Announcing ClearCase 8.0.1.15, 9.0.0.5, and 9.0.1.1

​I’m pleased to announce the release of ClearCase 8.0.1.15, 9.0.0.5, and 9.0.1.1.  This is the second fixpack released this year, following on the heels of the release of 9.0.1 in June.  While the 8.0.1.15 release contains only defect and security related fixes, what follows is the content of the 9.0.x releases.  For a list of the fixes provided in each release, please visit http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27023148.

Security

• The JRE delivered with this release has new trusted public certificate authorities in the trust store. If you have customized your trust stores in previous releases, take the new trust stores from this release and reintegrate in your local changes.

 
ClearTeam Explorer (CTE) Enhancements

• With UCM you can now refresh the activity list on a stream during any common dialog box operations (for example, Check Out, Check In, Add to Source Control, Rename, Move, and so on).

Cadence Virtuoso Integration Enhancements

• Apply and Remove Label operations have been consolidated into a single Label dialog box. You can either choose to apply or remove labels from the selected items.
• Fetching the label types now lists them in a sorted order in the Label dialog box.
• The ClearCase Work Area Manager (WAM) now shows the attached labels on design elements in a newly introduced Label column.
• For ClearCase Delete, in addition to the originally selected elements, you can now add more elements such as other libraries, cells, and cellviews; and then all the selected elements can be deleted at the same time.
• Use the ClearCase Config Spec Editor to set your configuration specification for your workspace. This editor lets designers configure their workspace in terms of libraries, cells, cellviews, and design hierarchies based on provided version selectors.
