What’s new in P4 Server administration in 2023.2

For a complete list of what’s new in this release, see the Release notes and What’s new in the Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Reference.

S3 Support

Support for Amazon Web Services S3 storage for archive depots as well as S3-compatible APIs. Some organizations find these to be economical locations for files that are accessed only on rare occasions.

License administration

Support for updating an already existing license file without restarting the server. To learn more, see Install the license file.

Structured logging

To aid in planning for performance, structured logging indicates the size and number of files synced. See NetworkPerformance, ClientStats, and CacheStats. For the equivalent in unstructured logs, see Logging files sent to the server or proxy.

Additional enhancements

  • Support for automating the deletion of inactive files from the proxy. See p4p --cache-purge in Proxy options.

  • Support for macOS ARM-based hardware.
