Release Notes
Public
5.4.16.806: Jan 23 2017
New
The server can now force a given minimum client build number, so that sysadmins can better handle upgrades and make sure their users are updated to at least a given build number.
The 'server.conf' flag can now be configured not only with "true" and "false" but also with a given build number as follows:
<ForceBuildNumberMatch>800</ForceBuildNumberMatch>
Remark: this check forces both clients and other servers connecting to this one, to be at least upgraded to a given build number.
New
Plastic Tube Windows GUI improvements.
Implemented a number of improvements in the Tube GUI:
* When editing the access to a repo you are sharing with someone, the button to apply changes now says "Apply" instead of "Edit" which was confusing.
* Each time you share a repo with a new user, or remove a user, or edit his access, the selection of the repo is kept.
* If a server is not reachable, the process continues. Before it failed, which made it hard to use.
* Much better progress for remote servers: now the GUI shows which remote server (tube) and repo is accessing, instead of just being silent as before.
* Now it is easy to see if a remote user is connected or not. Connected users are displayed first and a different icon is used.
