Unity Version Control 11.0.16.6718

All platforms - Server: Migrate database from SQLServer/MySQL to Jet

All platforms - Server: We enabled the database migration from supported SQL backends (MySQL and SQLServer) to Jet using the server's WebAdmin utility.

All platforms - Server: We plan to deprecate the SQL backends soon. So, if you're still running your on-prem Plastic Server with MySQL or SQLServer as database backend, we strongly recommend to migrate to Jet backend soon (our own embedded, super-fast repo storage).

All platforms - Server: To access to the migration tool, just open the Plastic Server's WebAdmin (Usually on `http://localhost:7178` ) >> `Configuration` >> `Repository Storage`

All platforms - Server: And then, click on `Change storage`

All platforms - Server: (You will only see this option if your server is using MySQL or SQLServer as database backend)

All platforms - Server: And finally, while migrating, you should see a screen like this:

Command-line client: Edited the help of the `transformed` formatting option of the `ls` command.

Command-line client: The `transformed` formatting option now includes a note about reading the Administrator guide to learn more about Transformable workspaces.

Windows - Proxy: Service management using plasticd proxy subcommands.

• Windows

Windows - Proxy: Now it is possible to install, uninstall, start & stop Plastic Proxy service by using `plasticd proxy` subcommands:

• Windows

Windows - Proxy: For further info about the Plastic Proxy see this link

• Windows

Windows - Proxy: For the proper way of working of the proxy server, remember creating a `plasticcached.network.conf` config file in the Plastic SCM server installation directory.

• Windows

Windows - Proxy: Example of `C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\server\plasticcached.network.conf` :

• Windows

Windows - Proxy: (You can find a copy of this example config file in `C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\server\config_samples` directory).

• Windows

macOS - PlasticX: Plastic links are handled by PlasticX

• macOS

macOS - PlasticX: Now, when clicking on a plastic link, it will be directly opened in PlasticX, without asking you with which version of Plastic you want to open it.

• macOS

Command-line client: Updated the help by removing the `{type}` format option of the `gettaskbranches` command.

Command-line client: Because all Plastic SCM branches are of type "smart" since a long time ago, we removed the `{type}` format option of the `gettaskbranches` command. This type displayed if a branch was "smart" or not.

Command-line client: Edited the help of the `log` , `ls` , and `history` commands.

Command-line client: We added a note in the help of the `log` , `ls` , and `history` commands to let you know that the options `--xml` and `--format` cannot be combined. These commands will ignore the `--format` option if you run them using both options.

`plasticd proxy --installservice` -> installs the "Plastic Proxy" service (it does not start it up)

`plasticd proxy --start` -> starts the "Plastic Proxy" service

`plasticd proxy --stop` -> stops the "Plastic Proxy" service

`plasticd proxy --restart` -> restarts the "Plastic Proxy" service

`plasticd proxy --status` -> prints the status of the "Plastic Proxy" service

`plasticd proxy --uninstallservice` -> stops and uninstalls the "Plastic Proxy" service

All platforms - Command-line client: The 'cm changelist' command could not add removed items to a changelist. That now works OK.

All platforms - Command-line client: Say for example you have a changelist named "TODO", and a removed item named "license.txt". The command below did not work:

All platforms - Plastic, PlasticX: corrected handling of multiple arguments in custom tools

All platforms - Plastic, PlasticX: External tools configured with multiple arguments were incorrectly having their arguments grouped into a single argument. We fixed that and now the arguments are correctly sent to the target executable.

All platforms - Web UI: Fixed issues with repo names with forward slashes

All platforms - Web UI: Fixed an issue where WebUI would hang when it encountered repo names that include forward slashes

Cloud Server: Fixed finding archived revisions.

Cloud Server: The `cm find revs where archived='T'` command didn't return anything if executed against a Cloud repo. It didn't matter if achived='T' or ='F' was specified, it returned zero results in both cases.

Cloud Server: Now, it behaves like on-premise servers and it returns the right results according to the specified find conditions.

Cloud Server: Bear in mind that these changes will affect only those files archived from this version. Old archived ones won't be affected and therefore not displayed as results.

All platforms - PlasticX: Preserve Properties and Attributes when refreshing the Branch Explorer.

All platforms - PlasticX: When refreshing the Branch Explorer, PlasticX lost the properties and attributes for the selected branch/changeset/label. Now it's fixed.

All platforms - PlasticX: Implemented Branch Explorer display options.

All platforms - PlasticX: Included the following options in the Branch Explorer:

All platforms - PlasticX: We also improved the text layout when the option "Display branch task info" is enabled. The branch name is displayed in bold text and the task info is displayed on grayed smaller text, to improve readability.

All platforms - PlasticX: See it in action:

All platforms - PlasticX: Visual feedback when cutting items

All platforms - PlasticX: When cutting items from the workspace explorer view, now there is a transparency effect in the icon of the elements that have been cut:

All platforms - PlasticX: Also, now you can clear the cut elements by pressing the Escape key.

PlasticX: Support over 100 image formats for Image Differences.

PlasticX: We added ImageMagick support for our "preview generators". That means that now we can display differences for over 100 major image file formats.

All platforms - PlasticX: Updated behavior of show shelves view button

All platforms - PlasticX: We updated the behavior of the "Show shelves" button in the pending changes view. Now, when the view is visible, the button is activated, and clicking on it again will close the view.

All platforms - PlasticX: Improved keyboard shortcuts

All platforms - PlasticX: We added a new shortcut in Workspace Explorer: now you can use Shift+Ctrl+S in Windows/Linux, or Shift+Cmd+S in Mac, if you want to quick access Open In Explorer

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

All platforms - PlasticX: We also exchanged shortcuts for Open and Checkout operations:

All platforms - PlasticX: Open: Shift+Ctrl+O in Windows/Linux, Shift+Cmd+O in Mac

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

All platforms - PlasticX: Checkout: Ctrl+O in Windows/Linux, Cmd+O in Mac

• Windows
