Release Notes

All platforms - Server: New htop command for plasticd shell.

Just run plasticd shell in your server, then htop and a beautiful console based UI as follows will show up:

It is also possible to analyze specific requests and filter:

All platforms - Command line client: "checkout" command can recurse into piped directory arguments.

Previously "checkout" would ignore the recursive flag when arguments were piped in from standard input, but now we do the recursion.

Example:

 Directory of c:/mcga/pipe

11/05/2020  19:48    <DIR>          .
11/05/2020  19:48    <DIR>          ..
11/05/2020  17:57    <DIR>          dir
11/05/2020  19:46    <DIR>          dir2
11/05/2020  19:47                12 dirlist
               1 File(s)             12 bytes
               4 Dir(s)  23,714,631,680 bytes free

Linux - Server: Now multiple servers can run in the same port.

network.conf learns to do ReuseAddress. This is only valid for multi-instance setups on Linux at this point, something we're using for our cloud2 efforts.

All platforms - Server: override for LDAP user filter.

To support LDAP setups that are not compatible with our default LDAP user search filters, we have added a limited ability to override the filter with a user specified filter.

Warning: this should be considered an expert level feature, and only used if you really know what you are doing, and ideally after consultation with our Support team.

The filter override is specified in the server.conf file by adding the following xml fragment inside the ServerConfigData element:

 <LdapSettings>
   <MemberNameFilterOverride>_user_filter_</MemberNameFilterOverride>
 </LdapSettings>
 

For example, LDAP setups without the "uid" attribute can use the following filter:

(|(sAMAccountName={user})(cn={user}))

Cloud 2: Now Cloud 2 supports webtriggers!

Cloud 2 is the new Cloud that you'll be using soon (did the "2" in the name gave it away?)

Some of you are already using it, and it now supports webtriggers.

As an example:

> cm trigger create before-mkrep SampleWebTrigger "webtrigger http://www.mocky.io/v2/5ec257c42f00002a00c351ab"

..creates a web trigger. If the webtrigger fails, the operation won't finish. In this case, the repository won't be created.

If you write an error message in the response, the error message will pass down to the user.

You can learn more about webtriggers in the documentation.

All platforms - Server, Command line client, GUI: Refactored the way to parse servers.

Each "server:port" is parsed by a class called PlasticServer. We refactored and cleaned up the code and removed a bunch of singletons.
