Vim plugin for AccuRev – 1.0 Release

I’m happy to announce the first gold release of the AccuRev SCM integration for Vim!

For those AccuRev users out there that know the true power of the vim editor, life just got even better. Now you can perform over 30 commands directly within vim including keep [\k], promote [\p], update [\u], merge [\m], revert [\rb], diff [\db], status search [\s], and more! The plugin is per-buffer so you can work on multiple files concurrently and perform AccuRev actions on each file independently. In addition, you can work in either console or GUI (gvim) mode! Here are some additional screenshots of the plugin in action.

This vim plugin has its own site at www.vim4accurev.com for downloads, announcements, documentation and user feedback (ala blog style). You can download the plugin from the download page.

The plugin currently requires Vim 7.x and supports AccuRev 4.5.x and the latest 4.6.x. I developed and tested the plugin on both linux (Ubuntu 7.10) and Windows (XP) platforms.

Important note: While the plugin was developed by an AccuRev employee (me) and vim-user for 10+ years, it is considered a third-party open-source plugin and is not officially supported by the folks @ AccuRev support. That being said, I’m proud of the plugin and welcome feedback and enhancement requests for the next release. You’ll find my contact information on the plugin website.
