v0.7.13 Penultimate Persistent Password Prompt Problem Package

Version 0.7.13 of the Perforce plugin for IDEA community edition is now available. It fixes issues around an annoyance where the plugin was constantly reporting that the password was wrong, and adds features to help keep it from being annoying if it persists. You can download it from the IntelliJ plugin interface, or from github.

• Additional user preferences for controlling the connection management.
  • Add configurable "max retry authentication" parameter to control how many times
    to retry logging into the server after it reports an unauthorized connection.
    This can help those users who experience frequent issues around the server
    dropping the authentication token.
  • Add configurable "Always reconnect for each request", which closes the server
    connection after each server group of commands.
• Changed the default p4java API connection implementation.
  • The default p4java API connection implementation has switched from the
    OneShotServerImpl to the NtsServerImpl, due to connection usage pattern
    changes that causes the old implementation to incorrectly handle authentication.
    To change back to the old connection, use the "java:" or "javassl" protocol
    prefix; so if your connection is localhost:1666 and you want to go back to
    the old protocol, use java://localhost:1666. (#109)
• Bug fixes.
  • Improved responses to the retry login failures to display a different dialog.
  • Fixed the issue where files with a special character in the name (e.g.
    @ and #) can now be moved between changelists. (#103)
