Better 1.4.x and good 2.2.x/2.3.x support
This is the release with support of recent Redmine versions 2.2.x and 2.3.x, and with a lot of fixes, many of which are for Redmine 1.4.x. Additionally this version shows external URLs for repositories in the repository list.
Some time has passed since the last release of the SCM Creator and several new versions of Redmine has been released since then. So, certainly, preparing this release I was looking to making the plugin compatible to the recent Redmine mostly. Additionally I aimed to fix all known bugs... This way this version comes with support for Redmine 2.2.x and 2.3.x and with many bug fixes. Curiously, most of these bugs were related to Redmine 1.4.x, so this release can be considered to come with a better support for this Redmine version.
By the way, many guys helped me in fixing bugs for version 0.4.3... Thus, Lluís researched and fixed the attributes issue (#2135), Alexandre Lessard researched and fixed the array concatenation issue (#2137), Jun Naitoh fixed language string issues (#2183) and Yukinari Toyota fixed escaped HTML code issue (#2203). Thank you, guys!
Unfortunately not many new features can be found in 0.4.3 (what makes it a maintenance release mostly)... But one can be! Like for Extended Fields (as noted here) I decided to demonstrate, why voting and/or watching is important, by choosing an issue with the highest these numbers and implementing it for 0.4.3! This way the repository list now renders external URLs instead of local server paths, as it was requested in #2078.
This feature, in fact, was omitted as pre-1.4.x versions of the plugin (i.e., ones, which supported a single repository per project) did showed the external URL in the repository form (instead of the hint under the “URL” field). So, certainly, it should have been working this way from the beginning (thanks Humberto Anjos for drawing my attention to the issue).
To activate the feature you just need to specify url
in your Redmine configuration file (and restart, of course):
production:
svn:
url: svn
git:
url: http://git.myhost.com
In addition, the version 0.4.3 includes an update to the Japanese translation, which was provided by Jun Naitoh. Thanks, Jun!
