Options: Editions

"Release All Components" creates new editions if necessary

The "Release All Components" commands can be used with Packages, Projects or Solutions. On the Editions menu, they can be used to release all of either the most recent or workspace editions of the subcomponents. On the Names menu, the command affects the most recent open edition of the selected component names. If the most recent edition is a version, the command can optionally create a new open edition if this option is set.

Create new, open editions rather than scratch editions

This option determines whether the system creates scratch editions or new, open editions.

Always prompt whether to create scratch or open editions

This option determines whether the user is asked whether to create a scratch edition or a new, open edition.

Check for newer, open editions when creating new editions

This check box causes a quick check for newer, open editions to occur any time the user explicitly issues the "Create Open Edition" command from the Manage menu or a new edition is implicitly created as the result of another operation.

Use edition descriptions / version comments

Allows the developer to provide an edition-specific description/comment for any Solution (VAJ 3.5), Project, Package, Type or Method. These comments are specific to the edition and are not inherited by new editions. They can be used to uniquely identify an edition in any edition list.

Show descriptions in edition lists

Determines whether the edition descriptions are displayed in edition lists.

Note: with a remote repository connection or a slow network connection to a local repository, you may want to turn this option off as this features generates additional repository traffic and may lead a slowdown in your ability to access various edition lists.

Prompt for descriptions when creating new editions

Determines whether you are optionally prompted for an edition description when a new edition is created.
