0.8.0 Connection Foxtrot

The first of the 0.8 version line is out with major changes to the way connections are handled, as well as some long standing bug fixes. You can download it from the IntelliJ plugin interface, or from github.

• Connection setup revamped.
  • Entirely changed how the connections are configured through the IDE.
  • This has ripple effects throughout the plugin. Hopefully, it will make
    the code more stable.
  • This change allows for more complex configuration options. Specifically,
    the P4ENVIRO support is handled better. Still no support for the
    per-server charset setting, though. (#94)
  • Compatibility with your previous settings should mostly be maintained.
    If you see an issue with your connection, try updating the connection
    settings.
  • Hopefully, the default setup for turning on the Perforce VCS will now match
    your environment setup. The goal here is to have the base setup load
    the user configuration, just like running the "p4" command line tool.
• Added a "reload configuration" actions to the VCS popup menu, and to the
  status bar widget when no connections exist.
• Bug fixes.
  • Delete does delete again! (#126)
  • Changed the error reporting for SSL encryption library problem, when it comes
    from a TrustException. The error reported now includes information about the
    user's JRE for better user investigation of the SSL problem. (#133)
  • Improved the error dialogs to reduce the situations where you can be
    bombarded with the same error message.
  • Changed the error dialog system so that multiple instances of the Perforce
    dialog don't pop up at once.
  • Many of the caches now clear their state when the project configuration
    is updated.
  • Big change to better detect when the user's password is necessary.
