August 31, 2012 9:51:21.195

Today's Smalltalk 4 You looks at compaing editions in ENVY - the nice part of this is, that includes editions that you never formally released. If you have trouble viewing it here in the browser, you can also navigate directly to YouTube. To watch now, click on the image below:

Comparing Editions.

If you have trouble viewing that directly, you can click here to download the video directly. If you need the video in a Windows Media format, then download that here.

Today we'll look at one of the simpler, but nicer features of ENVY in VA Smalltalk - the ability to compare two Applications for differences. While that's easily possible in any version control system, ENVY tracks everything - so we can even compare to versions we never released:

Comparing

Simply pop up the context menu after selecting both apps, and pick the comparison option. Note that you can include (or exclude) sub applications:

Comparing

What pops up is a differences browser, showing the places where the two applications differ. If you think you may have "lost" code in an un-released edition, ENVY makes it easy to recover it.

Differences

Is this a great comment (in the group we set up around our Skyrim podcast) or what?

Saw a woman with one of the "college of winterhold" tshirts today. Needless to say, I interogated her on all things Skyrim and we both missed our buses
