What is new in Plastic SCM 2.7 |
|
Plastic SCM 2.7 shares the intention of the original 2.0 Plastic series: bring the whole power of version control and remove the learning curve as much as possible. 2.7 release greatly improves the capabilities of the system innovating in areas such us merging and making replication and distributed development accessible to everyone. Plastic 2.7 becomes the true business oriented distributed SCM.
Introducing the next generation of point & click distributed development, the benefits with no harm...
Take advantage of all the Plastic functionalities within Visual Studio: merge, branch, inspect changes and explore branches ...
Plastic 2.7 introduces Xmerge (cross-merge), the first generation of refactor-aware merge system. Refactoring is a mainstream best practice for both agile and traditional shops, and no tool was able to handle it correctly... until now. Discover how Plastic can help integrating changes on code that have been modified an refactored... in minutes.
If Eclipse is your primary IDE, then you'll welcome the improved integration implemented in the Plastic 2.7 Eclipse plugin: merge, branch, move code, and configure your Plastic workspaces, and all inside the Eclipse IDE... Eclipse 3.4 is also fully supported now.
