FishEye Crucible 2.4 - better DVCS support, improved performance Crucible for $10
Wednesday, 20 October 2010 17:00
Branch and tag browsing, a faster UI and a Crucible Starter license for $10 are just some of the new features in FishEye 2.4 and Crucible 2.4.
What's new in FishEye?
Improved browsing - branch and tag filter
The new branch and tag filter allows you to explore code in your repository on a specific branch or tag, making it easier (especially for DVCS users with Git and Mercurial) to navigate complex repositories and understand how your project has changed over time.
FishEye will detect the main branch (e.g master on Git, default on Mercurial, MAIN on CVS) of your repository. Using the branch/tag selector you can then manually select and investigate a specific branch/tag, or get a unified repository view by selecting ALL.
The branch/tag filter is persisted across the different FishEye views (activity streams, revisions, etc.) so you can keep context as you move throughout the product.
Redesigned file history page
The redesigned file history page summarizes revision details in an efficient and scannable fashion to help you find what you are looking for, faster. Changes include:- A new filter to view only revisions that match a date range, committer, log comment, etc. that you specify
- Ability to view more or less revision detail when needed
- Improved placement of links and actions for easier navigation
Application links
Application links are a new way to connect FishEye to JIRA, or any other Atlassian applications using the Trusted Applications protocol, OAuth or basic HTTP authentication.
The easy setup wizard helps create links to share information and access functions from one application to the other. For example, if you linked your FishEye instance with a JIRA server, you could view JIRA issues in your FishEye activity stream or view the changesets associated with an issue in JIRA.
And a whole lot more...
- Security features like full Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support
- Redesigned Administrator with new repository activity log
- Performance improvements - including pagination over large sets of items (e.g repository lists)
- ClearCase support improvements

Native repository access
Crucible has a new way of accessing repositories and now supports Subversion, Perforce, CVS, Git, Mercurial and ClearCase out of the box - without the need for plug-ins. Commits are now displayed in the activity stream and you have the ability to search and browse for files during review. This means faster and more efficient integration with your source and a simple upgrade if you choose to add FishEye later. And of course LightSCM plugins still work for accessing other review sources.
