Help & Manual 5.1 with version control support

Salzburg, December 21, 2008

EC Software announces the immediate availability of Help & Manual version 5.1! The most important new feature of this new version is the integrated support for version control.

Integration of Microsoft Visual SourceSafe

In the Professional edition, Help & Manual supports Microsoft Visual SourceSafe and compatible version control systems. It uses the standard VSS API to implement version control directly into the user interface.

Integrated support for version control was one of the most wanted features since the release of Help & Manual 5 and its native XML editing capabilities.

New output format: EPUB

The standard format EPUB is now officially supported. Help & Manual creates EPUB e-books directly without external conversion tools and fully supports the EPUB standard including a table of contents.

EPUB is a standard e-book format established by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) and is widely supported by many software and hardware based reader applications and tools.

Help & Manual is one of the first commercial authoring tools implementing support for EPUB.
