Release Notes

All platforms - Plastic: We added extra info about Privacy Statement in the Sign-Up screens.

All platforms - Cloud2: Soon you will be able to recover deleted repositories!

Right now, if you delete a repository by mistake, you need to contact support to bring it back. Soon, you will have up to two weeks (14 natural days!) to resurrect (or "undelete", as we called it on the GUI) a deleted repository. Once these 14 days pass, the repository data and metadata will get removed forever.

All platforms - Server: We implemented a token renewal system!

There's still work to do, but we are getting closer to renewing the full token system.

We actually implemented this because the new tokens in cloud2 expired during long replicas, which was not good.

All platforms - Plastic: the "Pending changes" view now does fewer calls to the server!

The refresh of the "Pending changes" view now performs half of the original number of calls to the server.

This decrease in calls improves the refresh performance over a slow network. Besides that, it reduces the server load. As a result, the server is able to handle more user requests with the same resources.

All platforms - Client and Server: We added experimental support for UDT and Secured UDT for Plastic Protocol!

UDT was historically supported only on Windows servers. We changed that a few releases ago, but still it only worked with the about-to-be-deprecated Remoting protocol, which means it was not possible to use it with .NET Core builds. Also, it was not secured.

Now this changes and you can both configure a regular server and a .net core one to support UDT. Our preference is to run it on .net core buids.

== How to configure remoting.conf ==

Required only for .net servers: add a new channel to the xml in remoting.conf

                <channel type="Codice.Channels.UdtChannel,plasticpipe" port="1024" name="udt1024">
                    <serverProviders>
                        <formatter type = "PlasticPipe.Remoting.PlasticBinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider, plasticpipe" typeFilterLevel="Full" Compression="sinklevel" SerializationObjectsAtSink="true" />
                        <provider type = "Codice.CM.Server.ExceptionTracerSinkProvider, servercommon" />
                    </serverProviders>
                    <clientProviders>
                        <provider type="PlasticPipe.Remoting.ClientSinkProvider, plasticpipe" />
                        <formatter ref="binary" />
                    </clientProviders>
                </channel>

== How to configure for .net core servers ==

Modify your network.conf to add this:

[
  {
    "security": "ssl",
    "type": "udt",
    "port": 7751,
  },
]

Where security can also be "none"

== How to use it from the client ==

# Regular connections:
> cm.exe repo list udt://192.168.221.142:7751

# Secured connections:
cm.exe repo list sudt://192.168.221.142:7751

Remark: this is still pretty much experimental!

Windows - Plastic: We disabled the controls on the Pending Changes view when refreshing its contents!

Clicking on "Checkin", "Undo changes" or the refresh button while the Pending changes view is being refreshed does nothing. We now disable those controls during the refresh, to avoid confusion.
