Connectors Discovery feature
Bug 280889. Subversive's Connector Discovery feature makes the process of finding and installing SVN Connectors much faster and easier than it was in versions before 0.7.8.I20090808-1900, when the installation process went like this:
- Install Subversive from 2 different update sites: one for SVN Team Provider and another for SVN Connectors
- There were many combinations for installing Subversive and SVN Connectors, and some of these combinations were not compatible
The Connector Discovery feature greatly simplifies the things. Now you can install only Subversive SVN Team Provider. The next time Eclipse starts, on the first call to any Subversive functionality the Connector Discovery feature will detect that there are no connectors installed and will launch a dialog which displays the SVN Connectors you need and enables download and installation:
List all locked files in a project
Bug 279602. Add SVN Locks view which shows SVN locks and provides corresponding actions such as Lock, Unlock, Break Lock.
Use Equinox secure storage
Bug 295079. As authorization database is superseded by the Equinox secure storage, store secure data in Secure Storage. It was deleted obsolete Password Management page in SVN preferences, instead of it you can manage the list of passwords that have been saved via Secure Storage preference page. On first running of Subversive with Secure Storage support, secure data is automatically migrated from Authorization database, so you don't need to reenter it manually.
Add dialog for creating external resource
Bug 288139. This dialog provides an ability to set external definition information to be added to a svn:externals property of the selected resource. It adds ability to make relative urls.
Correctly support externals in actions
Bug 290386. Handle resources in external definitions as normal resources, especially it concerns to complex cases of defining externals, e.g. in commit, revert actions, decoration, Synchronize view.
