Release Notes

Linux native Merge Tool available in preview mode: The new Linux native 3-way mergetool (a.k.a. 'gtkmergetool') is available and it is installed as the default tool on new installations. For existing installations remember to go to preferences and choose the "default" merge tool to use the new software.

While the new tool is fully functional there are some small remarks and limitations to keep in mind. They do not prevent users to start testing the new tool and providing feedback though:

* The tool doesn't remember the size yet. It always shows up with the same size regardless of the last one you set. It will be fixed on the next release.

* Xmerge is still not available. We'll be adding these soon. Remember, we refer to the technology capable of tracking moved code based on a text-based similarity algorithms.

Linux GUI (GTK) and Mac OS GUI: New context menu options on the 'Branch Explorer' view have been added. Now it is possible to navigate to the branch's base changeset, and changesets allow navigating to their parent changeset.

Gluon GUI and Windows GUI: Image preview has been greatly improved. Now, thumbnails are created in higher quality, and the preview panel can be resized to better see the picture details. Also, small icons are displayed at its real size, instead of zoomed.

Gluon: Selected item in checkin view is preserved (if possible) after refresh, checkin and undo operations. Also, after deleting an item in the checkin view, its parent or a suitable item is selected.

Usability improvement: when you do your first push or push to Plastic Cloud and need to configure encryption settings, the replica is retried after entering the password instead of failing and letting the user do the retry.

JIRA extension: The checkin data log in JIRA will now show a warning message if the communication with the issue tracker system detects an error.

Unity plugin: the 'Gluon mode' configuration parameter is now an optional parameter. By default, the 'Gluon mode' parameter is set to 'false'.

Mac OS Installer: Added clconfigureclient application shorcut to /usr/local/bin, so it can be launched from any working directory.

Mac OS Command Line Interface: The cm command line client application can now be run in Mac OS El Capitan. Prior to this version, the cm application was not calculating properly the working directory used for relative paths arguments.

Windows GUI: Added shortcuts to navigate first/previous/next/last file in diff and code review dialogs.

* Ctrl + Shift + '-' : Go to the first file.

* Ctrl + Shift + '+' : Go to the last file.

* Ctrl + '-' : Go to the previous file.

* Ctrl + '+' : Go to the next file.

Command Line Client: cm fast-import command: lightweight tags (using the 'reset' + 'from' keywords) are now supported.

All GUI clients: 'Size' columns now appear aligned to the right on all Plastic SCM GUI's.
