Missing "Method History" in VS.NET 2010 after upgrading to PlasticSCM5

[immitev]

It seems the context menu item "Method History" when right-clicking on a method name now is gone.

How can I bring it back?

 

Cheers!

Hi,

 

When you go to the download page, you will see two possibilities:

 

DOWNLOAD
DOWNLOAD (.NET 4 including methodhist)
 

 

Only .NET 4 version is compatible with method history: ( http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2013/10/new-semantic-methodhist-is-now-out.html )

 

 

IMPORTANT: Take into account that the Plastic SCM installer in .NET 4 explained below will not work with the "regpkg" mechanism in Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010, so be advised that the Visual Studio package won't work in those versions. This is due to the target framework used in this installer: .NET 4 is much newer than Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, and regpkg don't work in VS2010 with .NET 4 assemblies. For this reason, use Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 to use Method History from the IDE.

OK, I see, but this is a serious loss of functionality for users of VS.NET 2010.

It was one of my favorite PlasticSCM features in the IDE (maybe the only one I've used on a regular basis).

I really hope you use a different installation mechanism (why not the one in Plastic4) and bring back this feature in VS.NET 2010.

Hi,

 

 

I will discuss with the team if we can use a different mechanism. At the moment if you are using the new Method History and Plastic 5, I´m afraid you will need Visual Studio 2012/3

 

Sorry for the inconveniences.
