VBubbles 1.0

VBubbles 1.0 provides you an easy-to-use project versions management, visual tools for component changes overview and code history, compiled files log and code locking, development time tracking and other powerful productivity tools. It provides better comfort, increases productivity and facilitates shared development.

A Visual Basic project is made of many files that may be stored in different folders and, sometimes, ared shared among different projects.

Even if you develop a single-version project, it may be uneasy to create secure backups or move your project onto an other computer. And its quite impossible to manage different versions of a project without using some esoteric and expensive software...

That's the sad truth, but... The bubbles arrived !

A bubble is an unique database file that encapsulate all your project files and more. It precisely contains :

• Your projects group file
• Your project(s) file(s)
• All the files described in your project(s) file(s)
  
• And any other files required by your development (bitmap, databases,...)

Actually, a bubble is much more than a single container. We could describe it as a file library that stores critical information which allows VBubbles to :

• Manage an unlimited number of versions,
• Create intuitive views of your projects history,
• Line-by-line compare any versions of any components,
• Presents comprehensive information about references, objects, procedures and API declarations,
• Logs and store compiled files
• Tracks development times.

Major Features:

1. All project files encapsulation: VBubbles captures all your project files into a bubble*.
   
   • Easy backup and transfer
   • Thanks to VBubbles, the management of your project is now easier and safer
2. Unlimited number of work versions: At any time, you can create a new version of your project, with an automatic inheritance procedure.   
   
   • The multiversion technology brings an essential new dimension to your projects
   • Your development becomes more comfortable and flexible
3. Components visual follow up: VBubbles provides a powerful tool for visual
   components follow-up and versions comparison
   
   • Permanent development follow-up
   • You now have better control over big and/or shared projects
4. Line by line code comparison: With VBubbles you can easily compare each code line of each of your project components :   
   An integrated powerful code history tool inside your IDE rather than expensive and complex softwares.
   
5. Build files log and backup
   
   • BuildLog VBubbles function allows you to log and store each executable file that you built.
   • Thanks to automatic compiled versions locking, each built code version is protected and can be easily accessed.
6. Development time tracking: The development time is saved for each version of your project
   Better production cost control.
   
7. And many other tools...With VBubbles you may browse the properties of any version of your project without leaving the current one :
   
   • Access to any file and code procedure
   • Additionary files* editing without leaving the VB IDE
   • Project's objects and references overview
   • API declarations
