BOUML 4.22.2 - Changelog

What's new in BOUML 4.22.2:

July 14th, 2010

· When IDL was the alone selected language in the global menu languages and you added parameter(s) through the UML tab when editing an operation, random characters was inserted in the IDL declaration of the operation, fixed. (cf.) 

· In the previous releases the default definition of a class in Php wrongly contained the keywords ${visibility} producing an invalid form in case the visibility is not package. This keywords isn't any more present when you create a new project, nor managed by code generator and reverse. (cf.) 

· In the previous releases when you edited a relation the definition for the target languages was implicitly reinitialized to the default definition specified through the generation settings only when you changed the kind of the relation. Now this is the case each time the default definition associated to the new couple kind/multiplicity is not the same as the previous couple. (cf.) 
In the previous releases when you edited an attribute the definition for the target languages was never implicitly reinitialized. Now this is the case each time the default definition associated to the new multiplicity is not the same as the previous. 

· It is now possible to move a state machine into an other state machine or a sub state of an other state machine. If the moved state machine is stereotyped machine the stereotype becomes submachine. (cf.) 

· Php Generator 1.10.1
The generalizations / realizations and dependencies wasn't taken into account to compute the needed required_once list, this is the case now (when they have a non empty definition in Php). (cf.) 
Remove management of ${visibility} at class level. (cf.) 

· Php Reverse 1.8.1
Remove management of ${visibility} at class level. (cf.) 

· XMI2 Generator 1.14.1
In the previous releases the BOUML project-package produced both a XMI model and a package, now an option allows you to not generate the model level. (cf.)

What's new in BOUML 4.22.1:

June 24th, 2010

· In release 4.22 the state activities wasn't written in the state diagrams, fixed. (cf.)

What's new in BOUML 4.22:

June 23rd, 2010

· It was not possible to reload a project where the associated diagram of a component is a deployment diagram, fixed. 

· Each time you edited a dependency between a class and a package, import was again added in the proposed list of stereotypes, fixed. (cf.) 

· Add Php 5.3 namespace management. (cf.) 
Like for the other language the namespace is specified at package level.
The generation of the namespace declaration in Php is done by an artifact containing ${namespace} in its Php definition, looking at the namespace may be specified in the package containing the deployment view containing the artifact (this is the case for the new projects, you have to add ${namespace} by yourself if you want this feature in your existing projects).
By default the Php code generator try to not generate namespace prefixes, if you want to always generate them set the generation setting option force namespace prefix generation. 

· Add submachine state reference management. Only states without child except transitions and entry or exit pseudo states can be transformed into state reference or allow to change the referenced state by an other one. The referenced state is set/changed/removed by editing the (future) submachine state reference.
To add a connection point reference to a submachine state reference add an entry or exit point then edit it to specify the reference. 

· Enter and Exit points can now be placed on the border of their state. 

· The profiles of the operations proposed in a list now contain the container classes of the referenced nested classes. Previously it was not possible to differentiate for instance the operations void C1::f(C2::C) and void C1::f(C3::C) because they was both written void C1::f(C). (cf.) 

· The shortcuts associated to the commands Edit and Menu are now active in diagrams. By default the shortcut to show the menu is the key return/enter, so if you select one element in a diagram and hit return/enter the menu associated to this element is shown, and if you select several elements in a diagram and hit return/enter the multiple selection menu is shown.
Add the shortcut command Diagram menu to ask for the menu of a diagram inside a diagram, this command do the same as if you unselect all elements in the diagram by doing a left mouse click out of any element then doing a right mouse click out of any element.
This changes are mainly dedicated to persons working with visioboard and having difficuties to do a double mouse click and to use the mouse right click (left click directly usable). 

· It was not allowed to have several activity actions or activity nodes or activity objects or activity partitions or class instances or expansion nodes or expansion regions or flows or interruptible activity regions or parameter sets or pins or pseudo states or state actions or state regions or transitions having the same non empty name in the same container, this limitation is removed. (cf.) 

· In the previous releases in C++ the visibility specifiers was indented with two spaces. Now you are able to set the expected indent through the generation settings. (cf.) 

· You can now save the content of the trace window in a HTML file. 

· Through the global menu miscellaneous you can now specify a root directory for the icons associated to the stereotypes or directly put in diagram. (cf.) 

· Previously the icon associated to the stereotypes was specified through an absolute path or had to be find through the current directory whose depend on the way Bouml is started.
Now you are able to specify a path relative to the root directory for the icons or relative to the project directory. In case the path of an icon is not absolute, the icon are searched first using the root directory for the icons, then for compatibility reason using the current directory, then using the project directory. (cf.) 

· You can now put icons in diagram independently of the use of stereotypes. (cf.)

What's new in BOUML 4.20:

What's new in BOUML 4.19.3:

April 12th, 2010

· Add the new keyword ${inverse_name} producing the name of the inverse role of a bi directional relation between classes.
· When you apply a plug-out when Bouml is started with the option -exit, the return value of Bouml is the argument of the operation UmlCom::bye(). This value is 0 when you apply an old plug-out where bye doesn't have a parameter.
· The return value is -1 if the plug-out execution can't be done or if the plug-out doesn't connect to the modeler in less than 30 seconds.
· New option -execnogui, use it in place of -exec when you don't want to see the GUI when you apply a plug-out when Bouml is started.
· In this case the messages normally written in the trace window are produced on stdout.
· You have to kill the process Bouml by yourself if you use -execnogui without -exit.
· Python Generator 1.4
· Extends the auto generated import to the classes referenced by the attributes, associations and operations. Previously only the inherited classes and dependencies stereotyped import or from was taken into account.
· Returns the number of errors through UmlCom::bye().

· You have to add by yourself an argument to the calls of UmlCom::bye
· Plug-outempty
· Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.

What's new in BOUML 4.19.2:

March 29th, 2010

· A crash could occurred when you opened a component diagram referencing through a required or provided relation a class deleted in a previous session, fixed.
· When you closed Bouml though a shortcut (control-w by default) while an additional window like an artifact source windows was still open, Bouml crashed (without true consequence because if needed the previously load project was already saved), fixed.
· fr.lang de.lang es.lang updated.

What's new in BOUML 4.19.1:

March 15th, 2010

· Since release 4.17.1 a crash could occurred when you did some changes on a state present in an opened diagram but never visible because of the diagram dimensions and the position of the scrollbars, fixed.

What's new in BOUML 4.18.2:

February 13th, 2010

· The class instances wasn't filled with the expected color when you asked to not draw the shadow in a sequence or communication diagrams, fixed.

· C++ Reverse 2.12.4
· To set the C++ source and header directory for the additional packages created during the reverse because all classes defined in a given directory are not defined in the same namespace or some are defined in a namespace and some others are defined out of a namespace, try to use path relative to root directory if it is defined in the generation settings.

· C++ Roundtrip 1.0.3
· The roundtrip was perturbed by the use of namespaces and produced a wrong and inconsistent result.
· In the previous releases of C++ reverse/roundtrip the C++ directory of source and header files wasn't set for additional packages created to manage several namespaces (see remark concerning thr reverse above), because of that the roundtrip may propose to delete classes defined under these packages. If you used previous releases of C++ reverse/roundtrip to reverse source codes using several namespaces in the same directory, or both classes in a namespace and other classes out of a namespace in the same directory, you need to check the C++ source and header directory specification on packages and if needed to replace the empty directory specifications by the right path.
· To discard \r when comparing two strings to update or not an element.

· Java Roundtrip 1.2.2
· To discard \r when comparing two strings to update or not an element.

What's new in BOUML 4.18.1:

February 8th, 2010

· A crash could occur when you did some changes on relations used by 'modeled' class instances (non pure graphical class instances) or reload a project defining 'modeled' class instances, fixed.

· In a class diagram when the drawing setting draw all relations was false the only way to show not yet drawn nesting relations was to set draw all relations to true, then to remove undesired shown relations. Now the menu of a nested class proposes to show the nesting relation when it is not yet drawn and the container class is present.

· XMI2 Import 1.7.2
· To replace newline by space in relations's name.

· C++ Reverse 2.12.3
· C++ Roundtrip 1.0.2
· The name of the parameters of the operations must be the name specified in the definition when it is not empty, rather than the name given in the declaration (regression introduced when I added roundtrip).
· The instantiation of a template class inside the declaration or the definition of its operations was reversed as the class itself (without actuals), fixed.

· fr.lang updated.

What's new in BOUML 4.18:

January 25th, 2010

· In the previous release changes done in an activity diagram may crashed the memory under Windows because of a bug in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, this problem potentially also existed in other cases, bypassed.

· I was forbidden to add a flow from an action to an object whose is control was false, fixed.

· When you added a shortcut the indications control/shift/alt was removed when you specified the key in case the current line was the last (generally the case), fixed.

· Add the new shortcut commands Open project, Print and Save as, default shortcuts are control o, control p and control shift s.
· Also add default shortcut control p printing the active shown diagram.

What's new in BOUML 4.17.1:

January 11th, 2010

· A crash may occured when drawing a class instances non transparent and without drawing the shadows, fixed.
· Under Windows the default language was wrongly set to Spanish in case you previously used a release older than the 1.15.1 and the environment variables LANG and LCID don't specify English or French, fixed.
· Add related elements did nothing in a use case or deployment diagram, fixed.
· When you manually resized an element in a diagram its self relations may be hidden depending on the position of the self relation and the used corner, fixed.
· In a state diagram, when you added an element and it was automatically moved to be placed in its container, its self relations didn't follow it and their cut points was poorly placed, fixed.
· When you add a container in a state or activity diagram and its possible container wasn't drawn but its sub elements was drawn, now the added container is automatically resized to contain its sub elements. To try to not poorly move already placed elements to force them to be inside the added container.

What's new in BOUML 4.17:

· Add the new shortcut commands Close and Quit to close the project or quit, default shortcuts are control w and control q.
· When several resizable elements are selected in a diagram the multiple selection menu allows you to resize them to have the same width and/or height of the first selected element. Have associated shortcut commands (Same width, Same height and Same size)
· It is now possible to have a class diagram under a use case or a use case view, this allows to define Iconix robustness diagram throw class diagram.

· Recall : if you are volunteer to add the translation for a new language prevent me. The work consists to translate more than 2000 short sentences with a tool I developed for that (of course you don't have to change the sources of Bouml).
· The previous releases of BOUML cannot read a project saved with this version. Obviously this release is able to read the projects made by previous releases of BOUML.

· In a diagram when two elements was link by a line (whatever it represented) and one the element contained the other one, the line was not drawn. This was mainly a problem in case of high-level transition from a composite state with a target inside the composite state. Fixed.
· An auto scroll is now made if necessary when you move in a diagram the mouse with the center or right click down.

Python Generator 1.0.8:
· When a class referenced an other one placed in the same python package, the python code generator wrongly produced . rather than .., fixed.
· In the special case of the artifact is named __init__ this one is now not generated, this means . is produced

XMI2 Generator 1.10.1:
· When you defined an association between a class and an actor an unexpected and inconsistent attribute was generated, fixed.

What's new in BOUML 4.12:

March 17th, 2009

· It is now possible to add marked elements in class, use case, component and deployment diagrams though the diagram menu entry add marked elements.
· It is now possible to ask for to add related elements in diagram for a class, use case, package, component, artifact and deployment node. A related element is an element having a relation with the current element whose can be shown in the current diagram and part of the browser.
· The previous releases of BOUML cannot read a project saved with this version. Obviously this release is able to read the projects made by previous releases of BOUML.

What's new in BOUML 4.11:

February 16th, 2009

· Add specification on activity and state, used to indicate an implemented operation. Add entries in menu of operation to create an implementing activity or state, or to access to them.

February 9th, 2009

· Add accept call, reply, create object, destroy object, test identify, raise exception and reduce activity actions.
· For Python a default definition of __init__ is now specified through the generation settings, this one is used when a class inherits other class(es), the definition asks for mother class(es) initialization through the form super(classname, self).__init__()
· In diagrams, now when you move a fragment the textes in collision follow it.
· The previous releases of BOUML cannot read a project saved with this version. Obviously this release is able to read the projects made by previous releases of BOUML.

· To confirm the edition of a relation whose target was a read-only class and without properties on the first role produced an error message, the only solution was to cancel the edition, fixed.
· Extends the referenced by command searching for elements in diagrams. To be find in a diagram an element must be directly represented, this means for instance an operation nor an attribute can't be find in a class diagram.
· Add management of ${type} for Php in operation, attribute and relation dialogs, a priori used in comment for instance php-comment forms. Note ${t} was already managed.
· To establish through the generation settings a default description for the class, operation, attribute and relation using @return, @var and @access forms helps you to generate php-comments. Of course it is also possible to write a plug-out modifying the description to use these forms including @param depending on the element definition.

Php Generator 1.4.6:
· Add management of ${type} in operation generation (other cases already managed), a priori used in comment for instance php-comment forms.

Php Reverse 1.2.2:
· Parse comments to search for @param, @return, @var and @access forms.

· Now a ';' is produced and the generation continues after the first '}' placed after ${body}.

Html documentation Generator 2.15.1:
· The description of an operations or a class stopped when a '{' was reached, and the description of an attribute or a relations stopped when a ';' was reached, fixed.

· When you load a project the elements wrongly nested in a partition are automatically extracted to come back to a consistent project.

What's new in BOUML 4.9:

December 28th, 2008

· The modeler entered in an infinite loop when you tried to change the geometry of an extension (uni directional association from a stereotype-class to a meta class), fixed.
· When a class was present in at least two of the provided required and realizing lists of a component and you deleted the class, saved the model then reload it, the model was inconsistent and a crash can occured, fixed.

· Now Add inhnerited operations doesn't propose getter and setter operations of mother classes.
· When you move an attribut or relation by drag&drop the associated getter and setter operations are now deleted (the marks allow to move an attribut or relation and its associated getter and setter operations).

What's new in BOUML 4.8.4:

December 8th, 2008

· It is now possible to associate an icon to the stereotypes defined in a profile by specifying a picture file.
· In a diagram the image is used without modification when the scale is 100%, else it is resized. This image is used in the diagrams for classes when the drawing mode is natural, components when you ask for to use an icon, packages (context not written), state actions (behavior not written), activity object nodes, deployment nodes and artifacts. In this case the name of the element is written under the icon. These icons are not exported in SVG.
· The picture is also used in the browser when the element is not deleted, the image is resized to have its width and weight less or equal to 16.
· For a plug-out the picture path is attached to the property (tagged value) stereotypeIconPath of the class-stereotype.
· It is possible to define a shortcut to do a browser search.

· A class is deployed for a given language only when it is non external and has a non empty definition.
· Classes stereotyped stereotype or metaclass are not deployed.
· An associated artifact is created for a class only when it is deployed for at least one language.

Uml projection 1.1:
· To manage Python

Plug-out upgrade 1.12.7:
· To add operations to access / modify Python definitions.
· Note : you must define the C++ preprocessor variable WITHPYTHON when your plug-out is implemented in C++ and you defined WITHCPP WITHJAVA WITHPHP and WITHIDL.

Plug-out empty:
· Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.

What's new in BOUML 4.8.1:

November 4th, 2008

· To modify through a plug-out some generation settings can produce a crash, fixed. You also have to fixe your plug-outs with plug-out upgrade.
· Add meta classes management. A meta class is a class stereotyped metaclass.
· Modify the way a stereotype extends a meta classe.

What's new in BOUML 4.8p1:

October 27th, 2008

· Since the release 4.6 a crash occured when only one language is selected and you modified the parameters list of an operation defined for an actor placed in a use case or a use case view, fixed.
· To manage the special form used to initialize an enum item in Java (value given in parameter rather than throw an assignment).
· On attribute and relation add the property modifiers derived, union (only active when derived is set), ordered and unique.
· New drawing settings show attribute modifiers and show relation modifiers to how / hide property modifiers in class diagrams. By default property modifiers are not shown.

What's new in BOUML 4.7:

October 11th, 2008

· The default screen set through the environment dialog is not taken account account when it is invalid (for instance when the left coordinate is greater than the right coordinate). Bouml now warns you in this case, and the environment dialog now doesn't allow wrong values.
· A state region can now contain states (including initial and final), pseudo states and state actions.
· Import generation settings now also import C++ include, Java import, Python import and Idl include definitions
· Plug-out upgrade 1.12.4: Modify the type of the first parameter of the operation UmlBaseStateAction::create() to UmlItem.
· Plug-out empty: Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.
· The previous releases of BOUML cannot read a project saved with this version. Obviously this release is able to read the projects made by previous releases of BOUML.

What's new in BOUML 4.5:

August 28th, 2008

· Previous releases may crashs when you load a project containing a modeled class instance (part of the browser) having a relation valuing a deleted modeled class instance (deletion was made in a previous session) , fixed.
· Add Java generation setting force package prefix generation. This setting is set by default for compatibility with previous releases.
· In the previous releases the name of a referenced class was prefixed by its package when it is not part of the current package even if you asked for import generation through dependencies stereotyped import.
· Now a referenced class is not prefixed by its package when the class or its package is imported and force package prefix generation is not set.
· The previous releases of BOUML cannot read a project saved with this version. Obviously this release is able to read the projects made by previous releases of BOUML.
