All platforms - Desktop GUI: Deleting a branch shows branch name

The dialog to confirm the deletion of a branch wasn't showing the name of the branch to be deleted. We now show this information in the explanation to make the operation safer.

We also added this branch information to the text shown in other deletion dialogs across the application.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Fixed broken documentation link

Corrected an outdated reference to the smart locks documentation in the help pages.

Command-line

Command-line: Fixed 'No such user' error for code review creations and updates

Corrected an issue in the the

cm codereview

command: the assignee validation was incorrectly performed against the default server configured in the

client.conf

, instead of the server associated with the code review. This caused an error if the user didn't exist in the default server. The system now resolves the assignee's SEID against the server associated with the code review. This prevents "No such users" errors when creating a new review or changing an existing review's assignee.

All Platforms - Server

All Platforms - Server: An overflow error prevented SEID checking under some Active Directory configurations.

In release 11.0.16.9785, we added a safeguard to prevent the server from hanging when Active Directory authentication stalled (due to a locked account during the AcceptSecurityContext phase).

However, certain Domain Controller

lockoutDuration

settings could overflow during this check. This blocked authentication when the AD controller requires an administrator to manually unlock the account.

This issue has now been fixed.

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Unity Version Control Plugin Rebranding

The plugin has been rebranded from Plastic SCM to Unity Version Control, reflecting the evolution of the version control system. This update brings a fresh identity and improved consistency across all Unity tools.

What's Changed:

Plugin Name: The plugin is now called "Unity Version Control" (previously "Plastic SCM Integration"), aligning with JetBrains Marketplace guidelines and providing a clearer, more concise name.
Visual Identity: Updated plugin logo and icons to match the current Unity Version Control branding, providing a consistent visual experience.
User Interface: All menu entries, context menus, dialog titles, and user-facing messages now display "Unity Version Control" instead of "Plastic SCM" throughout the plugin interface.
Bundle Name: The plugin bundle has been renamed from plastic4intellij-X.Y.Z.zip to
```
unity-version-control-X.Y.Z.zip
```
. The plugin remains in the same location, but if you have any scripts or automated processes that reference the old bundle name, you'll need to update them accordingly.
Automatic Project Migration: Existing projects configured with Plastic SCM are automatically migrated to Unity Version Control during plugin startup.
Plugin Version: Upgraded to version 2.1.0 to reflect the significance of this rebranding update.

All functionality remains the same—this is purely a rebranding update. Your workflows, settings, and project configurations will continue to work exactly as before.

Bug

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Random PluginException during plugin startup

Fixed a random PluginException that occurred during plugin startup when IntelliJ's VcsOperationLog tried to deserialize VcsOperation instances. The error was caused by default constructors passing null project arguments, which violated @NotNull constraints.

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Clone repository dialog shows "!NullReference:text_key" when opened from Rider Welcome view

The plugin now ensures localization is properly initialized when requesting the UVCS clone component, allowing the clone repository dialog to load all texts correctly when accessed from the Rider Welcome view.

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Rollback operation fails to undo folder movements

The rollback operation now correctly undoes both folder movements and file modifications. Previously, when rolling back changes after moving a controlled folder and modifying a child file, only the file changes were reverted while the folder movement remained.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Incorrect file status icons in Workspace Explorer

Fixed an issue where file status icons in Workspace Explorer displayed incorrectly when using a dynamic workspace. The icons could appear mismatched after switching views or refreshing. The update ensures the correct status is shown consistently by refreshing the relevant cells when file or status information changes.

Windows - plasticfs

Windows - plasticfs: Faster pending changes calculation

We have significantly sped up the pending change calculations, drastically improving the speed of both cm status and the Pending Changes view in dynamic workspaces.

On a medium-large dynamic workspace (over 10,000 directories and 60,000 files), cm status is now up to 68% faster than in the previous version!

Bug

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Fixed IDE freezes during internal operations

Fixed random IDE freezes that could occur during internal operations. The issue was caused by the plugin executing unnecessary version control operations on files that shouldn't be processed.

The fix improves plugin performance by automatically excluding the temporal files from version control processing.

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Diff data not loading properly with SSL connections in on-premise environments

The plugin now correctly loads diff data when the server connection is configured via SSL under an on-premise environment. Previously, when modifying files from Rider, the previous revision data (left side) was not loaded in the diff view. This occurred because for SSL connections, the revspec format includes the "ssl://" prefix and port with the ":" character.

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Files moved externally and then edited incorrectly shown as private

Files moved or renamed outside the IDE (e.g., using file explorer) and then edited within the IDE are now correctly displayed as changed (blue) in the Changes list instead of incorrectly showing as private (red). The plugin now properly detects external file moves/renames and executes the move command to maintain the file's controlled status. Additionally, rollback operations have been optimized to refresh only affected file revisions instead of the entire project structure, providing significant performance improvements for large projects.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Fixed broken documentation links

We've updated the Desktop GUI to resolve a couple of broken "Learn more" links and ensure all help references point to the current Unity Version Control documentation. This includes correcting outdated references related to smart locks and dynamic workspaces so that users are taken to accurate, maintained guidance.

Bug

All platforms - Server

All platforms - Server: Improve user credentials check when in Active Directory over LDAP to prevent thread lockouts

The server now detects locked Active Directory accounts before attempting to authenticate. It reads the domain's lockout policy settings and checks the account state prior to performing a Bind. If the account is already locked, the server skips the authentication attempt and returns a clear error message instead.

This change prevents unnecessary Bind calls against locked accounts, which in some cases could stall the server call for as long as the account remained locked.

All platforms – Command-line client

All platforms – Command-line client: Improved error handling when listing files from unavailable servers

Avoid "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" running cm ls on a workspace from an unavailable server.

All platforms - Desktop GUI and Gluon

All platforms - Desktop GUI and Gluon: Error opening Shelves view on older Plastic servers

Fixed an issue where opening the Shelves view could trigger the following error message: "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. (Parameter 'index')."

This occurred when using older versions of the Plastic server when the shelves view contained shelvesets sharing the same parent changeset.

The client now properly handles this scenario to prevent the error.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Seamless recovery when workspace folder is restored

Improved how workspaces are handled when their ".plastic" folder is renamed/deleted and later restored. Now, the client toolbar automatically recovers from the "unknown" state if the workspace folder is restored, delivering a more consistent experience across the GUI clients.

Linux - Desktop GUI

Linux - Desktop GUI: Fixed exception on upgrade dialog

When using the upgrade dialog to check for a new version, clicking the "Download" button was throwing an exception. On Linux, the expected behavior of this button is opening a browser with the download link of the newest version. We fixed the error and now the dialog behaves as intended

macOS - Desktop GUI

macOS - Desktop GUI: Cannot calculate semantic diffs for C language files.

The Desktop GUI applications where showing an error in macOS when trying to calculate semantic differences for C language files.

This problem only affected to macOS ARM systems. Now it's fixed.

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Rollback deleted files without IDE hang

Rolling back deleted files from the project could hang the IDE because the previous flow performed a Checkout before UndoCheckout. When the file was missing from disk the Checkout failed and blocked the operation. The plugin now avoids any prior check-out and restores the file data without attempting to check out a missing file first.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Enabled Undo when having private files selected

In the Pending Changes view you are able to Undo selected changes with the Undo button or with the "Undo changes" option of the context menu. When having private files selected, the context menu option was disabled, because private files cannot be undone - only deleted.

We changed this behavior and now the menu option is always enabled, as long as there is at least one controlled file selected, and it will only apply to the controlled files in the selection.

This behavior is now consistent with the Undo button.

Bug

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Incorrect or missing diff data for xlinked files

Fixed an issue where the diff view was displaying incorrect or missing diff data for xlinked files.

In some cases, the plugin showed differences against an unrelated file or highlighted all lines in the editor as modified.

The diff view now correctly compares the modified xlinked file against its proper base version for both legacy and unified organizations.

All platforms - Desktop GUI: Fixed exception when showing annotate of an xlink

When seeing the differences of a branch or a changeset, the diff view's context menu has an option to show the annotate of an item. If the selected item is an xlink, an exception was thrown.

It's not possible to show the annotate of an xlink from this view, so we disabled the menu option in this scenario.

All Platforms – All Clients

All Platforms – All Clients: Improved profiles.conf behavior

We've enhanced the client so that any changes made to your profiles.conf file are now detected instantly—no need to restart the application.

This means you can add new profiles from multiple clients simultaneously (cli, desktop apps), without worrying about overwriting each other's work.

To further simplify profile management, we now enforce a one-profile-per-server rule. Previously, it was possible to store multiple profiles for a single server, even though only one would be used, which could lead to confusion. With this update, the server name is used as the unique profile identifier, eliminating random suffixes and ensuring the correct profile is always active.

Please note: At this time, only one account per organization or server is supported.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Fixed spacing in release notes

Release notes displayed in the New Version dialog now include proper line breaks between entries. This improves readability and ensures each note is clearly separated.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Diff viewer scroll sync issue

Fixed an issue in the diff viewer where scrolling would remain at the bottom after navigating to the first line using keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+Home). Scrolling and diff alignment now work correctly when moving the caret, ensuring both Text Editors stay in sync.

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Avoid errors for temporary IDE sandbox files

Temporary sandbox files (for example, idea-sandbox) were sometimes detected as new and the plugin attempted to add them, causing failed adds for files that live outside VCS-controlled folders. The plugin now skips automatic adds when a file is not purely private. Move/check work runs on a background thread without showing a progress UI, and UI refreshes run on the EDT; normal VCS behavior for files under control is unchanged.

Users should no longer see spurious "The item [path] does not exist in the workspace" errors for temporary sandbox files, nor the distracting progress indicator or related VCS messages during build/debug cycles.

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Diff panel handles deleted binary files without error

Selecting a deleted binary file in Pending Changes previously caused the Diff panel to throw a NullPointerException because the plugin attempted to load a missing Revision/workspace info. The Diff panel now skips loading content for deleted binary revisions and displays a clear message instead of crashing.

All platforms - Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Preserve external file renames/moves during refresh instead of converting to delete+add

When a file was moved via the OS file explorer, the desktop app correctly marked it as Moved, but opening the Rider plugin converted it to a Delete + Add pair. This behavior has been corrected, during refresh, external renames/moves are now detected and preserved as a single move/rename operation, preventing spurious add/delete changes and keeping version history intact.

macOS Tahoe – Server

macOS Tahoe – Server: The server could not generate a self-signed certificate on macOS Tahoe.

In macOS Tahoe, the server failed to generate a self-signed certificate.

The server automatically generates a self-signed certificate when it is configured to listen on a secured port through

network.conf

and no other certificate settings are provided for that port. The same applies to the HTTPS port used by WebAdmin.


# network.conf[  {    "port": 8088,    "security": "ssl"  }]

Starting with macOS 26 (Tahoe), changes in the Keychain subsystem prevented the

plasticd

process from creating a valid self-signed certificate, resulting in the following error:


The specified item is no longer valid. It may have been deleted from the keychain.

This issue has now been fixed.

Bug

All Platforms - Server

All Platforms - Server: Fixed incorrect lock release in undo/check-in operations across workspaces.

Scenario addressed:

Two users, X and Y, and an admin, A.
X locks a file and then goes on holiday.
Y needs the file and asks the admin to unlock it (either with Release or Remove).
Y locks the file and begins working on it.
X returns, notices they have the file checked out (but not locked, as Y now holds the lock), and performs an Undo Checkout.
This mistakenly removes Y's lock, even though it was acquired in a different workspace.

Now, the check-in and undo operations only update or release locks that were acquired in the same workspace where the operation is executed. Locks from other workspaces are ignored.

All platforms - Command-line client

All platforms - Command-line client: Personal Access Tokens are now available from the command line for Cloud organizations

Personal Access Tokens (PATs) allow you to authenticate non-interactive workflows (CI/CD, scripts, tools) against our Cloud service without sharing your password or compromising any other credentials.

You can use the

cm accesstoken

command family to manage your tokens. The PATs feature is opt-in, and access is controlled by the organization administrator — more on that later!

The process starts by creating a PAT. When using the command line (the feature is not yet available in the Cloud web portal), you must specify a description and a lifetime for the token. In this example, the token will be valid for 30 days:


$ cm accesstoken create "My script PAT" 30d my-org@cloud          Id  2023d611-fa69-46c5-b8b4-4e405c780bb7 Description  My Script PAT       Owner  you@your-org.com  Created at  8/4/2025 4:10:57PM  Expires at  9/3/2025 4:10:57PMLast used at  Never

Once the PAT is created, you can reveal it. Revealing the PAT displays the actual token you can later use in your workflows:


$ cm accesstoken reveal 2023d611-fa69-46c5-b8b4-4e405c780bb7 my-org@cloudeyJhbGciOiJkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIAyMn0.KMUFsI-QV30$ cm ci -c="This checkin runs in our CI/CD VM" \    --username=you@your-org.com \    --token=eyJhbGciOiJkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIAyMn0.KMUFsI-QV30 \    --workingmode=LDAPWorkingMode \    --server=my-org@cloud

Users can audit their own tokens: list them, check when they were last used, and delete them. Organization administrators can audit both their own tokens and the tokens of other users in the organization.


$ cm accesstoken list my-org@cloud// A list with my own PATs$ cm accesstoken admin list-all my-org@cloud// A list with all the PATs in the organization$ cm accesstoken revoke 2023d611-fa69-46c5-b8b4-4e405c780bb7 my-org@cloud// Revoked my own PAT$ cm accesstoken admin revoke 5d08dbec-edaa-4415-b709-25042fa13517 my-org@cloud// Revoked a PAT from a different user in my organization

Organization administrators can also manage who has access to the PATs feature. As mentioned earlier, this is an opt-in feature rather than opt-out. This ensures that only privileged users and groups can grant access to organization data through a PAT.


$ cm accesstoken allowlist show my-org@cloud

To grant access to the feature to all current and future users, add the special user 'all' to the allowlist:


$ cm accesstoken allowlist add --users="all" my-org@cloud

To grant access to all users in a specific group (for example, "QA-hq"), add the group to the allowlist instead. If a user is removed from the group, they lose the privilege. Likewise, users added to the group gain the privilege.


$ cm accesstoken allowlist add --groups="QA-hq" my-org@cloud

The feature is currently available only through the command line client and will soon be available in the Cloud portal. Personal Access Tokens replace the old

plasticscm.com

's feature named "API Keys", that could be accessed from the "Edit Account" section on the old dashboard.

It is worth mentioning that PATs are valid only for the account and organization they were created against, whilst the old API Keys were account-wide and granted access to all the organizations the user was a participant of.

Command-line client: Faster checkout for thousands of files with cm

We recently improved checkout performance when handling large numbers of files. Files are now grouped by their parent directory and processed in batches, reducing overhead and speeding things up. In our tests, checking out 15,000 files from the same directory in the Desktop GUI dropped from 30 seconds to just 3 seconds - a 10x improvement. However, cm was significantly slower due to the need to process the input paths right before running the actual checkout operation.

Additional optimizations were applied to this release, especially improving performance on Windows. Thanks to that, the checkout with cm goes from the original 46 seconds to just 10 seconds - almost an 80% reduction.

Tested on a modern machine with a 10th-gen Intel i9 CPU and SSD running Windows 11.

All platforms - Desktop GUI and Gluon: Pending Changes View no longer refreshes unexpectedly

We've resolved an issue introduced in previous version 11.0.16.9523 that caused the Pending Changes view to auto-refresh unexpectedly, even when the Auto-refresh setting was disabled. This could interrupt workflows—such as reviewing a long list of diffs—by jumping back to the top of the list.

This new functionality is available under the WebAdmin section "Advanced -> Global security settings -> Custom client message", and supports a basic subset of HTML tags.

E.g.


<p style='background-color:#FFCCCB; padding:8px; margin:0; font-size:12px;'>    <b>CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION NOTICE</b> -    You are accessing protected content. <b>DO NOT</b> share, copy, or distribute without proper authorization.</p>

Once set, clients connecting to any workspace under the server will display a banner with the configured notice.

== Who can remove the banner? ==

Only administrators can remove it by reseting the "Custom client message" field in the WebAdmin.

If you use the Unity Version Control WebAdmin tool and/or APIs, you can now configure the HTTP request and response buffer sizes. Bear in mind that this is a server-side configuration, so it can only be customized by on-premise Plastic accounts.

Configuring these buffers' sizes can be useful, for example, to increase throughput in high-latency networks, or, in memory-constrained scenarios, to support more concurrent clients through HTTP.

You can control both settings using the following server.conf configuration keys:


<WebAdminToolMaxRequestBufferSizeInBytes>-1</WebAdminToolMaxRequestBufferSizeInBytes><WebAdminToolMaxResponseBufferSizeInBytes>131072</WebAdminToolMaxResponseBufferSizeInBytes>

Not specifying the new configuration key, or using a value of -1, indicates that the default buffer size (1MB for requests, and 64KB for responses) should be used.

Setting AuditLogMaxSizeInMB enables the automatic rotation of audit.log files. When a log file reaches the specified size, it is renamed with a timestamp, following the pattern:


audit_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss_fff.log

For example:


audit_20250304_103250_657.log

If AuditLogMaxFiles is set, the server will retain the current log file plus the specified number of rotated files.

Then write something like this inside the file:


storagebasepath=D:\plasticfs-storage

The plasticfs-storage directory contains the PlasticFS shared cache among other things. The size of this subdirectory will grow as PlasticFS downloads file data on demand. If you want to move the shared cache in isolation, you can also do it, like this:


sharedcachebasepath=D:\plasticfs-shared-cache

Now follow these steps:

Stop the PlasticFS tray application.
If you already have a plasticfs-storage directory, move it to its new location. The same goes for plasticfs-shared-cache if you want to move that one.
Restart the PlasticFS tray application, so the configuration file takes effect.

== WARNING ==

If you want to preserve your existing workspaces, but you didn't follow the second step correctly, a brand new storage directory will be created at the new location and you will be prompted with an error by the tray application. Don't panic! This can be fixed by stopping PlasticFS and replacing that new storage directory with the old one.

This error was raised because of the usage of a removed feature from the "com.intellij.util" package (

SystemProperties.getLineSeparator()

), the usage of this reference has been replaced by

System.lineSeparator()

, which is still being supported and it's not deprecated.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: Fixed wrong Switcher Window on startup

We fixed an issue where the switcher window always appeared after installing the Enterprise edition over the Cloud edition.

The problem occurred because of the client.conf file was not updating the LastRunningEdition field when certain configurations were empty.

Now, the last used workspace is correctly remembered, and the switcher window only appears when needed.

All Platforms - Desktop GUI: TextEditor find popup didn't process keyboard shortcuts properly

Shortcuts like Cut, Paste, Select All, and others were intercepted by the diff view instead of the “Find…” popup. Now, the keyboard commands behave correctly when the “Find…” text field is focused. It also fixes tab navigation to move focus as expected.

Windows - PlasticFS: The installer does not honor the PlasticFS configuration on restart

When upgrading to a different version of Unity VCS while using PlasticFS, you are asked to stop the PlasticFS tray application. So far, the installer did restart PlasticFS at the end, but it didn't do it ignoring any special configuration.

Now it will honor the settings that you set in your plasticfs.conf file.

All platforms - Server: Prevent moving a repository inside itself

Previously when you moved a repository under itself (MyProject/MyRep -> MyProject/MyRep/tests) fails with the error "Module can't be created because parent repository doesn't exist." and the repository ends up unreachable.

Now when you try to move a repository under itself the operation fails with a meaningful error "The repository 'MyProject/MyRep' cannot be moved inside itself 'MyProject/MyRep/tests'." and the repository remains with its old name.

All platforms - Gluon: Folder History Feature Added

We've introduced the ability to view the history of folders in Gluon. This enhancement makes it easier to track changes, access previous versions, and stay informed about updates within directories.

Command-line client

Command-line client: New variables in check-in triggers

Added new environment variables to the check-in triggers:

```
PLASTIC_REPOSITORY_NAME
```
: The repository name where the check-in is run.
```
PLASTIC_BRANCH_NAME
```
: The name of the check-in target branch.
```
PLASTIC_FULL_BRANCH_NAME
```
: The full name of the check-in target branch.

These variables have been added to all check-in triggers (client & server and before & after). It means: before-clientcheckin, after-clientcheckin, before-checkin and after-checkin.

These variables can be used to easily get the target branch for the current check-in operation inside the trigger code.

Example:


PLASTIC_REPOSITORY_NAME=myrepoPLASTIC_BRANCH_NAME=task001PLASTIC_FULL_BRANCH_NAME=/main/release/task001

Server - All platforms: Fixed login regression when using Active Directory

We fixed an issue introduced back in release 11.0.16.8845 where user login attempts would fail with an "Invalid Credentials" error in certain configurations.

This happened when the server administrator configured the User Display Name Attribute setting in LDAPWorkingMode when working against an Active Directory server.

The system now correctly calculates user details (DN) regardless of this setting, ensuring a correct authentication.

All Platforms

All Platforms: Introducing Branch Hiding!

We're excited to announce a long-awaited feature: the ability to hide branches! This new capability lets you focus on what's important by removing unwanted branches from your views.

== How it works? ==

Hiding branches happens at the server level, meaning once a branch is hidden, it disappears from the Branch Explorer, Branches View, and even the Changesets View for all users of the repository. However, the branch and its content still exist in the repository, so you can unhide or use it whenever needed.

== Who can hide or unhide branches? ==

Any user with "change" permission on a specific branch can hide or unhide it. This ensures flexibility while maintaining appropriate access control.

== When to use Branch Hiding? ==

Sometimes, you may ask us to delete branches, but this isn't always possible — e.g., when a branch has been integrated. In these cases, the Desktop GUI will now offer the option to hide those branches instead, helping you keep your workspace organized without permanently removing data.

== A note on visibility ==

While hiding a branch removes it from immediate views, the branch and its content remain intact in the repository. This ensures that no data is lost, and you can retrieve or unhide the branch at any time.

You can hide or unhide branches using either the command line or the Desktop GUI:

== Command Line: How to use Branch Hiding? ==

Use the following commands to hide or unhide branches. For additional details, include the --help option.


cm branch hide /main/task001 /main/task002


cm branch unhide /main/task001 /main/task002

== Desktop GUI: How to use Branch Hiding? ==

A simple and intuitive way to hide/unhide branches is also available directly within the GUI.

From the Branch Explorer or Branches View, there's a new option available to Hide a branch:

Note you can use "Ctrl-H" as shortcut!

To see all the hidden branches, you can go to the Branches View and click on the new 'Show hidden branches' button:

If you use this feature together with display filters, the hidden branches take them into account, making it easier to find the right branch based on your search criteria:

When showing the hidden branches, there's a new option available to Unhide a branch.

We're confident this feature will make managing your repositories more streamlined and efficient. Try it out and enjoy a clutter-free experience in Plastic SCM!

Windows - Installer Update

Windows - Installer Update: Remove discontinued plugins

We're excited to share an important update! We've optimized the installer by removing discontinued plugins and upgrading older .NET Framework applications to .NET. This change has cut the installer size by more than half, making installation faster and more efficient.

== What’s Changing? ==

We're discontinuing support for the following legacy Unity Version Control (UVCS) plugins:

Visual Studio Integration
Shell Extension
SCC Plugin
Microsoft Office Integration

== Why are we making this change? ==

These plugins no longer align with our vision for delivering a streamlined, modern product. By focusing on core improvements, we'll deliver updates faster and enhance the overall user experience.

== What should you do? ==

We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version of UVCS to enjoy the latest improvements, performance boosts, and bug fixes.

If you rely on the discontinued plugins, you can keep using them by staying on your current UVCS version. However, please note:

These plugins will no longer be maintained or supported.
Compatibility or functionality issues may arise in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our journey to improve Unity Version Control. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to our support team—we're here to help!

All platforms: GitSync handles the .lfsconfig URL setting

GitSync now takes into account the .lfsconfig configuration file. It looks for the URL setting in order to use the specified URL for the LFS blobs download/upload (instead of always using the default one).

This allows you to import repositories from Git (to UVCS) that used a custom URL for the LFS blobs though the .lfsconfig file.

It only accepts HTTP/HTTPS URLs at the moment:


[lfs]url = https://github.company.com/ruben/lfs-storage.git/info/lfs

Bug

All clients

All clients: Fixed "Unable to cast object" error checking in a file under an Xlink

This error only happened under very specific circumstances:

You have a file checked-out under an Xlink with a fs protection set from Linux/macOS.
There are new changes only in the root repo, so you need to run an Incoming Changes operation before running the check-in.
After that, the check-in operation throws the error: Unable to cast object of type 'Codice.CM.Common.Tree.CheckinItemData' to type 'Codice.Client.Commands.CheckIn.ClientCheckinItemData'.

Now it's fixed.

All platforms - Gluon: File conflicts not properly detected applying a shelveset

The Gluon shelveset application didn't promote the changes to file conflicts when the file was not modified in the workspace and the workspace revision didn't match with the base revision of the change. This way, it applied directly the shelveset change content to the workspace, losing all the changes introduced later in the file.

Now, it properly detects the file conflict and merges the workspace changes with the shelve changes.
