ZigVersion for Mac1.2.3

To cometo it, they should updated this file to be free.

Its good, but I just need to make sure my svn addons like stargate are kept up to date, I don't want to manage my svn server or anything else in that matter. I don't want any more nor any less then just making sure my addons are up to date. Features: It provides what you need to update the files on your computer and server itself Ease of Use: Would be nice if this added some new stuff onto the alt-menu (or referred to right click menu) so I can right a svn file on this computer and check-in or out that file (If file has been svn updated before) and be done. Value: I would strip what people would use for just check-outs and keep the original for svn server hosters Stability its pretty rock solid, not failures of any kind.

Out of business. Careful where you spend $100.

I still don't get what this software is for. I don't understand and I don't use the command line much.

I'd used svnX for managing my repositories on my laptop, but I must say that the one-window interface of ZigVersion is a huge advantage! However, it hasn't recognized my versioned files unless I used it for checkouts.

Why advertise that it's free to non-commercial users? It certainly looks like useful software, but I'm not convinced that I should pay for beta software.

As Developers this is a GREAT product. Can't wait to try and push out to my staff!

I use Subversion like no other. This looks friggin awesome. Give it to me now.

ZigVersion is an EXCELLENT alternative to the command line svn interface, and opens up the efficiencies of working with version control for people who wouldn't otherwise attempt it. Great for programmers and web developers - especially those web designers who've used the check-in/check-out functions in Dreamweaver.

Man I was just searching a subversion tool... I was writing a LateX article for a journal, and I needed a lot subversion for dealing with the editors... Nice!

This sounds to good to be true, got to give this a proper spin! Benn looking for something like this!

So it's 100% free for non-commercial stuff?

I guess a version control system is the most helpful when it is integrated into an IDE... still, graphical version control makes sense, since it makes comparing the differences between revisions much easier.

Not sure I totally understand what this will do for me, but then again I don't use a command line very often any more. I'll still check it out, and who knows maybe I'll start using the command line more.

free for non-commercial use? that's very generous....something new to learn!!! thanks

Whow! This one is really fast and has a pretty surface. I give it a serious try.

Not being a fan of the command line since my DOS days or on my Macs since 84, I can appreciate anything close to a GUI SVN app. Will give it a try and see what happens, maybe I'll go back to the command line.

Subversion can be intimidating to people who avoid the command line or aren't familiar with non-gui interfaces. ZigVersion is an EXCELLENT alternative to the command line svn interface, and opens up the efficiencies of working with version control for people who wouldn't otherwise attempt it. Great for programmers and web developers - especially those web designers who've used the check-in/check-out functions in Dreamweaver. Don't assume it's just for noobs though. Xcode users will appreciate it's simple but feature rich interface. It makes any programming workflow quick and painless.

Guess if I have no idea what it does, I don't need it! Or do I and just didn't know it? :-)

I hadn't seen this client before (though I wasn't looking hard). Even with the discount, it seems a bit pricey for an SVN client, but I'll certainly check out the non-commerical license since it seems like it has some nice features.

This sounds like a really useful app, and I'm downloading it right now. I've had exposure to CVS on Linux, but I never really liked working with the command line. Maybe this app is just what I need!

Free for non comm use? That is awesome. I have been using svnX, which is great, but I'll give this a spin for sure!

This looks like it might actually be a graphical front end to SVN that actually looks good on OS X!

Finally an application that I could actually use. Downloading it to give a spin

Sounds like a must-try app. I'll download the trial immediately

Never heard of it but no doubt it is useful.

I'll get the trial and give it a go, doubt I'll use it though - prefer doing it my own way :)

In general i prefer console for SVN ... but it looks a good alternative. I'll try it

nice app, and it's FREE for non-commercial use!!

Nice promo. Will be thought-provoking for some people. :-)

Is the notion that Subversion is for professional developers the reason for software licenses with higher rates?

It definitely looks good, but it's quite pricey. I haven't tried it, yet, but svnX might be a good (free) alternative. I use the command line, anyway...or the TextMate bundle... :)

I was sorely tempted by ZigVersion awhile ago. This is a piece of software that is a well-designed front-end for powerful versioning software, and easy to use and learn. I was turned off by the hefty commercial license, though (since I'm designing commercial websites, with no fronting capital really). However, this price is very tempting. The only reservation that I still have is that the upcoming Versions from Made By Sofa looks like it might be a competitor worthy of supporting. On the other hand, it isn't out yet and Made By Sofa sometimes charges quite hefty prices, so who knows. In any case, this is well worth checking out if you use Subversion, or want to use it but are put off by the command line interface.

Hmm no thanks, I do not wan't a license for software which is free for me anyway ;)

I'll searching for this kind of software and it looks very nice, but still to expensive for me... hope I win!

I am a BIG fan of subversion!

Best SVN client I've found for Mac. Glad to see it's free for my needs.

Not a bad application, Subversion is getting more acceptance, so I'll have to test this application with ones that I currently use. The application icon makes it looks like this is an AppleScript tool.

I'll have to check this out and see how it compares to using the subversion support in xcode..

Thanks MU! I'll use it now!

Seems like a pretty cool program, but unfortunately I have no use for it. Doesn't mean I won't take it for free. ;-)

I have to say I'm very interested in this program having just tried to get SVN client side working on my Mac. Having tried a finder plugin and having to settle on using Eclipse with subclipse I'm very interested in a decent client app. However the price seems rather high to me just for an svn client? I'll have to do some research on this app and give it a go.

Does anyone have any experience with this and any other subversion clients to compare it to? I don't have any immediate use for a client, but I know I'll need one soon.

This looks like the only publicly available application (I'm looking at you, Versions!) that would actually let me successfully wrap my brain cells around SVN.

What the heck is a subversion client? Geez, another search I'll have to do online now to learn yet more about something I don't even know I need yet. So. Do I need it? Do I want it? Let's find out... Ah, now I see. I don't have a clue about this kind of tool. Even looking up the info did not help me understand. Oh well, hope its useful to those of you in the know! ;)

Looks handy.

The price has been a turnoff for me in the past, but at this price, i might bite.

Not exactly sure what this program does? Can anyone put it in plain English?

Subversion client, eh? Oh, but I'm non-commercial, so it's free! :-) Yay.

The best svn client I tried so far. Worth the price, if you're using professionally on a daily basis. If you're _only_ developing OS or private stuff you can order a free license.

GREAT! I always end up going back to the command line after trying the various graphical Subversion clients, due to buggines, or poor user interfaces. Not this time! ZigVersion is the first one that is actually more *productive* than using the comand line. It's a real native Mac app, with a thoughtful design. Sure, it is expensive for a commercial license, but that's to be expected when there's so much junky-but-free competition out there... I paid, and don't regret it one bit.

Hi FACTORYJOE, Erik is a great developer, a true professional, and very responsive. He actively maintains and updates ZigVersion.

On the surface it seems like a really nice, simple GUI for SVN. Hard to say how it compares with svnX from intitally playing with it, but it does seem stable, well made and the View Changes interface is quite good. I don't think I would pay $99 for it, and $59 still seems steep. If it were going for maybe $39 I'd bite -- as well as if I knew how active the developer was in maintaining and improving the application. I've got 11 hours left until the promo expires; I'll decide by then.

A decent subversion client for OSX

If I were to recommend a subversion client this would be it.

Definitely a very useful program, and you can't argue with 40% off.

Hello, seems to be one of the programs I was looking for. Easy to use.

Without a doubt, the best Subversion client for Mac out there, with full drag and drop support (the way you make a 'svn export' by dragging a folder to the Finder is just brilliant) ZigVersion is fast and stable, and the diff mode when commiting is worth its weight in gold (and should be made a standalone product we could use for merges : ) I've been using it from the pre 1.0 days and it has always been a trustworthy tool.

This is great SVN client, very mac like interface. Great support from developer too !

I think everyone can use a subversion client.

From initial testing this looks to be one of the better svn clients. Fast, simple, and easy to use.

This is the best svn client for OS X I know about. Continue the good work. Even if I had to spend a little time in the beginning.

It's OK - it's probably the best of all of the svn clients for the mac right now. The big thing about it is that you don't need a separate command line program - it's got subversion compiled in. Otherwise, it gets confused a lot - I've noticed that it doesn't successfully 'clean' very often, and has a hard time with a lot of UTF8 valid characters. Also, if there's something really perverse about a filename, like that it has a forward slash in it, the command line client is OK with it but Zigersion barfs. That's ok - tortoisesvn doesn't do so well either.

I wanted to make sure students and other non-commercial users aren't turned away due to the price. This application has two different licenses: - A free, non-commercial license: "Our free license is for non-commercial use only. Typical examples of this include home, open-source and student use." - A commercial license for $139 that you can buy through Kagi Note: I have no affiliation with the developer of this application.

Wow. FInally a Subversion client for OS X that appears to not suck and actually looks like a Mac app! Nice work. Note however that the licensing for this is still up in the air and this beta version comes with a 30-day trial license. From the ZigVersion web site: "ZigVersion is a closed source commercial product. The price has not been set yet, but we're planning on making licenses for personal, opensource, and educational use free." So "Free" isn't probably the best description for this license :)
