Release Notes

Public

7.0.16.2877: Dec 27 2018

New

DevOps: A new mergebot -named 'conflictsbot'- has been added to the built-in mergebots catalog!

'conflictsbot' it's a read-only mergebot that detects merge conflicts at early stages in the development lifecycle of your task branches.

Probably you heard about it in our blog, where its motivation and behavior is explained in detail.

Now, we provide the 'conflictsbot' as a built-in mergebot, to simplify deployment & configuration.

New

Gluon GUI: Remove a help message that appeared in the Checkin View but it didn't apply (only valid for Plastic Pending Changes View, slightly different).

New

Linux GUI: Finally linux applications (plastic, gluon and mergetool) have Semantic Diffs included! Available for C#, Java and Vb.Net files! C and C++ will come really soon :)

New

Cloud Edition Plastic GUI: We improved the Welcome dialog -the one that pops up after a new Cloud Edition installation- usability for users that want a workspace directly connected to the Cloud (e.g. avoid a push/pull setup). Now you'll find the cloud repos in the "Repository" drop-down list of the "Just create a workspace" tab.

New

Plastic & Gluon for Windows/linux/macOS: Added the full path in the item preview file properties.

This solves the following UserVoice request: Display full file path (Gluon)

Bug

Windows GUI: When creating a new workspace from the welcome dialog, and selecting a repository from a server different than the default one, it was ignored (it was creating using the default server). Now it's fixed.

Bug

Gluon for Windows: Gluon failed to diff a recently added file from the checkin changes view. Now the option "Diff workspace contents" has been disabled for added files since it is not applicable.

Bug

Gluon for Windows: The first time you opened gluon the workspace status info and the "switch branch" button were not displayed. Now it's fixed.

Bug

Gluon for Windows: The "Checkin changes" view was overlapped by the title when it was displayed as a side view (launched from the "Explore workspace" view). Now it's fixed.

Bug

Windows diffs: "An Item with same key has already been added" exception that happened having moved regions with differences and collapsing regions has been fixed!

Bug

Gluon (all platforms): If you displaying the search dialog while the configuration is loading, then it didn't produce any search result. Now it's fixed.

Bug

Windows, linux, macOS: The Branch Explorer used the UTC time zone to place changesets in the appropriate date column. This is especially important when working in a distributed team with different time zones: changesets could appear the day before. Now the Branch Explorer uses the local time zone to find out the actual date of a changeset.

Bug

Plastic/Gluon for Windows and Gluon for Gtk: Plastic and Gluon failed to calculate the preview for those images that were set as readonly in the filesystem. A "access is denied" error was displayed instead. Now it's fixed. This issue did not affected to macOS.

Bug

Windows: The GUI could throw an unexpected error when refreshing the Branch Explorer view when the mouse pointer is not visible. Now it's fixed.
