Note: I am posting about this old release for future reference as it was shipped by default with Unreal Engine 5.2 and then also with UE 5.3. This means that it is still the version that most developers are using to this day!

2023/02/14: We have released a new version 1.8.0 of the Plastic SCM plugin (Release 1.8.0 · PlasticSCM/UEPlasticPlugin · GitHub) with support for Shelves, as well as bug fixes and more polish to the associated View Changelist UX.

Cheers!
