SCM-Manager 2.25.0

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 screen reader support, and we have already started to create our new theme High Contrast Mode which is actually dark but not the Dark Mode.

But let's talk about what the current version includes.

Landing Page Plugin

SCM-Manager already provided a Landing Page Plugin which adds a new start page before the repository overview. This page showed all user related information like favorite repositories, open tasks and recent events in SCM-Manager. We improved this landing page by merging the widgets like the favorite repositories into the repository overview. Also, we added a configuration to let you choose which widgets should be shown on your personal repository overview.

Tell us how you feel about these changes and what else we could do to improve your efficiency working with SCM-Manager.

Custom Links Plugin

We created a new plugin which allows you to add custom links to your SCM-Manager footer. You can add your imprint, legal pages or some instance related links, so every user can reach them.

This plugin is currently not available from the official SCM-Manager plugin center. You have to install it manually from the Community Forum.

Minor changes / bug fixes

• We added a conflict check for the Editor Plugin to prevent overwriting files if someone else has already changed them.
• We added another specific permission with write access for the SSL Context Plugin.
• The footer is now also displayed on the login page.
• The Repository Template Plugin can now automatically mark repositories as templates by using the corresponding action in the repository settings.
• It is no longer possible to delete the default branch of a repository as this may cause several problems in SCM-Manager.
