9.0.16.4599: Oct 13 2020
New
Windows - Plastic: We eliminated GUI freeze during branch query!
We fixed an issue where the GUI would freeze for a few seconds while running certain branch queries. The problem was that we were generating huge quantities of superfluous log entries. It could happen when the server in the query was not the server of the current workspace. We removed the excess logging and these queries now run without freezing the GUI.
New
Windows - Gluon: We enabled long path support for Gluon!
Now you can create and use Gluon workspaces in paths that exceed the traditional limit of 260 characters. Remember that this is only available for Windows 10 users starting on Anniversary Update (version 1607, a.k.a. Redstone 1), and that you must have long path support enabled at the OS level.
You can check your Windows 10 version by running winver on a terminal, and you can enable long path support by following these instructions.
New
All platforms - GitSync: We added retries when the GitHub LFS http requests fail due to transient errors.
New
Windows, macOS - Cloud Edition: Now we include clconfigureclient command-line utility in Cloud Edition!
Maybe you are a command-line hacker, maybe you are writing your own tooling. clconfigureclient is the command-line utility that lets you configure your Plastic SCM client. We hope you find this useful!
Bug
All platforms - Plastic: We fixed the number of merges in the Cloud Activity report.
The number of merges in activity reports was incorrect. You could find this number in the Cloud Edition Activity page or in the weekly activity report we email you if you've got an active Cloud Edition subscription.
We included all incoming changes calculations in those reports. However, those are automatic checks that the GUI performs in the background. It didn't make sense to count them as part of the merge operations you perform.
You should notice a decrease in the amount of reported merges you get once you install this version!
