Release Notes

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Enhanced diff visibility in Dark theme

Users reported difficulty in seeing the new GUI diff colors in the dark theme. To address this concern, several changes have been applied to enhance visibility:

* The base colors are now more solid and clear in the dark theme.

* A slight decrease in the diff alpha value increases the contrast between diffColor and insideDiffColor.

* The diff alpha value was also increased inside lines.

Windows - Desktop GUI, Gluon: Improved ignored.conf for Unity projects

An ignore.conf file is automatically generated for the workspace when it contains a Unity project in order to set up the files that should be ignored.

Now, we have included a new rule to ignore some internal Unity files that are created and deleted constantly under certain circumstances.

Windows - Desktop GUI, Gluon: Improved the auto-refresh for pending changes view

We improved the mechanism used to detect if there are new changes to check in the auto-refresh operation for the pending changes view.

Now, it's able to detect when there are only changes that affect ignored files, avoiding launching the auto-refresh operation in these cases.

Windows - Command-line client: diff and merge commands now uses the new merge tools

Previously, when you ran a diff from the CLI or a merge with conflicts, we were using the legacy GUI to show the diffs or merge conflicts. We updated this behavior to match macOS and Linux, and the new GUI is used.

Linux - Command-line client: Added support for lightweight platforms without libicu

Now you can run the command-line client (cm) in minimal distros without a valid globalization support library (libicu) installed in the system.

To do that, set the DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT environment variable to 1 in order to run the cm application.

More info about the configuration options for globalization can be found here

All Platforms - Command-line client: Allow revspecs collections on getfile | cat command

Before, it was possible to download file revisions one by one using the getfile command along with the --file option to specify the destination. Now, it is also possible to download a bunch of files by defining a whitespace-separated list of semicolon-separated pairs of revspec and destination.

For example:

C:\wkspaces\default> cm find revision
5        1/10/2024 1:35:11 PM dir all      c:\wkspaces\default\#br:/main#0
16       1/10/2024 1:38:42 PM dir tester   c:\wkspaces\default\#br:/main#1
15       1/10/2024 1:38:42 PM txt tester   c:\wkspaces\default\file.txt#br:/main#1
20       1/10/2024 1:39:28 PM dir tester   c:\wkspaces\default\#br:/main#2
19       1/10/2024 1:39:28 PM txt tester   c:\wkspaces\default\fghnfg.txt#br:/main#2
25       1/10/2024 1:40:44 PM dir tester   c:\wkspaces\default\#br:/main#3
24       1/10/2024 1:40:44 PM txt tester   c:\wkspaces\default\fghnfg.txt#br:/main#3
C:\wkspaces\default> cm getfile "revid:25@rep:default@repserver:localhost:8084;file_25.txt" "revid:16@rep:default@repserver:localhost:8084;file_16.txt"
C:\wkspaces\default> ucat .\file_16.txt

C:\wkspaces\default> ucat .\file_25.txt
