1.0 Release - April 18, 2008
See my [http://crashopensource.blogspot.com/2008/04/source-server-will-be-ready-for-public.html blog post] for more information, and watch the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_source_server Documentation] too.
 
'''April 15, 2008''' - Source Server completely functional and documented.
* Testing on VS Express (both 2005 and 2008) showed that srcsrv is not enabled in those versions.
* Minor tweak needed for Visual Studio 2005 where the srcsrv.dll from Debugging Tools for Windows needs to be copied to replace the srcsrv.dll (which is older) that ships with VS. The newer srcsrv.dll is able to handle %fnchdir% properly and appears to work just fine with VS.
* Important note - the box "Require that source code match original source code exactly" in the Debugging options of Visual Studio must be unchecked otherwise VS says it can't find any code.
* [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_source_server Documentation] for WinDBG was written by Ted, Timelyx contacted me two days ago and said he would test the srcsrv sometime later this week. Hopefully feedback will indicate that this functionality is of use to some developers.
* Ted [http://blog.mozilla.com/ted/2008/04/15/debugging-nightly-builds-with-the-source-server/ blogged] about it
* I will post my presentation material here by Friday
 
Minor loose ends: Cross indexing on MDC so the doc can be found easier, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426648 SVN bug 426648] is still outstanding
