QVCS-Enterprise 2.1.9.3 Beta Now Available

I just posted the 2.1.9.3 beta for the upcoming QVCS-Enterprise release. This release also includes the IDE integration piece as that now works and has been updated to work with the new 2.1 features, including support for views.

The remaining area that needs work in this build: directory level operations (i.e. get and label) do not work for non-Trunk views. My plan is to disable directory level operations for views for the 2.1 release, but this beta still has some rough edges in that area of the client application.

This beta reworks the way file renames and file moves are handled so that things are more likely to behave in ways less surprising to users. In the earlier beta, if you moved a file (via drag-and-drop), the associated workfile would also get moved on someone else's workstation -- not good. The same would happen with a file rename operation. This beta fixes that so that the workfile will get moved or renamed only on the workstation that requested the move or rename. Other workstation workfiles are not affected.

Things are getting pretty stable, and the actual 2.1 release will get published soon after I complete the cleanup of the directory level operations for non-Trunk views.
