New

Command Line: A new command, named 'restore' or 'rs', has been added to the command line client. Its purpose is to restore an item to a previous revision.

Examples:

cm restore itemid:68#cs:2 C:\mywks\dir\myfile.pdf
cm rs revid:304 C:\mywks\Dir

To get further information, please check the documentation ('cm help rs').

New

Gluon: Added 'undo changes' option to the context menu of the 'workspace explorer' view.

New

GUI: The 'Create workspace' dialog elements have been reordered. The text input fields will be autocompleted if the user doesn't manually alter them.

New

Mac & GTK GUI's: The 'search' feature of the 'Branch explorer' view has been improved. Now, the results are updated after refreshing the view or applying changes in the options. Also, the caption of the changeset is taken into account in the search operation.

New

Mac & GTK GUI's: Usability: the 'Preferences' window has been improved:

* Added a 'Save' button to the 'Diff tools' and 'Merge tools' tab views.

* Replaced the 'Apply' button with the 'Ok' button, which saves the changes performed in all the tab views and closes the 'Preferences' window afterwards.

New

The default ssl certificate generated by the Plastic SCM server has been changed to use a more secured algorithm (SHA256 instead of SHA1).

Now, the 'Secured' Plastic channel supports the TLS protocol. (Previously, only the SSL3 was supported).

New

Windows GUI: Now, the GUI can be opened even when the server connection is not available.

Mac & GTK GUI's: Now, both GUI's are able to reconnect to the server when the connection is lost.

Bug

Gluon: Checkin operation: Gluon was not properly setting the read-only attribute for items to be checked-in whose contents haven't changed. Fixed. Now, the read-only attribute for those items is set according to user preferences ("Update and Checkin operations set files as read-only" preference).

Bug

Mac & GTK GUI's: The 'end date enablement' setting of the Branch explorer's display options is not taken into account when the Branch explorer is loaded. Fixed.
