Release Notes

Windows - Plastic: New Code Review system: applied some usability improvements code review window layout:

* The comments and summary panels are now collapsible in order to allow the user to increase the available size of the diff viewer.

* The summary panel is displayed as collapsed when there are no changes or questions to show.

* When the changes and questions lists are empty, we display an empty state message, instead of the empty list.

* The comment list will only appear when there are comments (old legacy review comments) to show. Note that the new Code Review system is designed to encourage users to use only 'Changes or Questions'.

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

All platforms - Plastic, Command line client: we made adding files to source control even faster by making the file type determination more efficient. In our testing, adding 300,000 files is now twice as fast.

All platforms - Plastic, Command line client: we were generating excessive quantities of log information when adding files to source control. We pruned this a bit, and have achieved some significant improvements in the performance of "cm add" in the CLI and "Add directory tree to source control" in the GUI when logging is enabled. In our testing, adding 300,000 files is around 5 times faster.

Linux - Plastic: We've made it easier to filter the Branch Explorer to show only those changesets you want. Now you can easily show changesets from the last week, 15 days, month, 3 months, or since any specific date.

Here's how it looks:

All platforms - Plastic: The Branch Explorer got enhanced! We extended the conditional format capabilities -which were previously available only for branches- to changesets and labels. You'll find new menu options in the "Custom format" button menu to add rules for labels or changesets using find-like queries. Give some color to your Branch Explorer!

Here is how it looks in Windows...

...in Linux...

...and in macOS!
