Hey SCM-Manager community,

A new release is ready, bringing avatars for repositories, health checks, and some more fixes, especially in plugins.

Repository Avatars

Ever got lost in an SCM-Manager with lots of repositories? Then it's time to allow your imagination run free: With the new avatar plugin you can set avatars for each repository.

Using the editor plugin it is possible, to add or change…

For some time, the incompatability of SCM-Manager 2 with Java 9 or above has annoyed us. Now we can happily announce, that this is history. With the new version 2.0.0-rc4 SCM-Manager can run on Java 9 and above.
