Unity Version Control 11.0.16.7851

Official notes

New

  1. Removal

    All Platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control: Color Picker: Removed alpha channel slider

  2. Removal

    All Platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control: In this release, alpha channel slider was removed for Color Picker controls

  3. Change

    Server: Allow to see the branch changes pending to integrate when it doesn't fulfill the merge rules.

  4. Change

    Server: The diff --integration (e.g., 'cm diff br:/main/task --integration') allow to see the pending changes to integrate for the given branch. But, when the branch doesn't fulfill the merge rules defined on the server (e.g., you need to review the branches prior to merge them into /main), you get the error "Cannot perform the merge because of the Merge Rules. Review the branch '/main/task' to merge it to '/main'." when you try to see the changes pending to integrate on a branch without a code review.

  5. Change

    Server: Now the diff --integration works, no matter if the server has any merge rule enabled or if the branch fulfill those rules.

  6. Change

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: Improve visibility of current changeset or branch

  7. Feature

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: We added some visual cues to the Branches and Changesets view so that you can more easily see which is your current branch or changeset.

  8. Change

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: We also applied the same style change to the item history view in Gluon.

  9. Change

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: Highlight path changes for moved items

  10. Feature

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: We added highlighting to the paths for moved items so that you can more easily see which parts of the path were changed.

  11. Change

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: This applies to the Pending Changes, Merge, Diff and Incoming Changes views in Unity DevOps Version Control and Gluon.

  12. Feature

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control: Notification added to invite users to try the new Code Review experience.

  13. Feature

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control: We have added a notification bar that invites users to try out our enhanced Code Review experience from the Unity Dashboard:

  14. Change

    All platforms - Command line client: Revamped the client configuration from the command line.

  15. Improvement

    All platforms - Command line client: We improved the way of configuring the client interactively from the command line client ( `cm configure` ).

  16. Change

    All platforms - Command line client: The first change is that now you are not asked for the repository server specification in different steps. Take this as an example - this is what you had to do before to configure a SSL server:

  17. Change

    All platforms - Command line client: You had to specify a plain TCP port despite the server might not be even listening on one. Then you were asked whether or not you wanted to use SSL, and only then you could specify the port you really wanted to use. This process was both slow and error prone.

  18. Change

    All platforms - Command line client: This is what you need to do now to achieve the same:

  19. Change

    All platforms - Command line client: Additionally, if your server requires connection credentials (User and password, or email and password), the command line client checks that the credentials are correct before saving any configuration - letting you retry if you fail to type in your user or password.

  20. Change

    All platforms - Command line client: And last but not least the `cm configure` command now supports configuring your client directly against a Cloud organization (using email and password, Unity ID, or any other Single Sign-On mechanism you might have configured). Before these changes, only email and password were allowed for configuring your client directly against the Unity DevOps Version Control Cloud servers.

  21. Change

    Windows - Wwise plugin: New location for the Wwise plugin

    • Windows
  22. Change

    Windows - Wwise plugin: From this version on, the Wwise plugin compatible with version 2021 and below can be found in the PlasticSCM installation folder, under the path "client/plugins/wwise".

    • Windows
  23. Change

    Windows - Wwise plugin: New plugin for Wwise 2022

    • Windows
  24. Change

    Windows - Wwise plugin: We are pleased to announce the first release of the Unity DevOps Version Control Plugin for Wwise compatible with version 2022.

    • Windows
  25. Change

    Windows - Wwise plugin: This new plugin can be found in the PlasticSCM installation folder, under the path "client/plugins/wwise2022".

    • Windows
  26. Improvement

    Command-line client: Update command improved for automation

  27. Feature

    Command-line client: Now moved files will be also regarded when option --xml is specified. On top of that, a new field "ChangeType" has been added in order to make the output more understandable and easier to parse. For instance, if we are 1 changeset behind the head and within the last changeset we renamed a file "math.c" to "stats.c" and moved "dice6Tex01.png" into "textures" folder, then we changed the content of dice6Tex01.png. When updating the workspace to the head, we could see something similar to the following:

  28. Change

    Command-line client: See --usage for details:

  29. Change

    Command-line client: Special considerations:

Command-line client

  1. Change

    Have in mind that every operation performed on an item will appear as different UpdatedItem nodes. As seen in the previous example, the file "dice6Tex01.png" is both relocated and changed in the same changeset, so it appears twice (one per operation) in the XML output.

  2. Feature

    If a controlled file has been deleted and added again with the same name (either with the same or different content), it will be reported both as a delete and an add operations. This is, the item will appear twice in the report, the same as it works in other commands such as 'cm partial update'. Before this code change, when the content of the file was identical, the file was not reported at all. When the content of the file was different, it was only reported as a change.

  3. Change

    If a file has the exact content of the revision we are updating it to (i.e. for revision X and revision Y the content of the file is "hello", and we are updating the file from revision X to revision Y), it is reported as a changed item. Before this code change the file was not reported as changed because Unity DevOps Version Control didn't need to download data from the repository server (the hashes from both revisions match).

Bug

  1. Change

    Server: Configure generates server.conf in one line

  2. Change

    Server: Breaking changes in the underlying .NET serialization library were removing indentation from the configuration file.

  3. Change

    Server: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/64885

  4. Change

    Server: A different approach was used to avoid the issue.

  5. Fix

    All platforms - Gluon: Fixed error when workspace was on a label

  6. Fix

    All platforms - Gluon: If you switch your workspace to a label on Unity DevOps Version Control and then try to convert it to a partial workspace to work on it from Gluon, we were showing an error and the workspace couldn't be updated. We fixed this issue, and now you can convert the workspace to partial and vice-versa without issues

  7. Change

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control: Eliminated file not found error launching diff from visual diff

  8. Change

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control: When launching a method diff from the visual diff panel a "file not found" error would be shown. There was no actual error, and the diff would be shown correctly. We stopped that erroneous error from appearing.

  9. Improvement

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: Improved the way we classify files with unknown extensions

  10. Improvement

    All platforms - Unity DevOps Version Control, Gluon: When adding new items from the Pending Changes view, if the extension is not one of the well-known extensions for text or binary files, we were always classifying the new files as binary. We improved this behavior, and now when the extension is unknown, we will check the contents of the file to determine if it should be classified as binary or text
