Highlights

We added the foundation for integrations in this release by implementing an integration system. Anchorpoint now includes an Azure DevOps integration, which allows you to create repositories and add members on Azure DevOps directly in Anchorpoint. More information on the Azure DevOps integration.

Improvements:

• Checkboxes are now marked in gray when checked to ensure a better overview of what has been checked and what has not.
• Audio in the preview page is also finally working and supports scrubbing and commenting with time code.
• Scrubbing for audio is now also available on thumbnails.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with window resizing and the sidebar not being adjusted correctly.
• Cursors for painting tools are now working again.
• The context menu in Attribute entries no longer closes the parent menu.
• Wrong job stack display and push errors have been fixed.
• Unlocking a massive amount of files now works properly.
• All files are now unlocked automatically for a particular member when they are removed from projects.
• Branch switching is now more responsive.
• The Git timeline now shows again when Anchorpoint runs offline.
• Removed freezing when Anchorpoint runs offline.
• Fixed rounded corner issue in rectangle review tools

This update provides more control over how to resolve conflicts when two artists work on the same file. You can now choose which version should be used as the latest one on a per-file basis.

The Branches UI has also been updated. You can now merge branches into your current branch.

Improvements

• Resolve conflicts on a per-file basis
• Updated branch overview
• Copy files like PSD, EXR, FBX, etc., and paste them as a PNG. Anchorpoint converts the file internally and adds it to the clipboard.
• Adjust the Git remote URL in the Project settings
• Added a new Unreal Engine demo project for better onboarding

Fixes

• Fixed crash problems that occurred due to thumbnail generation
• Fixed timeline icons not updating properly
• Fixed a refresh issue with the Info Attribute
• Fixed freezing of Anchorpoint after waking up from hibernation
• Fixed the issue of templates being created in the wrong workspace
• Fixed an issue of coloring the folder icon
• Fixed an issue where Windows started the wrong Anchorpoint version
• Fixed an issue of merging the .gitattributes file

Entries in the timeline can be filtered by type. This means that attributes, comments, and Git commits can be toggled on and off. A text search allows for searching for a specific entry, such as the author or comment. The task system has also received some updates.

Timeline Filtering

• Specific attributes can be hidden or shown in the timeline
• Scrolling through the full Git history now works, and the timeline automatically reloads when scrolling
• Comments can also be enabled or disabled from the timeline
• Lock information can also be hidden

Tasks

• Tasks now support copy, paste, and duplicate functions
• Tasks can be moved across views, folders, and projects

Fixes and Improvements

• Member roles are now set when inviting them to a project
• Git is now installed automatically in the background when Anchorpoint is opened for the first time
• An issue with joining a workspace for the first time has been fixed
• The favorite area is now scrollable
• Full screen mode now works even when the frameless window is disabled
• Middle click in breadcrumbs opens a new tab

Highlights

Files can be locked to prevent conflicts when two or more members work on the same file. This works for every project, including Git repositories or projects on Dropbox.

In Git repositories, files are locked automatically when you make an edit to them. You can also lock and unlock files via the context menu. Learn more about File locking.

Improvements

• The Timeline UI has been updated and is now slicker. You don't need to scroll as much, because timeline entries don't take up as much space.
• Customize your projects page by reordering blocks.
• Push notifications are sent when new Git commits from your team are available.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Anchorpoint lost connection to the project folder when the trial ended.
• Fixed a crash that occurred on the project page.

This action update brings the Reset Project feature into Git. This allows you to set the whole repository to a specific commit. From there you can, for example, build a variation of your Unreal/Unity project on a separate branch.

Fixes

• Fixed connection issues to Azure DevOps that sometimes occur on WIFI with ipv6 connections
