New

Mac & GTK Plastic SCM GUI: The replication dialog is now available. Branches can be replicated (pulled or pushed) by right-clicking on them in the 'branches' and 'branch explorer' views and using the 'Replication' submenu.

New

Mac & GTK Plastic SCM GUI: Now, the history view shows info about 'moved' and 'removed' operations.

New

GTK Plastic SCM GUI: Now, when the rule of the 'branch explorer' filter is being changed, the extension panel is opened in order to save the changes.

New

GUI: Usability: The 'diff branch' feature were showing changes among merged changesets belonging to the same diffed branch in separate 'merge from' nodes, which was confusing. Now, these changes are shown together, out of those 'merge from' nodes, as they belong to the same branch indeed.

Bug

Mac Plastic SCM GUI: Fixed an unexpected error message in the branch explorer view. It was raised when selecting a branch, changeset or label if the user didn't extend the 'properties' panel before.

Bug

Mac & GTK Plastic SCM GUI: The context menu of the history view should not be available for directories. Fixed.

Bug

Mac Plastic SCM GUI: Fixed a crash that happens sometimes closing the 'preferences' window:

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS

Bug

Merge: Fixed an error performing a 'merge-to' operation when the source contributor has performed complex 'move' and 'add' operations with directories.

Example:

* Initial structure:
/
/src
/src/engine


* Changes in source contributor:
move /src/engine -> /src2
del /src
move /src2 -> /src
add /src/foo.c

Performing a 'merge-to' operation from the source contributor to the initial structure, was causing an error.

Now the error has been fixed and the 'merge-to' operation can be successfully completed.
