14.1 released on Aug. 14, 2025

Releases 14.1 was a point release.

Recently added features from Releases 14.0 and Releases 14.1 include:

ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   ClearTrigger's built-in integration with iApproveIt functionality allows all triggers to provide and receive real-time email and mobile-phone-enabled input to create real-time user interactive policy. You no longer have to wait hours/days for approval when managers and approvers can be notified and directly interact with trigger policy in real-time. You can now create Real-time mobile-phone capable policy for ClearCase.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   "ClearCase Hostname" Processing. ClearTrigger was modified so that existing Restriction List that could execute policy based on Users, Groups, VOBs, Elements, Views, Times or ClearCase Regions can now also limit base on ClearCase Hostname as well. This functionality was added to:
- Region Inhibited List
- Region Special Access List
- MOTD Restriction List
- Access List
- Trigger List

ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   Functionality Bits:
- Auto Warn/Prevent Lost+Found Elements (bit 21)
- Auto Protect Like Parent (bit 22)
- Force 'Unreserved' checkouts (bit 23)
- Enforce Size Limit Restriction (bit 24)
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   General Performance Improvements. Many ClearTrigger core functions were internally recoded to for speed and size reduction. ClearTrigger performs faster and smaller so it transfers over the network faster when needed. Additional memory and file caching were added as well to again improve its speed. A ClearTrigger server process was added to optimize data collection and hold queried data in memory between calls of ClearTrigger process for their use. Many network calls were replaced with shared memory calls resulting in improved performance for both ClearTrigger and the network.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   Improved Messaging. ClearTrigger messages were examined and rewritten for clarity. Many messages that previously referred restriction list listed all components that could match causing the denial. These denial dialogs are now more specific so that they list the matching component only.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   Added "Override" alias ABS_allow_use_of_local_ratl_bins. ClearTrigger added the ClearTrigger Override Alias ABS_allow_use_of_local_ratl_bins to improve performance. If defined in the clearbits file it allows the use of local ccperl.exe, cqerl.exe and cleartool.exe executables instead of ones defined in the depot for Windows script and UNIX script definitions within policy key definitions.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   'Auto Chown to VOB Owner' Functionality Bit was enhanced to allow for the setting of additional users or groups.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   'Auto Add Executed Permissions' Functionality Bit was enhanced to allow for the adding or removing of file extention types to or from the default set.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   'Auto Warn Lost+Found' Functionality Bit was enhanced to provide an "auto answer" option so that ClearTrigger policy makers can allow users to pre-answer the warning dialog so that this functionality can execute in a build or other automated process without human intervention.
ABS IBM Rational add-on Products   33 Additional ClearTrigger Environmental Variables were added for use in your own trigger scripts. These were the most often requested variables and are available for your use in your triggers without you having to do anything to calculate them yourself.
  These are just some of the features and enhancements in ClearTrigger 14.1.
