CODICE SOFTWARE PROVIDES PLASTIC SCM USERS WITH A NEW AND IMPROVED RELEASE: PLASTIC SCM 2.5
A number of new and powerful features together with performance improvements result on a great upgrade for a full SCM solution Codice Software, the producer of the successful Software Configuration Management tool, Plastic SCM; has announced its release of version 2.5 of its award-winning product. Plastic SCM 2.5 introduces a number of new features and enhancements over the previous version 2.0 such as the new trigger system; it makes smart branches go mainstream and implements attribute support in the GUI. Triggers can be used to enforce processes and development rules, add extended information to your metadata with attributes, use them to keep SCM status in synch with testing, production, etc. and smart branches become the centre piece of the Plastic development model.
But the improvements on this new version go even further with more than 100 usability enhancements and the overall user experience has been polished, resulting on a faster and complete solution. This list includes some of the issues which are now included:
• New on Plastic SCM extensions:
- “Task on changeset” mode supported on Plastic SCM extensions
- Extensions enhancement working on Visual Studio, allowing the check in comments added on VS to be seen on the task associated on the task tracking tool.
- Trac Extension: SSPI and SSL connections supported.
- Bugzilla Extension: A Plastic SCM branch cannot be created if the Bugzilla extension is active and no task has been previously created in Bugzilla.
- DevTrac integration improved: tasks are linked from the branch explorer, not only from the branch view.
• Revert links on the 3D tree are now shown in red, different from the green merge links.
• Smart branch system documentation included on the user manual.
• “Differences” option on Changed Item´s View.
• The GUI merge dialogue allows selecting both source and destination contributors.
• Automatic “switch to branch” from the GUI, the selector only modifies the branches selected
