Adding versions to patches

[charlesevans]

Is there any way (API, command line, etc) that would allow us to automatically add a new version into a patch file and add a list of files? I know you can build via the command line but having the functionality to add new versions from a build script would be really useful.

Not at this time. Although, since the project file is in XML format, it is certainly possible to add versions and files to a project by editing the XML within the project file. But there is no way to do it from the command line or using COM automation or anything of that sort.

It would also be possible to build a custom automated solution using DeltaMAX, which gives you an API to create and apply the diffs directly, although of course that is a more expensive option.

When will this feature become available... a command line interface to add new versions?

It's in our suggestions database (16897) but at this point we don't have a specific timeline, sorry.
