Pending changes in Blueriq Encore

As from Blueriq 15.5 it is possible to view, commit, and revert pending changes in Blueriq Encore.

Again, we listened to your feedback which resulted in these highlights:

Pending changes are now shown in a tree structure having 3 levels: project, module, and element. We did this to (1) make it easier to find and select changes in specific projects/modules and (2) visualize the dependencies between an element and its parents (module, project).
It is now possible to filter on action (create, update, delete), element type, element name, author. The selection checkbox next to the filter (de)selects all results after filtering.
We've made it easier to identify renames, adding "Renamed from ..." next to the name.

Conflict resolution in Blueriq Encore

We've added the list of unresolved merge conflicts and actions to resolve each conflict to Blueriq Encore. For each merge conflict, explanation is given about what happened and the curent state. For a content conflict (when the same element is updated in both branched but the update is not the same), we now offer the option to keep both elements for manual comparison afterwards. In order to speed up development and as stated on the Functional debt list, a side by side comparison is currently not available in Blueriq Encore.
