All platforms - Cloud server: Now the Plastic SCM Cloud Server won't abort write operations if there is a backup in progress.

All platforms - Cloud server: There is a small chance that the Cloud server can start backing up one of your repositories while you are working on it. This chance is small because the Cloud server analyzes repository usage tendencies to predict the best time to backup data without interrupting your work. However, no prediction is perfect. If you encountered that unfortunate scenario you are familiar with this error message:

All platforms - Cloud server: This is now fixed. If you try to perform a write operation on a repository that is undergoing a backup, your operation will wait a grace period for the backup to finish before throwing an error back to you.

• Windows

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: == REQUIREMENTS ==

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: To create symlinks, Windows 10 build 14972 or newer is required. You also need to enable Developer Mode (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development).

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: == HOW TO ENABLE THE FEATURE ==

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: Symlink support will be enabled by default in forthcoming versions. For now, you can add the following key to your client.conf:

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: Note 1: GUI support is still in progress. By enabling the feature and using symlinks you might experience glitches in the GUI.

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: Note 2: PlasticFS still does not support symlinks and this feature might interfere with its proper behavior. You might need to mount your workspace right under a volume specifier. For instance:

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: Note 3: If you enable this feature, symlinks placeholders will eventually be promoted as private files. If you still have any in your workspace, you can remove them and let Plastic to recreate them as actual symlinks.

• Windows

Windows - Command-line client: Note 4: If you disable this feature, dangling symlinks in your workspace might deceive the Plastic client. Remember to erase them immediately after.
