Perforce Software Tackles Macintosh and Linux Development Markets with New Graphical User Interface Developers embrace visual tool's native look and feel Alameda, Calif., July 15, 2003 -- Perforce Software today announced its first full graphical user interface (GUI), the Perforce Visual Client (P4V), for the Macintosh and Linux platforms. Complementing Perforce's existing interfaces -- command line, Windows, Web, and IDE plug-ins -- the new full GUI for Mac and Linux brings Perforce to all developers (see attached Screenshots). "With the Macintosh, we've always been there and never been there," said Christopher Seiwald, founder and chief technical officer of Perforce Software. "We've supported it all along, but our interfaces were geared towards customers with their primary development on other platforms, with the Mac as a porting platform. Now we have the first class SCM tool for Mac developers, period. And it's easy to see that Linux is no longer an esoteric domain: mainstream development efforts require an easily accessible SCM tool. P4V is that." �I work remotely and Perforce is much faster than other source control systems I�ve worked with,� said Dan Maser, software developer at Interactive Intelligence. �I used the Beta release of P4V and really liked its native look and feel.� P4V was written with Trolltech's Qt, a multiplatform C++ application development framework. This allowed Perforce Software to write one application that runs on both Linux and Mac OS X operating systems, yet ensures a native look and feel and the performance that Perforce users have come to expect. Availability & Pricing of the Perforce Visual Client (P4V) P4V will be available for general release in mid-July. P4V is bundled with the Perforce Server, for no additional charge.
