Release Notes

Public

8.0.16.2974: Feb 06 2019

New

Linux: Added an "Applications" shortcut to launch the Plastic SCM server administration page. This shortcut will open a browser on http://127.0.0.1:7178, which is the default admin page location of plastic server.

See screenshot below (Ubuntu):

REMARK: the shortcut internally uses xdg-open to launch a browser, which is likely to be installed on supported linux desktop environments. Otherwise, you will have to install it using the package manager of your distro.

New

Plastic (windows, gtk, osx): When a user switches to a changeset, the last changes on the branch won't be downloaded when the workspace is updated. When a user clicks the "update workspace" button in the items view and we detect that they had previously switched their workspace to a changeset, Plastic displays a help message to warn about this situation.

New

Plastic all platforms: Improved the performance calculating the cloud organization for a user in the welcome dialog.

New

Plastic for Windows: When you show the changesets for a branch (branches view -> right click -> view -> view changesets in this branch), the following options were disabled:

* Merge from this changeset

* Cherry pick from this changeset

* Advanced merge

Now it's fixed.

New

Plastic GUI, Gluon and CLI (Windows, Linux and macOS): Now all Plastic clients use the environment variable PLASTIC_HOME to load and save the settings.

If defined, Plastic will use the folder defined in the PLASTIC_HOME environment variable to save setting files. Otherwise, the default config folder will be used.

NOTE: The PLASTIC_HOME environment variable will is ignored by the java cm client (our java-based CLI).

Bug

Gluon for windows: If you set a filter in the Checkin View, after refreshing it, the filter was not re-applied. Now it's fixed.

Bug

Plastic for windows: The option "Filter only parents" in the Version tree 2D was not correctly saved/restored. Now it's fixed.

Bug

The update operation didn't report the proper error when downloading a file locked by another process and bigger than 4MB. Fixed.

Bug

Plastic, Gluon and CLI (all platforms): Fixed a performance issue. The client configuration file (client.conf) was parsed thousands of times due a bug in the code. Now it's fixed.
