[manu]

Hello!

I'm glad to announce the new public release! It has some cool new features, please take a look into the release notes below:

External Release 4.0.239.2 (Jan 24th 2011)

====================================================

New

Now it is possible to switch to a certain changeset from the GUI, as it

is done for a branch.

New

Plastic CLI: From now on, the mklabel command will create the label

attached to a changeset always as the GUI does. If --changeset is not

specified, the command must be executed in a workspace (the label is

created attached to the current changeset).

The --allselectorrepositories switch has been renamed to

--allxlinkedrepositories in order to apply the label to all xlinked

repositories.

New

Diff command supports a full branch name, showing the differences of

that branch. Example:

cm diff br:/main/mytask

New

The queries preferences will be saved per any single workspace.

From now on, it is possible to set different default queries in each

workspace.

New

Shell Extension: Now it is possible to checkin a folder that contains

controlled changes inside.

New

ReviewBoard plugin has been adapted to Plastic SCM 4.0. You can create

reviews from a specific changeset or branch typing the following

command within a workspace:

post-review --username=<user> --server=http://<reviewboard_server>:<port>

[cs:cset_num | branch_full_name ]

The plugin is included in the ReviewBoard tool itself, so this plugin

will not be available until a new version of ReviewBoard is released.

Optionally, you can ask us for the code and simply replace the

plastic.py files.

New

Jenkins plugin adapted to Plastic SCM 4.0. It will be ready as soon as

the changes are integrated in the Jenkins project, but in the meantime

you can ask support for the plugin.

New

The Admin tool now has a shortcut in Windows included in the Start

menu, Programs, Plastic SCM and finally Server tools.

New

Java-related plugins: Added more log entries. The logger name is

"PlasticSCMJavaCore". Fixed a potential deadlock when syncing the java

core with cm.exe process.

Performance:

The fast-import performance has been greatly improved.

Bug

Subtractive merge for writable xlinks has been fixed. The merge of

multiple writable XLinks that has been modified only on source has been

fixed.

Bug

Unco error with directories on checkout without changes inside has been

fixed.

Bug

Replica: There was a problem with unknown users that could be caused by

a fast-import. The problem was only reproducible in Active Directory

authentication mode.

Bug

Plastic GUI: After renaming the current branch, it was neccessary to

update the selector in order to continue working because otherwise the

branch was not found. Fixd: an update automatically takes place after

renaming the current branch.

Bug

Plastic GUI: If the file paths were too long they were not displayed

in the progress dialog. Fixed: long paths appear with ellipsis.

Bug

Plastic GUI: Do not permit to rename objects (branch/label...) with an

empty name. Fixed.

Bug

Branch Explorer: A crash with a huge diagrams has been fixed.

Bug

XLinks: An error message appeared when trying to checkin a readonly

xlink creation from the GUI when it was the only change. Fixed.

Bug

Fast-import: After performing a fast-import the following changeset

created had number 1 instead of the last one. Fixed.

Bug

FogBugZ extension: Altough the extension was working fine, the test

connection was broken. Fixed.

Bug

TeamCity plugin: it was labelling always the changeset loaded in the

workspace, which could not be the changeset used in the build.

The plugin has been changed to label the appropriate changeset: the

one that has been tested in the build.

Bug

Admin tool: When started the application, a DOS console was opened.

Also, the main form had the default WinForms icon. Both fixed.
