CodePlex Goes Less Green for the Holidays with a New Look

Despite an unusual amount of snow wreaking havoc across Seattle and no one able to make it to the office, we were still able to deploy the latest version of the CodePlex software on Thursday, Dec 18, 2008, our last deployment of the year.

New look

Just go to CodePlex.com or any non-project page to check out the new look.

New CodePlex look and feel

Personal Project URLs for projects

We’re introducing a shorter, more personal URL for projects, where your project name comes first, in the form of <projectname>.codeplex.com. You can now do https://xunit.codeplex.com alongside https://www.codeplex.com/xunit.

Note that you’ll still see us use the longer format throughout the site right now. We have plans to switch over to the new version in upcoming releases.

Bookmark source code files once again

Using the new source control browser, you can once again bookmark specific files.

Issue Tracker performance updates

We’ve done some work to improve the performance of the issue tracker. We’re hoping you will notice the difference.

Increased File Sizes for Releases

You can now attached files of 250mb in a release.

And snow!

Okay, we’re not really responsible for this one. Across the water is Seattle, but even on a non-snow day, you couldn’t see the city anyways =D
