Hey SCM-Manager Community,

It's the first Monday of the new year, and we just started working on the next major features to improve your SCM-Manager experience. But before going forward we wanted to do a little recap and share our SCM-Manager highlights of 2021.

Recap

We had 1…

Hey SCM-Manager Community,

some time has passed since 2.27.0, and the hassle around log4shell brought us some bugfix releases (because we use logback and not log4j, we had some less severe issues in SCM-Manager). But now it is time for a new feature release 2.28.0.

Hey SCM-Manager Community,

We're sure you've heard about the vulnerability in log4j called Log4Shell. As far as we can say, SCM-Manager is not affected by this, because log4j is not used in SCM-Manager (for logging, we use Logback).

However, if you have installed plugins from external sources, you can check whether log4j is used somewhere by running this little script using the script plugin…

Hey SCM-Manager Community,

once again we improved the accessibility by cleaning up our html structure and improve the screen reader support. Besides, we also created two new plugins which may be useful for your workflows with SCM-Manager.

Gotenberg Plugin

Some weeks ago we learned about Gotenberg as an easy-setup, powerful server to convert office binary files like docx, xlsx and pptx to pdf. We created the Gotenberg Plugin to integrate this…

Hey SCM-Manager Community,

Java 8 has been around for quite a long time now and it has served SCM-Manager quite well. But everything has come to an end.

So today we are here to tell you, that we will quit support for Java 8 in March 2022. We chose this date, because according to Oracle the support for Java 8 will end then, too. So, if you still run SCM-Manager on Java 8, you should start your transition to Java 11, which will…

Hey SCM-Manager Community,

we would like SCM-Manager to be accessible for as many users as possible. We aren't there, yet, but we have taken some major steps. Maybe the most obvious one: You can change your theme.

Accessibility

As well as it might seem so, our first goal was not…

Hello SCM-Manager Community,

On June 04, 2020 we released SCM Manager v2 in the first stable version. That was 510 days ago. Today we decided to shutdown the PluginCenter for version 1 on April 30, 2022, and we also disabled access via http today.

What does this mean for running…

Hey SCM-Manager Community,

With the new version 2.25.0 we have completely redesigned the landing page. We also fixed some minor bugs and added some minor features to various plugins. Our next big topic will be accessibility aka a11y. Here we will improve keyboard navigation and…

Hello SCM-Manager Community,

Since SCM-Manager is mainly concerned with repository management, our target audience is mostly from the IT field. However, during the development of SCM-Manager we found that other fields like engineers, craftsmen, scientists and office workers also…

Hello SCM-Manager Community,

Today we would like to present you our new content that we have created in the last weeks. By now there are already over 40 plugins for SCM-Manager 2 in the official Plugin Center. We have noticed that most users don't even know what is already…
