Release Notes
Public
9.0.16.4456: Aug 06 2020
New
macOS - Installers: Our installers are now notarized!
Nothing else changed, but now you won't get a security warning on macOS Catalina and higher. Nice.
New
Windows - Plastic: We updated example screenshots in the theme selector dialog!
Check out the Preferences > Theme dialog to see how the new Plastic themes look now.
New
All platforms - Plastic, Gluon: Now, a change on an ignored path doesn't force an auto-refresh.
Now the auto-refresh option doesn't refresh the Pending Changes when the change in the workspace was on an ignored path. You can modify, delete, or add, an ignored item and Plastic will not refresh the pending changes view.
New
All platforms - WebAdmin: we updated the references to 'admin password' configuration tool!
The old way of setting the web admin password was to run the adminconsolepwd utility. This tool was deprecated a few releases back, and you should now use plasticd adminpwd.
We updated some help text in Web Admin to reference the correct tool.
Bug
All platforms - GitSync: The 'cm sync' failed if the user who launched the operation hadn't been used before.
The 'cm sync' command failed with the following error:
The user ruben appears as an inactive user because his/her license has been deactivated. Please activate it and then try again.
This happened because the current Plastic SCM user was wrongly added as inactive, so the next call to the server was rejected since it detected the user as inactive.
This only happened if the Plastic SCM user hadn't been used before in the destination server of the sync operation.
Bug
Windows - Plastic, Gluon: The diff tool configuration for Excel files now works.
Diffing an Excel file launches the SpreadsheetCompare tool by default, if it is present on the client machine.
If you configure another tool just for Excel files then Plastic SCM should launch the specified tool instead of SpreadsheetCompare. However, this did not happen if you specified multiple extensions in your tool configuration.
I.e. if you configured a tool for ".xlsx;.xls" it would launch SpreadsheetCompare instead of your tool.
We fixed this, so now it will launch your configured tool whether configured for a single file type (".xlsx" or ".xls") or multiple types (".xlsx;.xls").
Bug
All platforms - Command line client: We fixed some typos in output messages!
A tool with less typos is a better tool, at least for your eyes!
