I just discovered that the core developers of eZ components have left eZ Systems, but have worked out an arrangement with eZ Systems to donate the source code to the Apache Software Foundation.

Subversion is a client-server open source version control system.

Subversion employs an optimistic approach to file locking to encourage concurrent development. Unlike Microsoft Visual Source Safe, one need not lock a file before editing by explicitly checking it out. In fact the term "check out" has very different meanings in VSS and SVN.

Netbeans is a powerful IDE (integrated development environment) that supports many languages. It got its start as a Java IDE, and in fact its written in Java, so it runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Netbeans is open source and free of licensing costs.

At the time of this writing, I am using Netbeans 6.8 for PHP development.

Subversion is now officially an Apache project, which is great news for the long-term support of this version control system.

As seen today on http://subversion.apache.org:

The Subversion project is pleased to announce that we have graduated from the Incubator at the Apache Software Foundation and are now officially Apache Subversion. Although this is largely a procedural step, it's an important one for our goal of making the ASF the permanent home of the Subversion community.
