Source Safe is still in version 6.0 that was released
years ago with Visual Studio 6.0.  Since that time I have
not heard of anything from Microsoft as to whether or not
they will release a new version of Source Safe or even if
they will continue to support the current version.  We are
looking into making a decision pertaining to using a
version control agent and just want to make sure that if
we dedicate ourselves to VSS that they will not pull it
off the market in a short time.  

Has anyone heard of any news of development of a new
version or support initiatives that Microsoft may have for
the current version?  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

The current version (6.0d) is what is released with VS.NET and includes
changes specific to both VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003. MS is continuing to
support VSS. As to what the next version will look like, we'll have to wait
and see.

Configuration Management
Software Configuration Management (SCM) is a disciplined approach to
managing and controlling the evolution of software development and
maintenance practices as they change over time. With SCM, enterprise
developers can make safe alterations to existing code, track changes across
developers, projects, and time, manage the build process effectively, and
track project defects and issues. By providing project-oriented software
management, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe delivers integrated SCM support for
developers using Visual Studio.

In Whidbey, Microsoft will improve upon the Visual SourceSafe tools and
offer programmers working in teams the technology they need to manage source
code as well as other files in their solutions. Visual SourceSafe will be
extended to offer support for Web service and Unicode projects, helping
programmers more effectively meet the challenges of today's business.
Further, Visual SourceSafe will better support team development with remote
access, both by making common operations faster and asynchronous, and by
enabling access through firewalls. Hence, developers will enjoy improved
performance and tighter integration between Visual SourceSafe and the Visual
Studio IDE.
