tables) database (if necessary packed) in your repository.

Export and import of tables with OASIS-SVN is only meant for smaller lookup-tables, because recreating tables by code has some restrictions by Access itself.

If there are questions regarding this topic, contact me via email.


Demoversion available

From today, a demoversion can be found in the download-area.

This demoversion is fully functional, except that export, import and delete-operations are limited to 10 objects at a time.
