The Perforce Server can now log individual file access to produce an audit trail, which is helpful to companies struggling to comply with regulations surrounding Sarbanes-Oxley.
When auditing is enabled, a log record is created every time a file is accessed on the server, enabling Perforce administrators to answer questions such as: 'Which of my users have accessed this file recently, and what other files are they working with?'.
Perforce's inter-file branching and merging model is key to successful parallel development.
In this release, the branching and merging logic has been streamlined, resulting in a faster 'integrate' command and better merge base selection.
The Perforce Web Client (P4Web) now includes RSS functionality, which enables users to track jobs and changelists by subscribing to RSS feeds from within P4Web.

The latest version of the plug-in features advanced file checkout where users can now change filetypes and select changelists from within the plug-in.
Perforce version 2006.1 is available now.
Interested developers are invited to download and evaluate Perforce free from the Perforce website without obligation for a 45-day trial.
