Release Notes
Public
9.0.16.4643: Oct 30 2020
New
macOS - Plastic: Select user and groups now available!
We included group management in the dialog to select a user or group.
For now, you can use this dialog to change the reviewer of a code review. But soon, it will be also used from the permissions dialogs. We are working on it!
New
All platforms - Plastic, Gluon: We added early detection of the system language!
Now we detect your system's language the first time you run Plastic, and use it to show the onboarding panels.
Before this release, the language check was made after the configuration, and you had to restart the application to see the changes. Now you can configure Plastic SCM and start using it in the same language as your machine.
For now, Plastic SCM supports Spanish and English, but we are working on adding four new languages. Stay tuned for more!
New
Linux - Plastic: Added permission check before attempting a merge!
Before attempting a merge we check that you have permission to modify the file. This means we can provide an error message before running the merge process, rather than allowing you to resolve conflicts only to find you can't save the result.
New
Linux - Plastic: We modified the Incoming Changes notification bar colors!
The now match the colours in Windows, as you can see in the following screenshots:
Bug
Windows - Plastic: We fixed GUI performance issues because of the auto-refresh feature.
When the Pending Changes view was auto-refreshed, sometimes it performed some heavy calculations in the UI thread. it caused the app to be unresponsive for a few seconds. Now it's fixed!
Bug
Linux, Mac - Plastic: Avoid repeated error message when calculating merge.
If a problem is discovered while calculating the merge for incoming changes we display the issue. Unfortunately, dismissing the error message would refresh the view, cause the merge to be recalculated, and the error to displayed again. An endless loop. We fixed that.
Bug
Windows - Shell Extension: We fixed context menu item separator height!
The context menu items from our PlasticSCM Shell Extension displayed the separators using a wrong height value, making it uncomfortable to use.
We fixed it so those context menus now use a correct size for separators.
