Release Notes

GitServer is out! The Plastic SCM server can now be configured to work as a Git server and attend push/pull operations directly from Git clients.

It means that you can use the Plastic SCM server as the central server for teams with mixed Plastic and Git users.

But even more important: GitServer works as a universal connector so that any Git compatible tool can now be connected to Plastic. Consider Continuous Integration software, code analysis, DevOps, and so on.

Issue trackers: Included support for multiples repositories for Polarion ALM issue tracker extension. Now it is possible to configure this feature by unchecking the 'Default Repository' checkbox from the 'Preferences' > 'Issue Trackers' dialog.

Issue trackers: Polarion ALM extension is now bundled with Linux (GTK) GUI.

Labels: Plastic SCM now allows label names to have slash ('/') characters.

Windows GUI: The 'Update operation report' dialog now shows workspace-relative paths instead of absolute paths.

Windows GUI: new 'Save as...' option in the 'Browse repository' window, so you can now save to disk file revisions while browsing a branch or changeset.

Proxy server: A whitelist feature has been implemented to automatically accept remote SSL certificates. To do so, create a file named plasticcached.trustedservers.conf in the proxy server binaries directory. Each line should contain a single hostname. Empty lines and lines starting with the '#' character will be ignored.

Example:

productionserver.mydomain.com
pre.productionserver.mydomain.com

#currently non-trusted servers:
#dev.mydomain.com

Mergetool: New conflict resolution actions implemented for Linux, Mac and Windows mergetools:

* Keep source contributor & exit -> selects the complete source contents as the merge result.

* Keep base contributor & exit -> selects the complete base contents as the merge result.

* Keep destination contributor & exit -> selects the complete destinaion contents as the merge result.

In Windows mergetool, this feature is available in the 'Save & exit' button.

In Lunux and Mac mergetools, there is a new 'Merge' button in the toolbar to select the desired option, if any.

Linux (GTK) Mergetool: improved 'search' feature on diff and merge windows:

* Pressing Ctrl + F keys after selecting some text automatically fills the 'search' textbox with the selected text, and search matches are highlighted in the target contributor textbox in a single step.

* Pressing Enter navigates to the next match.

* Tooltips to the 'search' buttons added.
