What's more, you will stay in synch with your team's changes because they automatically pushed to you via Email.

Wiki Bug Database
- Download the zipped wiki files and copy them over to a directory in your Code Co-op project--the next time you enter this directory using Code Co-op, you'll see the home page of the database and you can start modifying it according to your needs. Of course, add the wiki files to the project and check them in.

New Features 5.0 in Detail
Peer-to-peer Wiki support and an extensible Wiki-based database
The Wiki functionality allows team members to create local Wiki sites in their projects. These sites may contain notes, to-do lists, design plans, or any other documentation, ranging in form from pure text to richly formatted documents. Creating, editing, hyperlinking, and embedding pictures in Wiki pages is easy and intuitive. The pages are automatically versioned and shared between team members using Code Co-op, without the need for a web server. These sites are navigable using a built-in, full-featured Internet Browser Control.
Version 5.0 includes a flexible bug tracking system built on top of Code Co-op. Each bug report is a Wiki file which contains a combination of database fields and free-form Wiki-formatted text, with links, screenshots, preformatted code and more. Using a simplified version of SQL that is built into Code Co-op Wiki, bug reports can be displayed and organized based on their properties. This mechanism is general enough to let the user create and manage arbitrary text-based databases.
Branch and merge support
Previous versions of Code Co-op had limited support for branches. This release introduces intuitive branch merging using pluggable external tools.
SMTP/POP3 Email support
The addition of SMTP/POP3 support introduces the ability to collaborate using almost any email system that supports these protocols. It also means that the distribution of change scripts is completely hidden in the background. Many popular free email hosts like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail support SMTP/POP3.
GUI Improvements
The GUI improvements include the addition of split-pane history display, which makes it very easy to view, save, compare, and merge historical versions of files. Selecting a project version in the history pane brings up the list of changed files in the file pane. Specific changes can then be viewed by double-clicking on each file. The same convenient UI is used for reviewing incoming scripts before synchronization.
