AccuRev has announced its latest release, version 5.4, to all customers! We’ve made some changes and added a few new features that I’m really excited about.
Support
First, we added native Windows 64-bit support, and support for “Lion” Mac OS for AccuRev clients. (Mac OS AccuRev servers are supported on a “beta” release basis.)
New stream and workspace search, find, and filter features.
I’m really excited about this new feature. With enhanced search in the stream browser, users are now able to search and filter results to easily find streams within the hierarchy. Additionally, users can search files within their workspace. We’ve all had the problem where there are 1000′s of files in our workspace and we just want to find the one file we are working on. With our new workspace search feature, you are able to search through your files, filter the results and even limit them to file status. Hooray!
Check out the feature demo.
New optional Timestamp Optimization Behavior
A new Timestamp Optimization (TSO) feature is now optionally available as a server side setting. While the traditional TSO provides good performance when identifying modified files, we’ve improved the functionality so it will always understand files with older time stamps that have been copied into the workspace from another directory. The new TSO maintains a small local database cache on the client which allows all modified files to be identified without a significant impact to performance.
Some deprecated features and platforms are no longer available as of this release.

Thanks!
Great to see the regex-like (e.g. *.java) capabilities in the search box. What globbing capabilities are provided at this time?
