Release Notes

Public

8.0.16.3046: Mar 07 2019

New

macOS installers: Now all the pkg installers are signed.

New

We improved the data update phase in the check-in operation to improve how we handle network issues and try to reconnect if the network is gone for a few seconds. This was already implemented for check-in against our cloud, now it's available for any Plastic SCM server. Enjoy!

Remark: You'll need to upgrade your Plastic SCM client and server to take advantage of this feature.

New

Issue tracker extensions: The configuration files will encode/decode parameter values using URI-encoded strings. This means that you'll be able to use special characters, such as '#' (which is regularly used to start comments).

Bug

Plastic and Mergetool for linux and macOS: The diff editor automatically added the UTF-8 BOM (byte order mask) when the file was saved to disk. Now it's fixed.

Bug

Plastic GUI: Changing quickly the selected file in the diff window could sometimes display empty contents in the diff panel. This was incorrect and it happened particularly when the diff was calculated in a distant server (high latency). Now it’s fixed

Bug

Jira extension: protected queries to handle issue types project keys and "resolve status" names with special characters.
