Black Duck Software (www.blackducksoftware.com) has updated Protex, its code analysis engine .

Protex version 5.1 has been enhanced to accommodate the following features:

-- Faster -- for enterprise users running code scans and analysis on very
large data sets, performance enhancements will speed searches on
computer-intensive activities -- such as calculating a Bill of Materials
for a complex software application -- by up to a factor of five.

-- Improved search -- The Protex 5.1 Advanced Search function, based on
Lucene 2.9, offers the ability to use leading wildcard characters and
allows improved query structure. Named searches can now be 250
characters in length.

-- KnowledgeBase enhancements to the Suite include 10,000 new projects, 600 new sites and over 300 new open source licenses. This version also shows release dates for projects allowing users to more easily match their code with a specific release. With the most comprehensive KnowledgeBase in the industry, customers have increased confidence in the code analysis results versus competitive offerings.

BlackDuck provides products and services to facilitate the management, governance and secure use of open source software. It also powers Koders.com, a code search engine for open source.
