Release Notes

Public

5.4.16.742: Apr 11 2016

New

Windows GUI: New 'Show in Branch Explorer' context menu option has been added in 'Branches', 'Changesets' and 'Labels' view. This action shows the selected branch, changeset or label in the 'Branch Explorer', scrolling to it directly (unless the object is not shown due to the current 'Display options' settings, such as date filter).

New

From now on, all filter configuration files ('ignore.conf', 'hidden_changes.conf', 'cloaked.conf', etc.) will check the global config as well as current workspace config and local client config files. A 'workspacetree' directory will be expected for each configured repository. Users/admins can store their config files inside it.

For instance, you can configure your 'plastic-global-config' repository to store a global cloaked configuration for all its repositories:

/allrepos/workspacetree/cloaked.conf

REMARK: Starting from release 5.4.16.760, the preferred location for these files is the corresponding workspace directory, not 'workspacetree' folder. (Although 'workspacetree' folder will be still supported for backwards compatibility reasons).

New

Windows Mergetool: Usability improvements:

* Diff/Merge: The deleted regions are now represented in the editors.

* Merge: Improved solved/unsolved conflicts visualization. When the conflict is pending to solve, a red line around the conflict is displayed. Once the conflict is solved, the line turns to green color. The border line is also visible in the result textbox.

* Merge: Added a new option in the editor options menu to allow the user to view border lines for unselected regions.

Bug

Windows Mergetool: When using the mergetool to diff two files semantically, the diff options panel, in the lower right, was not being displayed correctly. Fixed.
