Introduction

Software projects are displayed by Gource as an animated tree with the root directory of the project at its centre. Directories appear as branches with files as leaves. Developers can be seen working on the tree at the times they contributed to the project.

Gource includes built-in log generation support for Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and SVN. Gource can also parse logs produced by several third party tools for CVS repositories.

14 June 2018

Gource 0.49 has been released.

Changes since 0.48:

• Fixed compatibility with GLM 0.9.9.0.

Downloads:

• gource-0.49.tar.gz

13 February 2018

Gource 0.48 has been released.

Changes since 0.47:

• Can now generate logs from git sub module directories.
• Fixed building with GLM 0.9.9.

UPDATE: this release was partly made to allow building with GLM 0.9.9 (which is in alpha). Unfortunately, on further testing it was discovered that it is unstable with this version due to a change to the library removing default constructors of vectors, resulting in uninitialized values being used. The current release of GLM 0.9.8 should be fine.

• Added --file-show-filter REGEX option (swoogles).
