Welcome to Collaborator v9.0.9000! SmartBear Software is pleased to announce the release of Collaborator 9.0.9000, a new version with several great features! We are introducing our JSON API in this release. The API is an external facing API that can be used by our customers and partners to create integrations with 3rd party applications and tools. This might include integrations with IDEs, bug-tracking utilities or continuous integration servers. The API has also improved performance with Collaborator’s client to increase the speed of uploading files to a review. Our testing has revealed significant improvements when uploading changelists that contain 50 files or more. Details about using the JSON API We have also added support for Git and Eclipse. We have always allowed reviewers to participate in reviews from within the Eclipse IDE. However, Collaborator’s Eclipse plug-in has not supported the ability to create reviews from within Eclipse when the SCM is Git. Review Authors can now create reviews with staged changes (indexed files), commits and branches by right clicking and choosing ‘Add to Review’.

Welcome to Collaborator v13.6!Introducing Simulink Model Support! Collaborator v13.6 adds a new module that provides Simulink users a way to review models with the same ease & precision that they review code or documents. Additionally, our latest version improves document review scrolling and performance. Simulink Many Simulink users currently do not have an easy, comprehensive way to peer review Simulink models. Without a peer review tool, it can be tough to ensure the model is fully reviewed, and all issues are addressed. Collaborator’s new Simulink add-on offers engineers the ability to review Simulink Models effectively and thoroughly alongside other artifacts that are part of the development lifecycle. Simulink Models Document Reviews Traditionally, Collaborator has only been able to display one document page at a time. With v13.6, Collaborator now displays portions of the current and previous page or the current and next page. The added visibility delivers a more natural document review experience for end-users.
