User and password texboxes will be shown to fill in the user's LDAP credentials.

New
Command line client: Improved format string for lrep and lwk commands.
Now, descriptive names like {repname} or {wkname} can be used instead of numbers in the format string. Improved default output format for this commands. Check the commands help for more info.
New
Command line client: The cm status command now prints current directory relative paths by default, instead of workspace root relative paths.
Nevertheless, workspace root relative paths still can be printed by specifying the --wrp (or ----wkrootrelativepaths ) flag.
Also, full paths can be also printed by specifying the --fp (or --fullpaths )
Remarks:
1) cm status --xml command will still print workspace root relative paths by default. The --fp (or --fullpaths ) will print absolute paths instead.
2) The cm status --machinereadable and cm status --short commands will remain unchanged, and they will print absolute paths (as they are commonly used for automation purpouses).
New
Command line client: The cm diff command now prints workspace root relative paths by default, instead of full workspace paths.
Nevertheless, full workspace paths still can be printed by specifying the --fp (or --fullpaths ) flag.
New
Command line client: The cm log command now prints workspace root relative paths by default, instead of full workspace paths.
Nevertheless, full workspace paths still can be printed by specifying the --fp (or --fullpaths ) flag.
Repository paths can be forcibly printed if the --repositorypaths flag is specified. This flag will override the --fp flag.
New
Server: The umtool's changeuserpassword command syntax has been modified modified. The new syntax is umtool changeuserpassword username newpassword newpassword
Now, to reset a user password on the UP configuration mode is not necesary to provide the old user password, since the command is executed by an admin user. However, you will need to repeat the new password in the command arguments.
The changeuserpassword has changed its alias to passwd.
Finally, the command can now be run in interactive mode if you don't provide any arguments.
New
Linux: Added Debian 8.1 compatibility. Please have a look at the linux package installation instructions: https://www.plasticscm.com/plastic-for-linux/index.html
