Release Notes

Windows - Visual Studio 2022 plugin: Show semantic information in CodeLens

This new release enhances the plugin for Visual Studio 2022 showing semantic information above every class, method or property in your Plastic SCM projects!

The CodeLens annotations above every class, method or property in files controlled by Plastic SCM will show semantic information about its last change. This includes the change type, user who modified it, and change date.

Keep in mind that this feature will only show up in semantic-available files (C#, C, C++) that are in a Plastic SCM Workspace.

See it for yourself!

This new feature will be installed as part of the Visual Studio 2022 Plastic SCM extension if you select the option during the Plastic SCM installation process. Once installed, the Plastic SCM CodeLens provider can be enable/disable from Tools > Options > Text Editor - All Languages - CodeLens > Show Plastic SCM

Windows - Visual Studio 2022 plugin: Show semantic history in CodeLens

This new release takes the CodeLens information in the plugin for Visual Studio 2022 a step further. When you create the Plastic SCM data point above a method, property or type, it will display a list of up to 10 of the last changes in that element. This leverages the semantic technologies in Plastic SCM, showing only changes in the file that affect the annotated element.

Keep in mind that this feature will only show up in semantic-available files (C#, C, C++) that are in a Plastic SCM Workspace.

Take a look here!

Command-line client: Pagination/sorting added to 'cm find' command.

Every find object now complies with pagination, defining a 'limit' and an 'offset' to manage the result size and starting point. In addition, some objects (branch, changeset, label, review) will comply with 'order by' clause. Please, kindly refer to the 'cm find --help' and 'cm help showfindobjects' for further details.

For instance, the following command:

cm find label "where owner='me' limit 10 offset 20" 

Displays the 10 labels starting from the 21st where I am the owner.

Another example could be:

cm find branches "where owner='me' order by branchname desc limit 10"

Displays the first 10 branches I created, sorted by name in descendant order.

GitSync: Added '--gitpushchunk' parameter to export Plastic repositories to Git in smaller chunks.

This parameter allows to process the push operation (exporting changes from Plastic to Git) in chunks of a certain number of changesets instead of sending all the changes in one single package.

This is only useful for huge repos to avoid network or package size related issues or just for debugging purposes. It uses chunks of 1000 changesets if no value is specified.

cm sync myrepo@server:8087 git https://github.com/rubarax/repo.git --gitpushchunk
cm sync myrepo@server:8087 git https://github.com/rubarax/repo.git --gitpushchunk=100
