Release Notes

All platforms - .NET Core Server: Our brand new, .NET Core-based Plastic SCM server received new superpowers! Now it has the WebAdmin and WebUI available - and DevOps (mergebots)! (Unless you run it on macOS, where we still didn't enable the mergebots).

You can learn more about the .NET Core-based Plastic SCM server and how to install it in this blogpost.

All Platforms - Server: You can now run the Plastic proxy as a subcommand "proxy" of plasticd.

What is the Plastic proxy? See here: https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/administration/plastic-scm-version-control-administrator-guide#Chapter4:Usingaproxyserver

Usage:

The arguments to "plasticd proxy" are exactly the same as for "plasticcached":

Windows - Plastic: The Plastic client periodically checks the license on the server, and if doesn't find any license, it shows an appropriate warning message in the notification area. Sadly, failing to connect to the server would also produce the same message, even if a license did exist, which was confusing.

We fixed this. Now, if the client can't connect to the server, it tells you it can't connect. If it connects and finds that there is no license, well, it tells you that you have no license.

macOS - Plastic: The new Code Review system for macOS is no longer an experimental feature! We removed the warning panel in the top of the Window saying that. However, the feature is still recent, so do not hesitate to report any possible problem to support at codicesoftware dot com.
