Release Notes

Windows GUI: dynamic diff window to help diffing code in multi-screen setups.

You can show the diffs from a branch or changeset, move the window to a second screen, and the diffs will be updated when you select a different changeset or branch. This is super useful to review changes.

The diff window will be updated if you select a different branch in Branch Explorer or the branches view, and same for changesets. It works for shelves too.

You can skip this behavior launching the diff window using Shift + DoubleClick. When there are more than one "dynamic" diff, the diffs won't be updated.

Mac OS GUI: When right clicking an item in any view (items, branches, changesets) the selection did not change. Some users requested to change this behavior.

Now, when you right click an item in a view, the selection is changed, and then its context menu is displayed.

Eclipse plugin: Added support to find locally moved, renamed and deleted files. You can find these options clicking the "options" buttons in the pending changes view.

Jenkins plugin: Each build will publish environment variables containing the data of the built changeset for each configured workspace. These are the exposed variables of the main workspace for the project:

    PLASTICSCM_CHANGESET_ID: Number of the currently built changeset
    PLASTICSCM_CHANGESET_GUID: GUID of the currently built changeset
    PLASTICSCM_BRANCH: Name of the branch in Plastic SCM
    PLASTICSCM_AUTHOR: Name of the user who created the currently built changeset
    PLASTICSCM_REPSPEC: The configured repository specification for the current build.

Additional workspaces will include their position in the list, like this:

    PLASTICSCM_1_CHANGESET_GUID
    PLASTICSCM_5_AUTHOR
    PLASTICSCM_9_CHANGESET_ID

etc.

Command Line Interface: The checkin result will return the created changesets list as a comma-separated list when the --machinereadable parameter is present.
