v2.4.0: General and Interoperability-specific Usability

The main features in this release are a revamped user interface for working with uncommitted changes, a new "basic" mode that greatly simplifies working with Git in a prescriptive, feature branch-driven workflow (recommended for Health Connect Cloud), and changes to automatically keep IRIS (and interoperability productions specifically) kept better in sync with the underlying git repo on pull/commit/discard/stash operations.

Added

• Pre-release support for IPM v0.9.0+
• Items mapped from database other than namespace's default routine database are now ignored by default when exporting or adding files
• New setting to configure whether mapped items should be should be treated as read-only
• Added a basic mode to automatically perform functionality expected in basic use cases (Add configurable "Basic" and "Expert" modes #349)
• New sync operation for basic mode that fetches, pulls, commits, pushes, rebases, and pushes again (Add configurable "Basic" and "Expert" modes #349)
• "Sync" operation in basic mode automatically resolves the class of merge conflict common in production classes where multiple independent items are added in different feature branches
• Now skips files belonging to other git enabled packages in ##class(SourceControl.Git.Change).RefreshUncommitted() (Issue #317 IPM Multi Developer Setting Issue Resolved #347)
• Added a new "Branch" parameter to ##class(SourceControl.Git.PullEventHandler) (Add branch name to SourceControl.Git.PullEventHandler instance #351)
• Command-line utility to do a baseline export of items in a namespace
• 'New Branch' menu option in basic now will create new branches from the configured default merge branch (Basic mode option to rebase from remote branch #366)
• Merging back with the default merge branch is now a part of the basic mode's Sync flow (Basic mode option to rebase from remote branch #366)
• Added a new option "compileOnImport". If true, Import options will compile files using the pull event handler. (Import All doesn't compile imported items #362)
• Git web UI overhauled for better UX selecting files to commit/stash/discard (Commit through web UI commits other users' staged changes #346)
• Git web UI supports discarding some/all changes (Workspace UI revamp #395)

Fixed

• Modifications to local repo files are now synced with IRIS (Sync code with IRIS after all codebase changes #153)
• Menu items names are properly translated from internal name in VSCode, Management Portal (Make menu item names in management portal better #372)
• Now has proper locking behavior in ##class(SourceControl.Git.WebUIDriver).HandleRequest()(Locking needed for non read-only git requests #385)
• Git operations from the WebUI now don't unlock the session if they aren't read-only
• WebUI works properly for users with %Developer without needing to add further SQL privileges (Automatically give %Developer SELECT privileges on %Studio_SourceControl.Change and SourceControl_Git.Change #365, Changes not showing in working copy in Git WebUI #358)
• Uncommitted deletes are shown in WebUI (Workspace UI revamp #395)
• Syncing only prompts users for a commit message if there are uncommitted files (Fix production conflicts automatically (and more sync tweaks) #390)
• WebUI works properly for users with %Developer without needing to add further SQL privileges (Automatically give %Developer SELECT privileges on %Studio_SourceControl.Change and SourceControl_Git.Change #365)
• Fixed <UNDEFINED> error running Import All (Error running "Import" #380)
• Discarding changes now recompiles - critical for productions and some other cases (Discard changes should compile #387)
• Special characters in WebUI git commands now result in the command being executed properly (Some characters may not be escaped properly when committing using WebUI #369)

New Contributors

• @isc-hwojnick is interning with Application Services this summer, made his first contribution in Menu item documentation #340, and has done all sorts of great stuff since. (And the summer is only half over!)
