Release Notes

Command-line client: Partial checkin allows --private option

Previously, it was not possible to use --private option in a partial checkin command. Now it is available and ready to use.

For instance:

c:\wkspaces\partialwk> echo "return 1;" > foo.c
c:\wkspaces\partialwk> cm partial ci --private
The selected items are about to be checked in. Please wait ...
| Confirming checkin operation 11 bytes/11 bytes [################################] 100 %Modified c:\wkspaces\partialwk
Added c:\wkspaces\partialwk\foo.c
Created changeset cs:1@br:/main@repo1@localhost:8084 (mount:'/')

For more examples, you can check the help:

cm partial checkin --help

Command-line client: Shelvesets can be applied to partial workspaces

Previously, it was not possible to apply a shelveset in partial workspaces (such as Gluon workspaces). Now we fully allow them (from the creation to the application).

c:\wkspaces\partialwk> cm partial shelveset apply sh:2

The apply operation tries to apply all the shelveset changes in the workspace if possible. However, changes can be skipped if they are related to items that are not configured in the workspace (they are silently ignored) or if they collide with local workspace changes (they are properly reported)

c:\wkspaces\partialwk> cm partial shelveset apply sh:2
The item won't be downloaded/moved because there is another item loaded in the same path: 'asset/texture/forest'. Please unload the item and retry the operation.

For more examples, you can check the help:

cm partial shelveset apply --help

Windows - Plastic: Enable changelists for locally modified files

You can now move locally modified (changed, moved, deleted) files into user-defined changelists.

All platforms - PlasticX, GluonX: Enable changelists for locally modified files

You can now move locally modified (changed, moved, deleted) files into user-defined changelists.

All platforms - Command line client: Server connection profiles management reaches the command line!

We added the new cm profile command. It has three subcommands that allow you to manage your server connection profiles from the command line client.

The command 'profile list' lists the connection profiles you have configured:

$ cm profile list
1  bananapi.codicefactory.com:8087       sergio  UPWorkingMode
2  udt://development_org@localhost:8089  sergio  UPWorkingMode
3  skullcito.codicefactory.com:9095      sluisp  LDAPWorkingMode

The 'profile list' command has several formatting options. Check cm profile list --help for further information.

The command 'profile remove' helps you to remove a configured connection profile. It works by specifying the profile index provided by cm profile list:

$ cm profile remove 2

And 'profile create' helps you to create a new connection profile, either interactively or specifying all the necessary information through options:

$ cm profile create
Enter server address: skullcito.codicefactory.com:9095
Enter credentials to connect to server [skullcito.codicefactory.com:9095]
User: sluisp
Password: *****************
Profile 'skullcito.codicefactory.com:9095_LDAPWorkingMode' correctly created

Check cm profile create --help for further information about the options you can use to create profiles.

Windows - PlasticX: PlasticX is now the official GUI on Windows

When you perform a clean installation of Plastic on a Windows machine, PlasticX will be the default GUI to open after the installation. Also, plastic links will be handled with this GUI.

When upgrading from a previous version, the last used GUI will still be the one that opens when running the Plastic executable

In the "changeset by changeset" mode for the diff and the code review windows, if a changeset comment started with an empty line you couldn't see it in the changeset list. We fixed it.
