Introducing GitLive's Early Access Program for VS Code

We are happy to announce that GitLives Early Access Program is now available in VS Code

Our Early Access Program aims to involve our users in shaping the future of GitLive. By joining the EAP you can test our latest features before the major release. Your feedback will help us address issues and make sure that an updated version of the app will meet your expectations before we release it to all users.

The EAP starts with version 15.0.0, flagged in VS Code marketplace as a Pre-Release Version. As this is a major release, all team members need to install it to ensure that all features work correctly. GitLives EAP is also available via the EAP channel in the JetBrains marketplace - read more in this blog post.

Whats new in GitLive 15.0.0 EAP?

The latest version of GitLive shows changes from all branches in the team tree and via the change markers in the gutter of the editor (previously only the changes from each users current branch were shown). With this huge increase in visibility, weve also introduced powerful new filters to make it easier to find the users, issues, branches and changes you are interested in.

• See all work in progress in a single view. The team tree now shows every branch ahead of the repositorys default branch as well as unpushed changes from teammates local working copies.
• Enhanced tree view filters. New view filters in the team tree allow you to filter users (online or offline), branches/issues (todo, in progress, stale) and changes (pushed or unpushed).
• Get notified of merge conflicts across all branches. The change indicators in the gutter of the editor now shows changes from all branches as well as unpushed changes from teammates local working copies.
• New gutter indicator filters. You can now filter the change indicators shown in the gutter of your editor by change status (pushed, unpushed, non-conflicting, stale).
