Mono 4 upgrade
As you probably know by now, Plastic SCM requires Mono, the open source.NET Framework implementation, in order to run on non-Windows platforms: Linux, Mac, OpenBSD... Our public repositories distributed Mono version 3.0.3 so far, which we had thoroughly tested to be completely sure it could run Plastic SCM flawlessly.
However, as our GTK# GUI grew, we bumped into compatibility problems and minor issues that prevented users from having the best Plastic SCM experience. This is the reason why we decided to upgrade the shipped Mono version to version 4.3.0. Quite a leap, isn't it? :D
We've built new packages to allow Fedora, RedHat/CentOS, OpenSUSE, Debian and Ubuntu users to easily upgrade their installations, starting with version 5.4.16.726. These new packages will conflict with the previous Mono 3 ones, so the upgrade operation might require manual package dependency resolution. Don't worry, we'll walk you through it!
Alternatively, if you've never installed Plastic SCM on your Linux machine before, you just need to follow the installation instructions available on our website.
Important: This walkthrough will assume that both Plastic SCM and SemanticMerge are currently installed in your machine. If that's not the case, you can of course adapt the instructions to skip the software you don't currently have.
