1.8.1

Timeline filtering

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

1.8.0

File locking

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.

Action

Reset project

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

Improved support and onboarding

We removed the red hotspots with the video pop-ups and added a help sidebar, which shows Anchorpoints' most frequent use cases and links to the documentation and tutorials. Empty states and descriptions are clearer and contain links to the documentation for more information.

Features and UX

  • Sorting and the quick filter work in Git changed files
  • Project icon can be added to tabs (you have to enable it in the application settings)

Recent files and audio thumbnails

Highlights

  • Cloud Drive Support for macOS
    Now you can mount a cloud drive on a Mac just like you can on Windows, with no configuration or permissions required.
  • Recent Files Block
    Quickly access the last 5 project files from the Project Dashboard
  • Audio file thumbnails
    View a waveform of .mp3, .wav, and other audio files. Hover over a file to trigger playback. If you still see wrong thumbnails, go to the Account Settings / Application and clear the image cache.

Improvements

  • Project dashboard is shown when the application is starting for the first time
  • Default sidebar width has been doubled
  • Clear image cache button to free up disk space used by thumbnails

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with a failed initial commit in Git repositories
  • Fixed an issue when sorting on folders and files
  • Fixed an issue when renaming folders. This broke metadata in the past.
