Release Notes

DevOps: TrunkBot now deletes shelvesets for Xlinks

When merging a task, the TrunkBot creates a shelveset that gets deleted when done. If the repository contains Xlinks, shelves are potentially created for each "xlinked" repository.

Before, the TrunkBot only removed the shelveset of the root repository, so the shelves of the "xlinked" repositories were left behind.

Now server and TrunkBot were improved so all shelvesets are properly cleaned.

Command-line client: Automatic shelve before switch (with pending changes).

The 'cm switch' and 'cm partial switch' commands now ask about shelving the workspace changes before continuing with the switch operation when there are pending changes in the workspace.

If the answer to the question is yes, it automatically shelves and undo your local changes before continuing with the switch operation.

This new behavior only happens if the following option is set in the client.conf configuration file.

<PendingChangesOnSwitchAction>Shelve</PendingChangesOnSwitchAction>

The shelve question can be skipped if the switch commands are executed with the '--noinput' option. In this case, the shelve + undo are run by default before the switch operation.

MacOS - Plastic: Automated update workflow

The update workflow has been improved on MacOS! It automatically downloads the latest release and executes it, whenever an update is available, and the user wishes to update.

All Platforms - Plastic/PlasticX/GluonX: Semantic supports C# 9, and 10 versions!

We modified Semantic Diff/Merge to support the new features introduced in the C# (9, and 10), and VB (16.9) languages for all platforms.

Here is a sample for C# 9 files with target-typed new expressions, and top-level statements (program without Main method):

Here is a sample for C# 10 files with global using, file-scoped namespace, and constant interpolated strings:

All platforms - PlasticX, GluonX: Removed the repositories view from the switcher window

When you clicked on the workspaces drop down at the top and selected "View repositories..." you would see the switcher window with a list of all the repositories you can access. This information was redundant, because you can also see the repositories from the home view. We removed the repositories view from the switcher window, and now it only displays the list of your workspaces

All Platforms - Plastic: Check for update option
