Release Notes

All platforms - All clients: We have enhanced how exceptions are communicated from the server to the client.

Now, if you are running against an updated server that has exception messages your client doesn't know about, your client will still be able to show you a helpful error message. The message will be localized to the server locale, rather than the client locale, but this is better than the previous behavior, which was to show an unhelpful generic message in this case.

All platforms - Plastic: The new Code Review system (available on Windows only at this point, when you launch the Plastic GUI with --codereview) allows you to request "changes".

It is just a special comment where you request the author to make a change, and the system tracks if the change was really applied or not.

Changes are identified with a GUID, to let you refer to them later when doing checkins.

To mark a change as "done" you simply add a special comment to your checkin. Suppose you want to checkin code to fix the change request GUID c0d1ce00-b457-4424-99ff-a3f1c0fa2582.

All you must do is to enter a comment like this:

    [apply-change:c0d1ce00-b457-4424-99ff-a3f1c0fa2582]

Or even in a shorter form:

    [apply-change:c0d1ce00]

As you see, there is a long format and a short format. The long format requires specifying the whole GUID, whilst the short format only requires the first 8 bytes.

If you specify a change request comment that doesn't exist, the checkin will fail.

If you delete a changeset referenced by a change request through this method, the changeset id related to said change request will be reset.

All platforms - Plastic: Corrected the English text shown in the code review module when a file has no associated review comments.

Windows - Plastic: The new Code Review system now allows you to navigate to the applied change when you double-click the change in the list.

Remember, right now, you need to launch the application with "plastic --codereview" to enjoy the new feature.

macOS, Linux - Plastic, Gluon: We changed the Items view delete confirmation dialog to be more consistent with the Windows version
