CET Developer version 11.0 (2021.1) was released in May 2020.

Highlighted Features

The highlighted features for this version include:

• Jira Project Model
• Support for new Branch Naming
• Improved Git-workflow and various other improvements
• New commands in COP (Commandline Operator)

Jira Project Model

The Jira-tab in CET Developer Studio (shortcut: "My Jira Issues"-button in Operator) will now group issues by project ("Epic link" in Jira).

Also the Commit-dialog will suggest checking out the project branch (when available) in addition to checking out the branch for the issue when selecting a Jira-issue for a commit.

Support for New Branch Naming

CET Developer now has built in support for the new CET Branch Convention 11.5 (as described here)

The new branch naming can be selected for a local repo by clicking the little cog-icon next to the "Create branch"-link after selecting a Jira-issue in the Commit-dialog. When the repo contains branches matching the new convention it will by default be used for that repo.

Improved Git-workflow and Various Other Improvements

The new version includes a lot of tweaks and improvements for a better workflow with Git.

For example:

• Improved history dialog: local and remote commits are now shown in the same integrated view (marked as "(Local)" or "(Remote)" if they have not been pushed/pulled yet). Also you can now push and pull changes directly from that dialog.
• Automatic detection if changes need to be pulled before pushing and handling of that instead of showing an error message when that happens
• Shortcut to merge changes from parent branch
• Detection of new changes on server when switching branch

New Commands in COP (Commandline Operator)

New commands have been added to cop, for example:

jira assign [key] [e-mail]      Assigns the issue to the user of the specified e-mail.
        (You can type 'me' as e-mail when assigning to yourself.)

merge [from-branch]   Merges from the specified branch to the current.
        If current branch is protected, special procedure is used.
        (see 'cop help merge' for more info)

To list available commands, open a command window from Operator and type:
