v2.4.0

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, checkout, discard, and stash operations performed through the menus and web UI.

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 (#349)
• New sync operation for basic mode that fetches, pulls, commits, pushes, rebases, and pushes again (#349)

• Now skips files belonging to other git enabled packages in ##class(SourceControl.Git.Change).RefreshUncommitted() (#347)
• Added a new "Branch" parameter to ##class(SourceControl.Git.PullEventHandler) (#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 (#366)
• Merging back with the default merge branch is now a part of the basic mode's Sync flow (#366)
• Added a new option "compileOnImport". If true, Import options will compile files using the pull event handler. (#362)
• Git web UI overhauled for better UX selecting files to commit/stash/discard (#346)
• Git web UI supports discarding some/all changes (#395)
