MacCVSClient specifications
What's new in version 1.8.1
Important:
What's new:
- In MacCVSClient 1.8.1 the preferences file format has changed. Before using MacCVSClient 1.8.1 you might want to save away a copy of your existing preferences file so you can downgrade, if necessary.
What's new:
- Preferences now have a tabbed interface.
- Changed all occurrences of the term "Module" to "Sandbox" wherever it had been used in the sandbox context. To clarify: a sandbox is a checked out working copy of a module. A module itself exists only in the repository.
- "Repository" menu items are now always enabled.
- Increased folder item indentation from 10 to 20 pixels in sandbox windows.
- Optional different repository side text encodings for Add/Import/Commit log messages (comments).
- Classic PPC and 68K versions: send all files to the server with executable access privileges.
- COMMAND-SCROLLWHEEL jumps from diff to diff; conflict to conflict; revision to revision; highlit annotation to highlit annotation in diff, conflict, annotation and log views.
- COMMAND-SHIFT-SCROLLWHEEL jumps from full line to full line in diff, confilct and annotation views.
- Preferences: Translators/Ignore Filters
- Combined import and export translators into one. Should be more intuitive this way.
- Multiple selection (also for Ignore Filters panel).
- Copy-and-paste in translators list (also for Ignore Filters panel): enabled "Edit" menu commands for this.
- Drag-and-drop out of translators list (also for Ignore Filters). Text clipping files are supported as well. — This and the above two features can be used to exchange translators and ignore filters among team members. The format is plain text based. So you can easily store them and email them around. Or put them on a web page where they can be copied from the browser window and then pasted into the MacCVSClient preferences.
- When opening Translator and Ignore Filter settings dialog from an Add/Import preview window which has a selected item, select all Translators or Ignore Filters which match the selected item in the preview window.
- Login Profiles
- Login profile list (and selection popup menu) now always alphabetically sorted by login profile description field.
- "New" button behaviour has changed.
Before: pressing the "New" button would apply already made changes to the currently selected login profile and then create a copy — altogether rather weird.
Now: when the "New" button is pressed a new login profile is created using the current values of the input fields and then that new login profile is selected in the login profile list popup. To me this seems much clearer. Also if you start changing a login profile and then realize you want to make a new one out of it, you just hit the "New" button and presto!
- FIX: Mac OS X version: handle POSIX file access privileges correctly.
- FIX: when MacCVSClient resumes after being clicked into the background while in the Add/Import preview dialog, the preview is now automatically aborted and the user asked to start it again. This is necessary because files or folders might have been renamed, moved or deleted while MacCVSClient was in the background. This also fixes a crash-bug in CVS Add.
- FIX: a selected 'unknown' folder in a sandbox view would become unselected when switching away from and back to MacCVSClient; now such folders retain their selected-status. And this as well fixes a crash-bug in CVS Add.
- FIX: custom ports for SSH1/2 now work.
- FIX: hitting ENTER in the "Add Check" dialog now always triggers the "Add" button; before this would only work, if an entry in the add file check list was selected.
- FIX: splashscreen in Panther now draws with Panther style pinstripe.
- FIX: login profiles of type "local" now work correctly in case the user name and host name fields are left empty.
- FIX: error condition display in console fixed for multiple simultaneous CVS operations; before it could happen that a failing CVS operation could cause a "Failure" message not only for itself but also for other CVS operations which were running at the same time.
- FIX: when a malformed commit log message was detected in the commit log dialog, the commit would automatically be aborted after a warning was displayed. Then the commit command would have to be started all over (and the commit log message would have to be entered again). Now the commit dialog handler loops until the problem in the message is fixed or the user cancels.
- FIX: adjusted scroll wheel speed.
- FIX: when receiving an AppleSingle file with unknown or irrelevant AppleSingle components, issue a log message instead of an error message.
- FIX: CVS import only ignores what's specified in MacCVSClient's ignore preferences. The default CVS server ignore patterns (Cederqvist: import option "-I !") are disabled now.
- FIX: better (more explanatory) error dialog when the user tries to open a sandbox folder that has not been checked out with MacCVSClient.
- FIX: COMMAND-[ and COMMAND-] did not work in log window; it now does and jumps from revision to revision in the log list.
- FIX: SSH timeout handling; also kill bogus SSH processes. Those were sometimes left hogging the CPU after unsuccessful SSH login attempts.
- FIX: typo in password menu in login profile.
- FIX: tab width preference value changes are not ignored any longer.
- FIX: run "List Modules" command with desktop folder as current directory. Before some folder inside the MacCVSClient application bundle was used.
- FIX: "Check conflict" command was broken in 1.8.
