Enjoy the new release

Some colleagues of mine gave me a short briefing on Git and so I read a lot about it. In the last few days I tried Bazaar and Mercurial too. Bazaar is too slow and hasn't got a integrated branch switching, that means each folder is a branch.

Mercurial and Git are nearly equal in performance and features, but I think Mercurial has a better Windows support and better tools like HGeclipse. On the other side I suppose Git has the bigger community (if you compare Github and Bitbucket).

What would you prefer?

The next Devproof Portal release comes a little bit later (maybe April or May). It will be a release candidate too. Here is the estimated changeset:

• Updated Frameworks again
• More tests
• Some refactoring (e.g. Model fixes)
• Oracle support

If you like, you can take a look to the Google Code Issue Tracker.
