More Disk space all round. 2
As of today we have Doubled the disk space on all our plans with the exception of the Mini plan which now has 4x the amount of disk space.
This is a reflection on the maturity of our infrastructure that we can now provide more resources to you at no extra cost, while maintaining our commitment to security and uptime.
The plans now look like this :
- Mini : 1GB
- MicroISV : 2GB
- Small Team : 4GB
- Large Team : 6GB
- Enterprise : 20GB
Enjoy the extra space!
Q&A Site for CodeSpaces.com
We have set up a simple Questions and Answers site that will (ultimately) replace for Code Spaces forums.
Its inspired by StackOverflow and is powered by the wonderful open source platform Shapado (http://gitorious.org/shapado).
Why?
We are trying to become more vocal and active in the development community and we think a site like this will not only serve to help our customers but also to reach out to the development community at large, especially Git and Subversion users.
I hope you will sign up and help us make this a great resource.
Git Support!
Without any fireworks or drum rolls we rolled out our Git Support last night, and the early response has been amazing.
We are going to be creating some content over the coming days and weeks to provide as mush documentation and help for Git (and Code Spaces), but in the mean time please contact us if you have any questions?
As always all Plans have unlimited Git Repositories so "fill your boots"
You look different... Have you had work done?
Hey Guys!
Its been an amazingly busy few weeks here and while things are not showing any signs of slowing down, I thought id catch 5 minutes (and my breath) to tell you what's been going on and what's coming up next.
2 Weekends ago! (25th July 2010)
We did a major UI update which included an upgrade from ExtJS 1.1 to ExtJS 3.2.1 and while we didn't add any new features we got a whole lot for FREE. (I will talk about these in a minute).
Code Spaces Roadmap
While we have no exact dates penciled in for any of this yet, I thought I would give you guys a quick overview of the Code Spaces (short term) roadmap.

Next Version (v2.8.5) - "The work item release"
- Lots of updates to the work items section.
- Better Work Item grid, which will remember your settings (Columns, Order, Sorting, etc...)
- Bulk Editing of Work Item Attributes.
- Quick Editing right from the grid.
- More/Better admin options.
- Lots more Work Item stuff.
And Beyond...
- Support for GIT (Yes I know we said we would never do this!).
- Support for Granular SVN permissions.
- Visual Studio Add-in (Code Spaces Work item and SVN Support).
- API Samples (Ruby, .NET, Java)
These are the things that are occupying our thoughts and time right now, but please let us know if you have any features or improvements, we are listening and we really appreciate it.
CodeSpaces v2.8 - New release 2
We deployed an update to the Code Spaces system today, we internally call this version v2.8 so why don't you ;-)
The update contains a number of bug fixes (particularly to work items), an Account Dashboard and some infrastructure updates to support our Road Map (I will blog about this next).
Account Dashboard
If you have more than one active project in Code Spaces it can become tiresome having to change in to a new project every time you want to check on a Work Item or Subversion Commit, especially if your one of the many IT Consultancies that use Code Spaces and have upwards of 20 projects active.
Removing the Flash Charts from Code Spaces 4
Now that everyone is using there iPad to manage their Code Spaces account we are getting a lot of requests to remove the Flash content from the Dashboard and Planning tabs.
We have identified a good charting package that is all Javascript and renders perfectly on all major browsers, yep Internet Explorer too!
The package we are going to use, is HighCharts and from our initial testing and some internal applications I think you are all going to appreciate the upgrade, even if you aren't using an iPad ;-)
The only other thing that remains is the Gantt chart which we might end up writing ourselves, unless any Javascript Gantt component vendors are out there...
Code Spaces Update coming this Sunday (2010-07-11)
We will be applying a number of updates to the Code Spaces applications this coming weekend, Our plan is to keep the Subversion Cluster up but to take down the Code Spaces App servers for about 1 hour from 10:00 GMT to 11:00 GMT.
The update will include a number of bug fixes as well as a new account dashboard allowing users with many projects to get a high level overview of the entire system, for example All work items.
We are also updating some of the infrastructure.
If you have any questions about this please Contact Us.
Visual Studio Integration
We are about to take our new Visual Studio Integration module in to BETA, the project will allow you to use all the SVN features from Visual Studio as well as integration with the Code Spaces issue tracking system.
The workflow will be familiar to Visual Studio developers who have touched Team Foundation Server.
If you are at all interested in this drop us a mail to get on the BETA list.
Some Code Spaces Stats
From time to time we get potential customers who ask us to describe our customer base and to list a few of our existing customers, I guess its natural to want to know who is using Code Spaces before you commit to using it yourself.
So a few stats (Correct at time of writing 2010-07-02),
USERS
- Number of active users: 3811
- Number of paying users: 3411
