You asked for it – now it’s here: Besides bugfixes and minor changes, SourceMeet provides a great new feature in the current 0.9.9.7 Release: TCP (HTTP) Communication support.

We are really excited about this new feature as it gives you the opportunity to use SourceMeet either with TCP or UDP. It’s up to you and your network policy on top of which protocol you want to transfer data within the SourceMeet Peer-to-Peer Overlay Network. Open UDP Port(s) are no longer required!

FAQs

How can I switch between UDP and TCP (HTTP)?

Open the Options Page (via the SourceMeet Project Group Explorer Toolbar or VisualStudio Main Menu: Tools/Options/SourceMeet) and select your preferred connection type.

Should I use UDP or TCP as preferred connection type?

In view of connection speed and reliability we strongly recommend UDP as preferred connection type.

I don’t know if my network/firewall settings support UDP or TCP traffic. What should I do?

We recommend using UDP as preferred connection type. During the connection process SourceMeet will validate if a UDP connection is supported. If not - a dialog will appear asking you to change to HTTP Tunnel.

...since you last heard any news from us. But not 9 long months of us taking it easy or being on holiday. No, actually quite the contrary - a lot has been going on at NISE these last 9 months. New colleagues, partners and shareholders have come on board, we've expanded our office space, realized super exciting projects for our clients, pushed SourceMeet forward and advanced terrifically content and strategy-wise.

In brief: We're still here and hope you are too.

Stick around. Be curious. The journey continues. We're looking forward to an exciting future.

More soon!

Even though it might look as if the InstantReview scene has been fairly quiet in the past few weeks, and we haven't released a new version since February, this definitely doesn't mean that we have stopped working on InstantReview. In fact, the opposite is true.
We were totally overwhelmed by the initial feedback we received. Without any major PR overhead we succeeded in attracting developers and development teams from dozens of countries who have made sensational contributions, demonstrating much patience and putting in some really hard work in the process.

We would like to say a big thank you to everybody right now! We have learned a great deal from your feedback!

The most important realization for us was that InstantReview is not used as originally intended for real-time code reviews, but has instead found a niche for itself in team-based software development - and that things like fast interaction capabilities within a team and context-dependent features are more important than review sessions with n documents or a change history. Unfortunately, and despite our very agile process, these changes took more time and resources than we originally planned.
This realignment means that "InstantReview" is not exactly the ideal name for the product, so we decided to make a change here, too. Because we are all snowed under with work, and because developers can't always tap into their full creative potential to come up with a new name, we asked the 12designer  community for some help here and launched a name finding competition. From around 200(!) suggestions, we fairly quickly agreed on SourceMeet as the new product name, and we are proud to be able to announce it today for the first time:

InstantReview will soon become SourceMeet

Over the next few days and weeks, the "InstantReview" label will be disappearing step by step to be completely replaced by "SourceMeet" when the next major beta is released.
