Say hello to 11.0.16.9973!
New week, new release! This one is all about making life easier — fewer misconfigurations on the server side and a smoother experience keeping your JetBrains plugin in sync.
New Features
Server-dictated repository hashing algorithm
All platforms
No more hashing headaches!
UVCS supports two file hashing algorithms — SHA1 and MD5 — controlled by the FIPSCompliant flag in client.conf and server.conf. Until now, both had to match. If they didn’t? You could end up with repositories storing hashes in one format while clients expected another. Not fun.
Now, the server calls the shots. If both client and server are running this version or newer, the client automatically honors the server’s hashing configuration — regardless of its own FIPSCompliant setting. One place to configure, zero room for mismatch.
For mixed-version setups (newer client against an older server or vice versa), the client’s local FIPSCompliant flag is still used, so backwards compatibility is fully preserved.
Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Recommended cm version and download link in Configuration view
All platforms
Ever wondered which cm version your JetBrains plugin actually expects? Wonder no more!
The Configuration view now shows the recommended cm client version for your current plugin build, along with a clickable Download link that grabs the matching bundle directly from the IDE. The download runs in the background with a progress indicator and saves the file to your Downloads folder.
No more hunting for the right version on the website. Open Configuration, click Download, done.
That’s a wrap for this week! See you in the next one!
