9.0.16.4815: Dec 18 2020
New
Linux - Plastic: more permission dialogs arrive to Linux!
We have added a permissions dialog to the Linux GUI so that you can edit your object permissions from the GUI, rather than the command line.
Check out the Security Guide to see how you can you permissions to better secure your data.
You can control permissions for repositories, branches, labels and attributes. You can open the permissions dialog from the context menu in the Branch Explorer, Branches, Labels and Attributes view. Enjoy!
Here are some screenshots:

But wait, there's more!
We also added the ability to edit the path permissions for repositories! This way you can see all the existing path permissions for a repository from one place!
This is how it looks:
This is part of our ongoing effort to reach feature parity across all platforms.
New
All platforms - P4 sync: P4 Sync using CLI can retrieve changeset metadata now!
We improved the Perforce sync operation. Now, it's able to retrieve metadata of a changeset using the P4 CLI client.
New
Command-line client: The 'fast-import' and 'fast-export' commands now include new options!
For example:
* The --nodata option lets you execute the commands without importing or exporting the data to verify that they will run correctly later with the data.
* The --from option exports from a particular changeset.
Run the following to get more information:
cm fast-import --help cm fast-export --help
Bug
macOS - Plastic: We fixed a bug in which moving files appeared as locally deleted on the pending changes view.
On macOS Catalina, when you moved a file using Plastic, the Pending Changes view wrongly showed it as locally deleted. This happened when you opened the pending changes view before moving the file. Let's see a case:
- 1º Open pending changes view
- 2º Open workspace explorer
- 3º Cut file /dirA/file1
- 4º Past file at /dirB
- 5º Open pending changes view
Before this fix, the pending changes wrongly showed /dirB/file1 as locally deleted. Now, the pending changes correctly view shows the moved file from /dirA/file1 to /dirB/file1.
This error only affected the macOS Catalina since Plastic version 9.0.16.4488.
Bug
All platforms - Command line client: Deleting a branch from outside a workspace now works OK.
To do so, you must use the full branch specification:
cm branch delete main/mybranch@rep:myrepo@server
Bug
Windows - Plastic: Fix conditional changeset format panel's description text.
This text was cut out when it's container's was not wide enough:
Now the description wraps and it is fully visible:
