Release Notes

Command-line client: Shelvesets can be created from partial workspaces

Previously, it was not possible to perform a shelve operation in partial workspaces (such as Gluon workspaces). Now we are about to fully support shelves in partial workspaces, and we started with the creation of shelves.

Note that cm partial shelveset apply and cm partial shelveset delete subcommands are coming up.

Now it is possible to create a partial shelveset of foo.c

c:\wkspaces\partialwk> cm partial shelveset create foo.c

The selected items are about to be shelved. Please wait ...
| Confirming checkin operation 11 bytes/11 bytes [################################] 100 %
Modified c:\wkspaces\partialwk
Added c:\wkspaces\partialwk\foo.c
Created shelve sh:2@wk@localhost:8084 (mount:'/')

With the shelveset created, now we could apply it seamlessly to a regular workspace targeting the same repo:

c:\wkspaces\regularwk> cm shelveset apply sh:2

The item /foo.c#sh:2 has been added on source and will be added as result of the merge
Merging c:\wkspaces\regularwk\foo.c
The revision c:\wkspaces\regularwk\foo.c@sh:2 has been loaded

The creation subcommand (create | mk) is the default operation, so bear in mind that, if no subcommand is specified, it will try to perform the creation of a new shelveset.

For more examples, you can check the help:

cm partial shelveset --help

cm partial shelveset create --help

All platforms - Plastic: Added support for legacy plastic links

Some time ago we introduced the plastic links feature, which lets you click on links to directly open diffs or code reviews. A plastic link looks like the following:

plastic://codice@cloud/repos/codice/branches/main/scm24652/diff

Before this new feature, we already had another, more limited implementation of plastic links, that looked like the following:

plastic://showbranch=br:/main/scm24652@codice@codice@cloud

The latter was deprecated, and new versions of Plastic could not handle the old format.

We fixed this issue, and now you can open both legacy and new plastic links seamlessly

All platforms - Bamboo plugin: New plugin for Bamboo 8 is available!

We released a new plugin for Bamboo 8 that enables you to use Plastic SCM as source control for your build processes. You'll find it in the client installation dir, under plugins/bamboo81plugin.

The former plugin (under plugins/bambooplugin) only supports Bamboo 7.x or older.

Windows - Plastic: Open plastic links with last used GUI

When clicking on a plastic link, we were showing a dialog to ask the user whether to use the Legacy Plastic or the new PlasticX GUI to open it. We removed this dialog, and we will automatically open it with the last used GUI.

On macOS and Linux PlasticX is the official version, so plastic links are always opened with PlasticX
