Administrators who also review code: This release is for you.
Mercurial users: You, too.
Administrators, Review and Rejoice!
We never had the best experience for administrators who need to review code. When looking at a review request with a draft in progress, the administrator would see some information from the draft, some from the published review request. Commenting didn't work until the draft was published. It was... subpar.
We've completely reworked this experience.
Now, if you're reviewing code, you'll get the same experience as everyone else. You'll see only what's published. If there's a draft, or you need to make changes, you can switch over to a draft mode and see what the user's working on.
Stronger Mercurial Support
Managing your repositories with Mercurial? We've done a lot this release to make your workflows work better:
- Multi-commit review requests are better supported. A lot of corner cases from Mercurial's design have been worked around and fixed.
- Commits introducing binary files can now be uploaded, and those files reviewed in the diff viewer.
We have more Mercurial goodness coming in the next major release of RBTools.
Plus...
- Wider compatibility for downloaded Git and Mercurial diffs.
- Compatibility fixes for the latest Perforce for Python releases.
- Fixes for sending e-mails when DMARC DNS records aren't in a standard format.
- Various improvements throughout the review request UI.
All the details can be found in the release notes.
