Who we are

We are the developers of Plastic SCM, a full version control stack (not a Git variant). We work on the strongest branching and merging you can find, and a core that doesn't cringe with huge binaries and repos. We also develop the GUIs, mergetools and everything needed to give you the full version control stack.

If you want to give it a try, download it from here.

We also code SemanticMerge, and the gmaster Git client.

Plastic SCM 4.1.10.376 Release is out!!

Monday, December 03, 2012 Amalia 0 Comments

A new release of the 4.1 version is out: Plastic SCM 4.1.10.354!!!

The features of each Plastic SCM release, up to and including the latest version, can be found in the release notes page.

Besides the full release notes, this blog post will highlight some of the new features. Just in case you haven't downloaded this version yet, you can do that here.

Features

Move Detection

This new feature was suggested on User Voice: Improve file move detection (compare only same extensions)

Now, the move search by similar content can be restricted to the same file extension for text files, binary files or both. By default, the binary files are restricted to process only the files with same extension.

On the GUI, this behaviour can be configured using the commit preferences. Looking the following figure:


On the CLI, this behaviour can be configured on the status command using the following parameters:

  • --txtsameext: Only those text files that have the same extension will be taken into account by the similarity content matching process during the moved items search. By default any text file will be processed.
  • --binanyext: Any binary file will be taken into account by the similarity content matching process during the moved items search.

By default, only those binary files that have the same extension will be processed.


Bugs

Branch Explorer: wrong key navigation with relevant changesets

On Branch Explorer View, navigation keys did not work properly when the "Display only relevant changesets" option was enabled. Fixed.

WebUI: remove repository description

The repository description has been removed so it was pointless.

WebUI: raw data

When downloading raw data of a .zip or .dll file, the name suggested by the Internet browser was "Raw" instead of the item name. Fixed: the name was only set if the content type was octet-stream, which was not correct.


Enjoy it!!
