Release Notes
Public
5.4.16.677: Jun 30 2015
New
Initial release of the Semantic version control initiative.
Now the Windows GUI includes built-in semantic diffing for C#, VB.net and Java. Each time you diff a branch, a changeset or a file from “pending changes” you’ll have the option to switch to semantic mode.
The new diff with semantic capabilities is able to:
* Match methods (declarations of any type in fact) to calculate the diffs. You moved a method down? No problem!
* Decorate the side by side text diff with symbols (A- added, D- deleted, C- changed, M- moved, R- renamed) to better understand the changes.
* Ignore code format changes such as indentation and EOL changes. Suppose you just split a method call in several lines without other changes – the diff will be ignored by default.
Important remark: This new feature forces the Plastic SCM GUI to depend on .NET 4.5.1 and higher.
