   I anticipated to write up a little more detail, however as you quite rightly put in one of your entries on your blog, I simply lacked the motivation to write anything in detail, however I felt urged to at least post something new this week;)

   Unfortunately Xenon Beta simply pesters you for a licence key and you cannot actually run it. Also it does not run on linux either.

   One key problem this has resolved is communication over https.
   “* Bug Fix – Integration with Zend Platform did not work with https communication.”

   well, since it won’t load on LINUX nor Windows, neither of us can evaluate it…

   Funny, becuase I bitched on the phone to a new zend rep when she called to sell me on some things the other day, then this appears, and yet it doesn’t work.

   If they implement code folding before release, i’ll be a happy camper, but knowing zend, they’re not going to.

   Got an email back this morning from the Zend team… they updated the download… so uninstall, download the new one, and reinstall (note: the build number is the same)

   So far, it’s neat… appears you need to manually switch between which source control tool you want, and it appears as if the new version is using a bit more ram… actually… alot more ram.

   OT: Tell me you didn’t bully the new girl at Zend again

   I have rather varied projects and they use a combination of CVS / SVN.

   One thing i’m anxious to find out is if you can switch between CVS and SVN per project rather than as a preference?

   Looking at a Zend project File…

     <project_entity ID=”Subversion”>
       <svnCmdArguments>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”update”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”commit”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”add”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”status”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”diff”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”delete”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”revert”/>
         <SubversionCommand commandType=”resolve”/>
       </svnCmdArguments>
     </project_entity>
     <project_entity ID=”CVS”>
       <lastArguments>
         <CVSCommand commandType=”update”/>
         <CVSCommand commandType=”commit”/>
         <CVSCommand commandType=”add”/>
         <CVSCommand commandType=”status”/>
         <CVSCommand commandType=”diff”/>
       </lastArguments>
     </project_entity>
