Client v1.3.0

Fixes:

• Race condition leading to a deadlock when switching workspaces
• Resources being added twice to recorded workflow steps in the graph visualization

Features:

• Metadata manager panel is back: manage object metadata for resources in the current workspace
• Autofill: use stored object metadata to fill out certain fields in resource objects for a new workflow step, and vice versa
• Quick change: rapidly switch between previously registered workspaces

Known Issues:

• Import of a remote repo currently ignores branches

Client v1.2.0-beta

Fixes:

• Editors for Identifiables (Tool/Resource/Person) now properly handle special properties for Tools
• Commits made outside the client to the local repository should no longer break the visualization

Features:

• Suggestions from previously entered Strings whenever filling out metadata-related text fields
• Function to quickly find and add again previously defined Tools/Resources/Persons from the same workflow when recording a new workflow step
• Export of local repository to a remote Git repository
• Import of a fresh remote Git repository to be used as a local workspace
• Update of the local repository based on data from a remote Git repository
• Multiple strategies offered to deal with edit conflicts
• Automatic (customizable) exclusion of certain types of files from being tracked

Known Issues:

• Workflow Graph messes up rendering if multiple merged pathes are compacted and then expanded again one by one

Client v1.1.3-beta

Fixes:

• Dialog for file cache now works with multiple files
• Client isn't trying to be too smart any more when matching new files against previously encountered resources in the workflow
• Annoyingly long tooltip texts get wrapped properly now
• Loading existing workflows should no longer trigger a random "duplicate step id" exception
• Updated dependencies for some previously unsafe libraries (not really an issue for us, as the client never used the affected parts)
• Opening preferences dialog when client is in "foreground" mode no longer creates an interaction deadlock of not being able to close the dialog
• Closing the client via means other than the File>>Exit action should now also properly save current settings

Features:

• Filter options for empty or hidden files available now
• Size limit for automatically excluding large file from version control can now be customized

Client v1.1.2-beta

Fixes:

• No silently ignored errors during initialization of Git repository (partly initialized repositoryleft the client in an unusable broken state)
• Damaged repository (e.g. due to manual deletion or modification of the hidden .git folder won't prevent the client from starting)

Features:

• New (experimental) export function for Dataverse repositories

Client v1.1.1-beta

Fixes:

• Client won't break anymore in Java9 environments that do not contain the JAXB module
