Release Notes
Public
5.4.16.724: Feb 02 2016
New
Windows GUI: Branch Explorer: Now it is possible to enable/disable format rules, inclusion and exclusion rules and reorder format rules.
To enable/disable a specific rule, go to the 'Filters and conditional format' tab in the 'Branch Explorer' options and just click on the checkbox located on the rule definition. Don't forget to click the 'Apply' button afterwards.
To reorder a format rule, use the button in the rule to move it up. Rules are evaluated from top to bottom order. It means, if a branch or changeset matches more than a rule, the first matching rule is applied, discarding the others.
New
Linux GUI (GTK): The diff tree view and the sync view tree menus now include keyboard shortcuts.
New
Linux GUI (GTK) and Mac GUI: New informative messages added to the diff viewer: 'identical revisions', 'filesystem permissions changed' and 'encoding changed'.
New
Mac MergeTool: A new options menu button has been added to select 'encoding', 'comparison method' and 'split conflict blocks'.
New
Mac MergeTool: Now it is possible to diff just two text files. To launch a diff just run the mergetool application using the -s=<path_to_left_file> and -d=<path_to_right_file> parameters to define the left and right contents to be diffed.
The MacMergetool is now also available as a default diff tool for text files in MacPlastic preferences.
New
Eclipse plugin: The eclipse plugin can now can import projects from a PSF file with CVS format. To use this feature, go to the 'Package explorer' and choose 'Import' -> 'Plastic SCM' -> 'Projects from a CVS team project set file'.
Bug
Server: plasticd running on Mono 4.3 had some issues stopping on several Linux distros. The threadpool failed to finish correctly, raising an exception which prevented network thread and open connections to be closed. This caused the server process to remain alive even when it was asked to stop. This made upgrades end up not updating binaries correctly. It should be fixed now.
Bug
Gluon: If the workspace explorer was configured to show items as a list, items appeared as 'not on disk' (with a red icon) after restarting the app. Now it's fixed.
Bug
Eclipse plugin: The diff viewer was throwing an error (NullReferenceException) when the diffs set had a xlink. Fixed.
Bug
Cloud: The push operation with more than 50 labels or branches in the replication package threw an 'object reference not set' exception. Fixed.
Bug
Cloud: Edit lock rules are failing on organizations with capital letters. Fixed.
