May. 22, 2006 08:15 AM

BountySource.com have released the first version of their web-based SVN browser, written in Ruby on Rails, under the GNU GPL license. The project website is available at https://bssvnbrowser.bountysource.com.

The bsSvnBrowser is available as either a stand-alone application, or as a component that can be included in existing Ruby on Ruby projects. Creators Bounty Source "provide the Open Source Software Community with the hosting and tools required to organize and control any project, large or small."

Features of bsSvnBrowser:
