It is compatible with Delphi 5-7 and C++ Builder 5-6 with Professional and Enterprise editions. Integrating into main IDE menu, main IDE toolbar, Code Editor, Form Designer and Project Manager Athlant features equally support various version control systems. Great experience of Devrace in the area of integration with Borland® Delphi™ and Borland® C++ Builder IDE helps to make Athlant really useful and convenient.

Athlant Professional

Devrace™ Athlant™ Professional includes Athlant™ Server. Using Athlant Server developers can see actual status of any file in Athlant Manager if this file is being operated on by another user in the network. Besides Athlant Server implements Athlant messaging system, which allows sending messages to other developers.

Athlant Personal

Devrace™ Athlant™ Personal includes all general functions for source control and it is very convenient for developers, who are working alone. If programmers are working in a group, but they do not need the internal messaging system and automatic synchronization of file states, Athlant Personal can be a good choice. This Athlant edition is smaller and cheaper.

Devrace™ Athlant™ brings Borland® Delphi™ and Borland® C++ Builder developers to a new level of version control technologies.
