One of the more common questions we get at ProjectLocker is whether Mylyn works with ProjectLocker. For those that haven't worked with Mylyn, it's basically a plugin for Eclipse that brings all of your development tasks into your IDE, and lets you manage your Trac issues when you're offline.
Good news: ProjectLocker works with Mylyn without any special configuration. We've put together a short screencast to show how to get started. If you're new to using Mylyn, that page also has some links to help you get a better understanding of how Mylyn can increase your productivity.

Due to heavy customer demand, we've worked hard to release our newest feature: Remote Deployment. With Remote Deployment, you can deploy code directly from your SVN repository at ProjectLocker to your servers without writing scripts on your machine. You can configure multiple environments to represent your development, QA, or production deployment needs. We support transport of your data via FTP, SFTP, and SCP, and we even allow you to run SSH commands on your server after the deploy is complete! We even provide a public key that you can install to your deployment user's account to allow secure deployment without passwords. To try it out, just go to your Project page in ProjectLocker Portal and click on Remote Deploy Settings. The tool is in Beta at this time, so if you have any issues, please open a ticket or contact us via e-mail, and we'll be happy to assist.
We hope our customers find this feature useful in managing their development. Being able to deploy to multiple environments on-demand means that you can do release management more easily and on a schedule that suits you, without lots of scripting and additional hardware. If you're not yet a ProjectLocker customer, compare our prices and features to any of our competitors and you'll find we're not only the lowest-priced solution, but also the best value. We're excited to continue to find new ways to bring our customers Software Quality on Demand.

As promised, ProjectLocker's Subversion hosting was upgraded to Subversion 1.5.2 on Saturday. Any new projects you create going forward will automatically use the Subversion 1.5 repository format, and will let you immediately take advantage of features and improvements new to Subversion 1.5.
If you want to use any of the 1.5 features that require a 1.5 repository on an existing project, you will need to upgrade your repository to the 1.5 format. To do so, please open a support ticket or send an email to support@projectlocker.com with your account name and the name of the project(s) you'd like upgraded. We'll then upgrade the repositories on our end and let you know when you can enjoy all the new 1.5 goodness (See the release notes for details on which features require a 1.5 repository).
Again, please note that you do not have to upgrade your client unless you specifcally want to take advantage of 1.5 features.

Whether you're running Subversion yourself on your local servers or taking advantage of one of ProjectLocker's hosted Subversion subscriptions, you'll still need a suitable Subversion client to run on your workstation. Since ProjectLocker will work with virtually any Subversion client, we're tool-agnostic. But, we realize it's probably helpful for both our new customers and veteran clients to see what's currently available. Below, you'll find a list of some of the most popular open source Subversion clients on the web, arranged by supported operating systems. This list is by no means comprehensive. In fact, if you're using an SVN client that you love, and we haven't included it here, definitely let us know and we'll add it to the list.

As our recent launch of automated code reviews illustrates, ProjectLocker is constantly looking for new and better ways to help development teams create the strongest, highest-quality applications in the shortest time frames possible. But, as every software developer knows, building your application is only half the battle.
Which is why, as our first foray into the world of software release and delivery, we're happy to announce our partnership with our new friends at Morph Labs.
Morph is a leader in the brave new world of "Platform As A Service" - their unique infrastructure allows their users to instantly provision instances of their web applications that are immediately available over the internet with built-in scalability, all while minimizing the maintanance and support efforts required of their users.
Now, if you're a ProjectLocker client and you sign up for Morph, you can configure your user portal so that selected projects can be instantly deployed from your Subversion repository to Morph, literally at the push of a button. At the moment, this feature is only available for Ruby on Rails applications, but we plan to offer the same service for our Java clients later this year.
By eliminating huge portions of your development overhead with ProjectLocker AND an even larger portion of your release and deployment overhead with Morph, our Rails clients can now experience a dramatic jump in their time to market.
You can learn more about this new partnership from the press release here. If you're a current Morph client and would like to take advantage of ProjectLocker's great deals on Subversion hosting, as well as any of our other productivity tools, contact sales (at) projectlocker.com. If you're a ProjectLocker customer and would like to deploy directly to Morph, you can sign up for their service by clicking this link.

We have received many inquiries regarding our plans for Subversion 1.5 at ProjectLocker. I'd like to take a moment to outline our plans specific to Subversion 1.5, as well as present the guidelines that we use to schedule upgrades to major system components.
Our guideline at ProjectLocker is to allow at least 60 days of burn-in for any major software release. This allows other users to put the software to real-world tests in a variety of environments. It also typically allows any major issues to be discovered, and often resolved with an update release. Most well-supported open source software will generally stabilize within this time period, and the pace of updates will slow as development shifts to the next major version. Our goal behind this process is to ensure that any software that we put into production for our users is stable and unlikely to cause them major problems. Our aim is definitely not to be on the bleeding edge, but rather to be running a still-current version of all of our platform software.
In that light, our observation period for Subversion 1.5 is nearing its end. Our current plan is to upgrade our servers to Subversion 1.5.2 on October 11. Unless there are major new flaws discovered in the 1.5 line, we will send a note to our customers with details of the maintenance window we schedule for the upgrade (you will not get this notification unless you are on our maintenance mailing list). If there are major new flaws, or if 1.5.3 is released in the interim, we will make a determination as to how to proceed depending on the speciics. However, at this time we are building our plans around October 11.
Note that you will not have to upgrade your client when our servers migrate to 1.5, unless you plan to take advantage of certain 1.5 features. (See the release notes for details.)

A number of ProjectLocker Lite customers have asked for a larger plan to accomodate their larger teams. Now, the Equity plan is here, with 25 users and up to 30 GB of storage for just $30/month. Like all ProjectLocker plans, you can create unlimited projects and repositories within the storage limits. New customers can sign up for the plan at the ProjectLocker web site, and existing customers can click on the Upgrade Account link in ProjectLocker Portal to have their account converted to Equity.
Equity is just another step towards our goal of having the highest quality Subversion hosting and Trac hosting at the lowest prices in the industry. Compare us to our competition, then try us today. And to the thousands who have already decided that ProjectLocker is right for them, thank you for choosing ProjectLocker.

Midnight tonight, August 31st, is the cut off for the iPhone Referral Raffle we started at the beginning of this summer. As we mentioned before, whomever has the most referrals by tonight will win a new iPhone, courtesy of ProjectLocker. But, because we've gotten such a great response and to sweeten the pot a bit more, we're also going to give away a SECOND 16 GB iPhone 3G to one other customer reference in a random drawing after tonight.
So, even if you haven't made the most referrals, you can still refer your software startup friends to ProjectLocker. If they order any of our services before midnight tonight, Pacific Standard Time, and enter your e-mail in the Referral Source field, you'll be in the running. So don't wait - the clock is ticking.....
