Perforce
Perforce is a software configuration management system that is fast, robust, runs on over 50 platforms, and scales to over 3000 users on a single repository. It supports atomic submits and works well over wide area networks, including the Internet.

Changes: Client workspaces have a new "SubmitOptions" field that allows users to specify how unchanged files should be handled on submit. "p4 submit" can also now detect files opened for branch/integrate that have been modified in the workspace. Submits can be up to 40% faster thanks to improvements in the database locking and buffering of the journal file. Several changes have been made to improve the management of remote depots, including better lock support and MaxScanRows/MaxResults support. The new MaxLockTime group property allows admins to limit the duration of locks held by members of the group.

Changes: The Perforce server can now log individual file access to an audit logfile. When this is enabled, the server logs every time file content is transfered to a client. The "p4 integrate" command was rewritten, leading to better performance, better recognition of previous integrations (resulting in fewer merges), and better base selection (resulting in simpler merges). The merge algorithm was also rewritten and produces fewer conflicts to resolve, making automatic merging ("p4 resolve -am") more likely to succeed.

Changes: This release includes a number of performance related changes, introduces support for external authentication schemes (e.g. LDAP/ActiveDirectory), and adds the many forms of UTF-16 to the list of supported client character sets. The main performance-related changes are optimization of head revision operations, speedup for the "p4 integrate" command, early release of db.working/db.resolve during sync, server performance tracking, and speedups for workspaces with many opened files.

I think Peforce should never be in the same sentence with. Clearcase.
Perforce is a seriously great product.
Clearcase is inherently wrong. Everything in it. Is there to make your life more difficult so you complain to your manager and the corporation has to hire a ClearCase consultant and spend more money on it.

Since 2005.1 it's been increased to two users and five workspaces and Perforce is 100% free (as in beer) for Open Source use.

Thanks!
License
The license for Perforce isnt really free for non-commercial use. It is a license free for up to two users and two client workspaces.
Other than that, perforce rocks. It is something of a mix between subversion and ClearCase.
