v0.8.4-beta.3 Connections Woes

Version 0.8.4-beta.3 is now available. It's testing out issues around the connection authentication and login, the configuration property UI panel, and the config name UI panel. You can get this release exclusively from github.

• Known issues that should be fixed before the final release:

  • The client name refresh button has issues, so that's been temporarily disabled.
  • After the UI prompts you for the password, you need to manually rescan for servers (either through the config UI or through the status bar widget). The scanning should happen automatically, and all parts that depend upon this should be notified of the change. It looks like the notification isn't happening right.
  • If you have the password specified in a config file, the plugin will still prompt you for the password.

• Bug fixes.

  • Cleaned up debug logging.
  • Added workaround for an observed issue where the IDE would not load the workspace
    VCS configuration before the plugin was available (part of #143).
  • The client name panel now correctly displays the client name saved in the
    workspace.xml file.
  • The configuration UI now prompts for a password when the client name panel
    needs a password to find the user's clients.
  • Improved configuration problem reporting to differentiate between warnings and
    actual errors (part of #143 and #144).
  • Fixed the connection status bar widget to push more activity out of the event
    thread and into the background.
  • Fixed the reload buttons to be disabled while the process is running.
  • Moved the client name field spinner to be consistent with the rest of the UI.
  • Changed validation check for the server configuration and the client
    configuration so it now reports a warning rather than throwing an
    error (#144).
  • Added validation check to ensure client name is not purely numeric.
  • Added better logging in the case of connection checkout issues.
  • Fixed configuration panel detection of modification.
  • Fixed an issue where an invalid password would be considered needing to log in
    again with the existing, known password.
  • Stream-lined the server connection process.
