8.0.16.3200: May 16 2019

New

Command line client: back by popular demand, "cm status" has regained the "--all" option. "--all" is a handy shorthand for "--controlledchanged --changed --localdeleted --localmoved --private" when using the "status" command.

We removed "--all" in build 8.0.16.2999, but, to be honest, we probably shouldn't have, as it is actually pretty useful. Sorry about that.

New

Server: Logging subsystem: The loader.log.conf file appenders will now accept the following property in the "file" configuration: %property{NodeName}

This could be useful in multi-instance scenarios where several server nodes are configured to work in parallel.

Find below an example of a file appender configuration using the new property:

<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="plastic.errors.log.%property{NodeName}.txt" />

REMARK: To use this property in the file name value, the file type has to be set to log4net.Util.PatternString

New

Command line client: we've made it easy to run queries against all your repositories. Just use '*' as the repository name parameter:

c:\mcga>cm find branch on repositories '*'
4        03/05/2019 15:46:50 /main    all      default T
4        03/05/2019 16:00:39 /main    gwynt    testrepo T
13       03/05/2019 16:02:17 /bugfix  gwynt    testrepo T
4        03/05/2019 16:00:48 /main    gwynt    anothertestrepo T
4        03/05/2019 16:01:00 /main    gwynt    productionrepo T
13       03/05/2019 16:02:31 /newbranch gwynt    productionrepo T

In fact. you can use any wildcard expression:

c:\mcga>cm find branch on repositories '*test*'
4        03/05/2019 16:00:39 /main    gwynt    testrepo T
13       03/05/2019 16:02:17 /bugfix  gwynt    testrepo T
4        03/05/2019 16:00:48 /main    gwynt    anothertestrepo T

Total: 3

c:\mcga>cm find branch on repositories '*production*'
4        03/05/2019 16:01:00 /main    gwynt    productionrepo T
13       03/05/2019 16:02:31 /newbranch gwynt    productionrepo T

Bug

Plastic, Gluon - all platforms: When you use the items search to find a private item that is on disk, but is not present in the items view, because the items view is not refreshed, the item was not focused properly in the items view. Now it's fixed.
