v0.7.16 Even Morer Stable

Version 0.7.16 of the Perforce plugin for IDEA community edition is now available. It continues the stabilization of the 0.7 codebase. You can download it from the IntelliJ plugin interface, or from github.

• Bug fixes.
  • Help prevent a FileNotFoundException during writing to a temp file (#114).
  • Report a real error message when the user tries submitting a
    changelist that's not on the server.
  • Fix a possible NPE while synchronizing a directory.
  • Temporary fix for #124 in P4ChangeProvider - force the flushing of the
    local cache on changelist refresh.
  • Removed deprecated references.
  • Minor fix to changelist view details - if the server is offline and
    you're using multiple clients, then the offline status is correctly formatted.
  • Reduced the number of possible critical errors while changing connection
    information during a background operation.
  • Increased the performance of the determination of whether the "Edit" option
    should be visible under the P4 menu. This also changes its behavior so that
    it is always visible, even if the selected files are not under a Perforce
    client.

v0.7.15 More Stabalization

Version 0.7.15 of the Perforce plugin for IDEA community edition is now available. It further stabilizes the 0.7 codebase - thanks to everyone for working through these issues! You can download it from the IntelliJ plugin interface, or from github.

• Bug fixes.
  • Updated P4Java API to r15-2.
  • Patch of r15-2 looks to fix a "file corrupted during transfer" error
    message. (#123)
  • Set proper Perforce Application name and version on requests to the
    server. (#122)
  • Fixed NoSuchElementException occurs when attempting to revert
    files. (#121)
  • Fixed ConcurrentModificationException from local integrity checker.
    (#118)
  • Fixed Null server value passed to
    P4ChangeListMapping.getPerforceChangelistFor. (#117)
  • Fixed issue with session expired. The plugin now correctly
    asks for login.

v0.7.14 Stabilization

Version 0.7.14 of the Perforce plugin for IDEA community edition is now available. It stabilizes the 0.7 codebase - thanks to everyone for working through these issues! You can download it from the IntelliJ plugin interface, or from github.

• Bug fixes.
  • Fixed a possible deadlock with server connection checking.
  • Fixed automatic add to VCS option fails on copy (#102)
  • Fixed a rare concurrent modification exception (#106)
  • Fixed one place where disposed projects are attempted to be used (#104)
  • Fixed an issue where the plugin would not allow loading
    the list of clients unless you had a client set. (#115)
  • Fixed an issue where the changelist name and description can be concatenated
    together (#91). Now, changelists will be updated to use the comment, and only
    use the name if no comment is given. This better matches the behavior of
    submit. If you want the old behavior back, there's a user preference to
    concatenate the two strings together, but note that this will not
    affect the behavior of the submit dialog - it will still only show the
    comment. This may have also fixed an issue where a second changelist
    would be created incorrectly.
  • Fixed a configuration panel issue for the multi-p4config file setup
    did not show the config settings for a selected path.

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)
