Release Notes

Public

6.0.16.1055: Apr 25 2017

New

Gluon: now, "Checkin changes" is automatically refreshed each time the window gets the focus. This way manual refresh is no longer needed.

Many users requested this so we are going to test how well it goes, although we are not big fans of auto-refresh ourselves ;-). If everything goes fine, we will enable this in the Plastic GUIs too.

New

Windows GUI: the "Open with" and custom "Open with" menu items are now enabled for directories on disk. They are useful, for example, for opening a directory on software prepared to do so, such as some text editors.

You can add custom "Open with" options through the preferences dialog, under "Custom 'Open with...'".

New

Gluon and Windows GUI: now, the maximum file size to download generate the preview of a file when that file is not loaded in the workspace (configure mode in Gluon, "Repository browser" mode in Windows GUI) is configurable. To do that, add the following key to your client.conf file:

<MaxPreviewFileSize>1048576</MaxPreviewFileSize>

The default value is 1 MiB (1048576 bytes). It means that, if the selected, non-loaded file size is more than 1 MiB, it won't be downloaded to generate its preview (but you will still be able to see its icon, if any, its size, and its attributes)

New

Linux (GTK) GUI and Command Line Interface: The filesystem watcher has been re-enabled and tuned up so it doesn't prevent the applications from exiting.

New

Mac OS GUI: The application bundle has been renamed to PlasticSCM.app. The CLI scripts will be automatically updated accordingly.

Bug

Windows GUI: the changeset coloring by replication source on the Branch Explorer was working erratically. Fixed.

Bug

Windows GUI: Some icons couldn't be loaded if the computer is set to use the Turkish culture. Fixed.
