In the field of software development, the '''Concurrent Versions System''' ('''CVS'''), also known as the '''Concurrent Versioning System''', provides a version control system based on open-source code. Version control system software keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, and allows several developers (potentially widely separated in space and/or time) to collaborate. This means that the newest stuff, which are still in development, are available in CVS before they do in the stable release. CVS has become popular in the open source software world and is released under the [[GNU General Public License]]. ==FlightGear and CVS== [[FlightGear]]'s CVS is available [http://cvs.flightgear.org/viewvc/ here] and can be considered as the most up-to-date version of the flightsimulators source and [[aircraft]]. To run CVS aircraft the user need to use the CVS, to prevent bugs and faults. The [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=flightgear-cvslogs CVS Changelog] shows all updates made to the CVS repository. ==How to use FlightGear's CVS== Windows: Easy!
