Full Changelog: 3.04...3.05

3.04

• Greatly improved editor startup time by querying the repository asynchronously before finishing init of source control
• LFS is now on by default, defaulting LFS locking name to the Git username, which may need adjustment
• Removed some unnecessary Git feature checks
• Fetch no longer gets tags, as they're unused in the plugin and may cause clobber issues
• Fixed an error which happened with cooking/packaging in editor in some cases
• Fixed submission always failing when the remote branch hadn't been created
  • This was because it couldn't find a remote to compare to for collecting newly pushed files. This has now been implemented.

• Fixed performance in UE debug builds
• Improved documentation

3.03

• Added support for UE5 Preview
• Dropped support for UE5 Early Access

• Fixed remote status updates when no status branches are specified
• Better handle branches without a remote yet
  • Status updates no longer warn when there is no remote for the current branch
  • Remote branch is automatically created on push
• Fixed remote status branch checks not taking account files not present in the current local state

Full Changelog: 3.01-PB.1...3.02

3.01-PB.1

What's Changed

• Merged in UE5 support into the main branch!
• Detached from the original repo
• Disabled cancellation
  • It was confusing to users, as longer operations would prompt the user to continue or cancel. But Git LFS does not have possible long connection times like Perforce, so cancellation is less relevant.
• Fixes for modified files which are lockable but not locked by anyone
• Fixed non-status branches failing to update their remote status
• Added support for detecting which branch a remote state comes from
  • This is used in tooltip displays as well as some status branch functionality
• Added Git source control menu for UE5 by @rweber89 in #11
• Added forced status updates for UE5 Content Browser by @rweber89 in #12
• Support for both UE4 and UE5 by @rweber89 in #14
• Fixed revert failure due to delayed OS file locks by @rweber89 in #15

New Contributors

• @rweber89 made their first contribution in #11
