Release Notes
Public
5.4.16.693: Sep 25 2015
New
Gluon: Now, the checkout operation skips the item that cannot acquire the exclusive checkout. Similarly, the checkin operation now also skips locally changed items that cannot acquire exclusive checkout.
New
Gluon: Command Line Interface (cm partial command): Now, locally changed items in conflict with commited server changes can be discarded using the option -–ignorefailed. When this option is set, the checkin operation will discard the changes in conflict and will finish the operation without them.
(Before, locally changed items in conflict with the server changes caused the checkin operation to fail and be rolled back).
New
Windows GUI: Improved highlight colors for search results in 'Branch explorer' view. Changed some default colors used for the filters and conditional format rules.
New
Windows GUI: Autocomments for checkin operation are now auto-refreshed with the new branch name and datetime when switching from a branch to another branch.
New
Merge operation: Now, file conflicts could be resolved with 'Preserve workspace changes' and 'Preserve source changes' options even when no merge tools are defined for those conflicting files.
New
Replication: Now, the replication operation will fail at the beginning of the operation if the remote server uses encryption and the local server has not been properly configured to work with remote server's encryption. (Previously, the replication operation failed after 'processing metadata' step).
Bug
Windows Installer: SemanticSCM: The Plastic SCM Windows Installer did not include the necessary YamlDotNet libraries to allow external parser interaction. Fixed.
Bug
Windows Installer: Reviewed .NET Framework dependencies for Plastic SCM Windows Installer. The server component and some other components (such as SCC plugin and Office plugins) requires .NET Framework 3.5 (CLR 2.0 version), which is not enabled by default in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
The installer will ask for the .NET Framework 3.5 if any of these components are selected to be installed.
Moreover, fixed the 'vsixpackager.exe' application, which is used to install the Visual Studio Package component, so the installer won't require .NET Framework 3.5 if this component is selected to be installed.
Bug
Windows GUI: several fixes on theme configuration have been performed (changed some colors in 'Pending changes' view and 'Diff' viewers).
