Des Moines, Iowa. April 21, 2020 - GForge (https://www.gforge.com), one of the world’s leading collaboration platforms, today announced the newest version of the popular GForge Collaboration and Project Management Platform. One of the most used Collaboration Platforms, especially by companies within the government and defense sectors, this new version (GForge 2020) adds critical new features to make GForge even easier to use and more powerful.

Some of the impressive new features include Zoom support which enables GForge users to create and manage Zoom meetings from inside the GForge platform. Other important new features include browser based spellchecking support and oAuth support (users can now log into GForge using their Google account.)

To improve user efficiency, the new Autotagging feature enables users to easily tag the user, project and ticket with any technologies identified in the commit (e.g. Java, XML, JavaScript). GForge now indexes Git and SVN repositories allowing users to search your codebase right from GForge.

GForge now supports Large File Storage (LFS) for Git repositories. For on-premises customers, GForge now supports DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) which provides a very high level of security for GForge-generated email.
