4.8.1

• To modify through a plug-out some generation settings can produce a crash, fixed.
  
  
• Add meta classes management. A meta class is a class stereotyped metaclass.
  The path of a meta class (by default http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.0/uml.xml or http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1/uml.xml depending on the XMI generation) is memorized through the property (tagged value) metaclassPath.
  
  
• Modify the way a stereotype extends a meta classe.
  In the previous releases you used the stereotype tab of the class editor, and the extending classes was memorized in the property (tagged value) stereotypeExtension.
  Now an extension is suported by an uni directional association from the stereotype (class stereotyped stereotype) to a meta class (class stereotyped metaclass). The explicit multiplicity 1 indicates the extension is required.
  When you load a project the properties stereotypeExtension of the stereotype are converted to extensions, the needed meta classes are created.
  You have to modify your plug-outs to use the meta classes and extensions rather than the properties stereotypeExtension on the stereotypes.
  
  
• Plug-out upgrade 1.12.6

• Uml projection 1.0.2
  To not project classes stereotyped stereotype nor metaclass nor placed under a package stereotyped profile.
  
  
• Plug-out empty
  Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.

4.8 patch 1

• 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.
  
  
• Java Generator 2.16.2 patch 1
  To manage the special form used to initialize an enum item (already managed by Java Reverse and Java Catalog).
  
  
• Python Generator 1.0.5
  In the previous release the code generation was done for Python 2.2 (explicit object inheritance) depending on the 2.2 flag at the generation setting level rather than at the classes level, fixed.
  In an operation definition ${class} produces the name of the class containing the operation.
  
  
• Plug-out upgrade 1.12.5
  To add the operations isDerived(), isDerivedUnion(), isOrdered(), isUnique() set_isDerived() (set both if the property is derived and if yes if it is derived union), set_isOrdered() and set_isUnique. on UmlBaseAttribute and UmlBaseRelation

  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.

4.7

• 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

• 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.

4.6.1

• Fixe a bug in the API with plug-outs occuring when you ask for a sequence diagram definition where an interaction use cover several life lines.
  Because of this bug the XMI2 generator can crash in when used with the previous release of the modeler.

4.6

• Under Windows, when the user configuration is wrong and designates a non writable home directory contrarilly to the directory given the environment variable USERPROFILE, the environment dialog is show each time you start the modeler, fixed.
  
  
• When only one target language is selected and you edit an operation, a modification of a parameter impacting the default definition of the operation was only done when you finish the cell edition by clicking in an other cell of the parameters table. Now this is also done when you go in an other tab or validate the operation edition (to click on an other cell isn't necessary).
  
  
• A fragment can now reference a diagram, mainly to define interaction use in sequence diagram. Arguments and return value can also be specified through a string (you have to give the full form containing parenthesis and ':' if expected).
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.6
  Export interaction uses, instance destructions, and continuations.
  Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.
  
  
• .pro Generator 2.1.4
  Add WITHPHP and WITHPYTHON if at least two WITH* are defined. Note : compatible with old plug-outs without Php nor Python.
  
  
• Plug-out upgrade 1.12.3
  On JavaSettings add operations isForcePackagePrefixGeneration and set_IsForcePackagePrefixGeneration.
  On CppSetting add operations builtinIn, builtinOut, builtinInOut and builtinReturn taking a string in argument, if the argument is a type defined in the first tab of the 'generation setting' dialog the returned value is the parameter definition depending on the direction, else a empty string/null. Also add setter operations set_BuiltinIn, set_BuiltinOut, set_BuiltinInOut and set_BuiltinReturn taken in argument the type and the new parameter definition, add the type if it is not yet defined through the first tab of the 'generation setting' dialog. On UmlBaseFragment add operations refer returning the diagram referenced by the fragment or null, arguments, covered returning the list of covered instances (life lines).
  On UmlBaseFragmentCompartment ajoute operations startContinuation and endContinuation.
  Add two pseudo message kinds in aMessageKind : aDestruction and anInteractionUse. The pseudo message corresponding to an interaction use is produced in the corresponding fragment and for only one of the covered instances. In these two new cases the operation to() returns as from()
  Note : even the python management is not done in plug-outs, you must define 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.
  
  
• 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.

4.5.1

• Some files like .boumlrc are created into your home directory, unfortunatelly under Windows some users have a wrong configuration (for instance the value of the environment variable HOMEPATH is empty) and the home directory is not writable. In this case the value of the environment variable USERPROFILE is used to specify the home directory.
  
  
• In the previous releases, to hide all the attributs/operations of a class in a class diagram through individual attribute/operation visibility and setting specify visible member rather than hidden ones didn't have effect, fixed.
  
  
• Fixing in the operation dialog similar to the one made in the Java generator, see below
  
  
• When only one target language is selected, when you modify the operation parameters through the associated dialog, the definition for the target language is now also updated (in the previous versions you had to add/remove/modify parameters by hand in the tab associated to the target language). However I encourage you to continue to check the definition for the target language after modifying the parameters (mainly for C++ where modifiers are produced depending on the parameter types and directions).
  If you don't like this feature, just set another language through the menu Languages.
  
  
• Java Generator 2.16.1
  In the previous releases, when the description or the definition of an operation defined in an interface or an @interface contains a '{', this character was replaced by a ';' and the code generation of the operation was stopped even when this '{' didn't correspond to the beginning of the body. Now this management is done only for the first '{' placed after ${)}.
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.5.9

• Add Java generation setting force package prefix generation. This setting is set by default for compatibility with previous releases.
  
  
• Java Generator 2.16
  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.

4.4.3

• Previous releases may crashs when you load a project containing modeled class instances (part of the browser) specifying value for relation(s) , fixed.
  
  
• Add keywords ${v<n>} to generate operation parameter default value in Python like for C++ and Php.

• Java Reverse 2.12.2
  Java Catalog 2.11.2
  In the previous releases a form T<...X...> produces a relation to the generic T when it is part of the reverse classes or known through a catalog. Now the form produces a relation to X if X is a known class and T is defined through the generation setting as the translation in Java of a relation/attribute stereotype (this is the case by default for List for instance)
  
  
• Roundtrip body 1.7.1
  Explain why the body of an operation can't be updated.

4.3.2

• Modify the attribution of the socket port number used to exchange data between the modeler and the plug-outs. The goal is to solve problems with firewall sometimes blocking the plug-outs.
  
  
• In the previous releases some information was get from environment variables, for instance BOUML_ID. Now these informations are memorized in the file .boumlrc placed into the home directory, and set through a dedicated dialog called through the entry Set environment in the menu Miscellaneous.
  This dialog is automatically called in case .boumlrc doesn't exist, and of course the values set through the defined environment variables are proposed.
  The shortcuts are now saved in the file .bouml_shortcuts
  
  
• The chapter of the reference manual corresponding to the type of the element selected in the browser is now shown by using the F1 key or the help menu (About dialog is now associated to the F2 key).
  The chapter starting is used if no project is load, if nothing is selected in the browser the chapter browser items is used.
  The directory where the documentation is placed can be specified by setting the environment (see above), you can also indicate which navigator will be used to show the HTML pages.
  Two setups are now distributed for Windows, one of them install the documentation.
  
  
• When you add an inherited operation the new operation is set not abtract. If it is not empty the Php definition is now forced to contain ${body}, to help in case the inherited operation is abstract.
  
  
• In the diagrams add go up/down to change a little the level of an element contrarilly to upper and lower.
  Of course you can define shortcuts to these new commands.
  
  
• XMI2 Import 1.2.10
  Little improvements.
  
  
• Project synchro 1.2
  Project control 1.2
  To not use environment variables. You must use the new release of the modeler to create the file .boumlrc before using these tools.

4.3.1

• When a plug-out is launch from an other one the trace is not cleared. It is also not cleared before the executions of the check/init plug-out associated to the stereotype.
  
  
• When an element stop to be stereotyped by a stereotype part of a profile, the properties associated to the stereotype are now removed.
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.5.6

  Other little improvements.
  Upgraded by Plug-out upgrade.
  
  
• C++ Generator 2.12.3
  Except if you explicitly ask for, the code generator tries to produce declarations in the header files and includes in the source files. Unfortunatelly this was also true for the template classes, fixed.
  
  
• Plug-out upgrade 1.12.1
  Fixe operation isToolRunning defined on UmlBaseItem.
  
  
• Plug-out empty
  Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.

4.3

• When a diagram is read-only it is now possible to do some operations like to save it in a picture.
  
  
• In the previous releases the header file of a C++ class declared external in C++ was always included in the header file of the other classes whatever it is used (by reference or pointer, or by value). Now it is included in the source file if you explicitly ask for through a dependency, whatever it is used. Note this is the reverse for the classes non declared external.
  To not modify the behavior of the already existing dependencies to classes declared external, their definition is forced to #include in header.

4.2.1

• In the previous release the python body of an operation was set when a plug-out asked for to set the Php body. Of course this was also the case for php reverse and roundtrip body. Fixed.
  
  
• In all the previous releases, when Bouml was compiled with a Qt3, when you opened a dialog from an other one, the first dialog was lowered, bypassed.
  
  
• Add profile management, refer to the documentation.
  The profile imports from an other one are not yet managed.
  Warning : only the properties associated to the profile can have a name containing two ':', the others will be removed.
  
  
• When you import a project into an other one, the plug-outs, attribute and relation stereotype correspondences and the class stereotype correspondences between the languages are now also added when they don't yet exist.
  
  
• In the shortcut definition the key Suppr is renamed Delete. In the previous releases some shortcut definitions may be lost when you reload a project, fixed.
  
  
• Modify the header added (then remove) when you set add operation profile on body edition through the menu languages to help external editor (BOUML_EDITOR) to compute the indent.

  Auto generation of import forms based on generalization, this means a generalization is also implicitly a dependency stereotyped import.
  
  
• XMI2 Import 1.2.7
  In the previous releases nested components was imported out of the container component, fixed.
  To import profiles and stereotypes.
  To import manifestations.
  To manage files produced by Eclipse (aggregate definition on other relation side)
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.5.4
  To produce profiles and stereotypes.
  To produce the associations between artifacts and other artifact or classes through manifestations.
  To optionaly generate relation as Eclipse (aggregate definition on other relation side)
  To allow to place <xmi:Documentation exporter="Bouml" ...> in comment else some tools refuse to import produced XMI or have problem after the import(for instance Rational Software Architech)
  
  
• Html documentation Generator 2.13.3
  To produce Profile/Stereotype rather than Package/Class if needed.

4.2

• Since the 4.0 it was not possible to modify the Php definition of an operation through a Plug-out without blocking it (including the Php reverse), fixed.
  
  
• New drawing setting named show attribute initialization allowing to write attribute initialization in a class picture in a class diagram. This setting have sense only when you also ask for to show the full members definition. By default this setting is set to false.
  
  
• Default operation parameter direction is now in rather than inout.
  
  
• XMI2 Import 1.2.6
  Improve management of primitive types.
  
  
• C++ Reverse 2.9.1
  To read anonymous namespaces (however they are not reported in the model).
  
  
• Uml projection 1.0
  New plug-out setting the definitions/declarations with their default value according to the generation settings. Create also the necessary deployment views and artifacts.
  Typically used after an XMI import to project the imported model in the desired language.
  Refer to the documentation.
  
  
• Because the format of the BOUML files is changed, 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.

4.1

• When several artifacts have the same name and you edit a class, the shown artifact may not the right one, and if you change it the class may not be associated to the desired one, fixed.
  
  
• New drawing setting named show members multiplicity allowing to write attribute multiplicity in a class picture in a class diagram. This setting have sense only when you also ask for to show the full members definition and when the drawing language is UML. By default this setting is set to false.
  
  
• New drawing setting named max members width allowing to limit attribute and operation width to a given number of characters. When the number of characters needed by an attribute or an operation is greater than max members width, the string is cut to max members width characters and "..." is added. Note : the optionally written visibility and stereotype are not taken into in the member width.
  
  
• XMI2 Import 1.2.5
  Spaces are replaced by '_' in the name of an imported class, attribute or relation.
  Fixe bug on operation parameter multiplicity reading.

4.0

• In the previous releases the position of the use cases in a use case diagram may not be the right one when you re-open the diagram and the zoom is not 100%, or when you change the zoom later, fixed.
  
  
• It was possible to move in the browser an element by drag&drop into a read-only one, fixed.
  
  
• Add management of Python
  Currently the scope of Python is not as large as it is for C++ and Java, for instance there is no Python definitions in the state machine and activities because this seems useless.
  
  
• In the previous releases a class was always drawn as an actor in a use case diagram, now this is just the default and a class can be drawn as a class (without members), or using boundary, control or entity icon.
  The name of use case is not anymore a separated label and the size of an actor now depend on its name, so, the position of the incoming and outgoing arrows and the position of the name will be impacted.

3.5

• When Qt is compiled with g++ option -fno-exception BOUML may crash on exit after an error, or after the execution of a plug-out in batch mode when the option -exit is given. Bypassed.
  
  
• Extra comment was produced in getter and setter when the associated attribute or relation definition contents a comment (this means comment marks are directly placed in the definition), fixed.
  
  
• In the previous releases ${value} doesn't produce the '=' in an attribute or relation initialisation. The '=' is now produced except if :
  • the value starts by '=' (may be after spaces)
  • a '=' is placed before ${value} (may be with spaces between them)
  • in C++ if the value starts by '=' (may be after spaces) to take into account a call of a constructor

3.4.1

• Default getter and setter definition was wrong in Java and C++ when the associated attribute/relation produces an array (because of its multiplicity), fixed.
  Furthermore in this case the setter definition in C++ stops to use a memcpy, and now copy the elements one by one.
  
  
• In the relation dialog the new button association allows to create a new class and set the value with it, or in case the value is a class to select it in the browser (like for the button type in the attribute dialog).
  
  
• C++ Generator 2.11.1
  Java Generator 2.14.1
  Php Generator 1.2.1
  Idl Generator 2.8.2
  When a class or an artifact have an empty definition the message contained the name of the element without its kind, this was disturbing in case the class and the artifact have the same name. Now the message indicates if the problem concerns the class or the artifact.
  

3.4

• Previous releases crash when you start to draw an association part of the model (not an anchor for instance) in a diagram and you use one of the buttons allowing to change the zoom, fixed.
  
  
• It is now possible to ask for to not add the indent dependent on the context when the body of an operation is produced. This feature is mainly added to simplify the work of the reverses and to preserve the original indent of the reversed operations.
  By default the indent depend on the context, this means for instance depend on the indent of its class.
  
  
• C++ Reverse 2.8
  Java Reverse 2.11
  Php Reverse 1.1
  Roundtrip body 1.6
  To ask for to not add the indent dependent on the context when the body of an operation is produced.
  
  
• C++ Generator 2.11
  Java Generator 2.14
  Php Generator 1.2
  To manage body indent not dependent on the context.
  
  
• Remark : Bouml is now also available on source forge
  
  
• Because the format of the BOUML files is changed, 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.

3.3.5

• The stereotype of an attribute was not copied to its getter and setter, fixed.
  
  
• Now when you create a new project the generation settings in Java use generics, for that by default :
  • the UML stereotypes list, set and map produce List, Set and Map in Java,
  • the attributes and relation definition in Java contains ${stereotype}<${type}> when the multiplicity is * or a form a..b whatever a and b are.
  
  
  
• C++ Reverse 2.7.2
  Previous releases may crash reaching a premature end of file, fixed.
  Fixing in the reverse of an operation having at least one parameter being a pointer to an operation having itself one parameter being an array.
  
  
• Java Reverse 2.10.2

  An extra line break was generated at the end of a non null comment when the form ${comment} or ${description} is placed at the end of the declaration/definition, fixed.

3.3.4

• Previous releases crash on undo when the diagram contains a constraint, fixed.
  
  
• A plug-out can now access to semantic informations not present in the model out of the drawing in use case, collaboration and sequence diagrams.
  • use case diagram : access to
    • the uses cases, actors, subjects and fragments present in the diagram,
    • the association between actor and uses case indicating if the actor is a primary or secondary actor in the association,
    • the subject and fragment compartment where the uses cases is drawn if this is the case
    Note that other data like inheritance between use cases are part of the model.
  • collaboration diagram : access to
    • the class instances present in the diagram,
    • the messages between instances, ordered on the rank
  • sequence diagram : access to
    • the class instances and fragments present in the diagram,
    • the messages between instances ordered on the sending time (vertical position in the diagram),
    • the fragment compartment where a message is sent,
    • the fragment compartment where the fragments may be drawn and the text may be placed in the fragments compartment (corresponding to a guard of a fragment alt for instance)
  
  
• Plug-out upgrade 1.10.2
  To access to the semantic informations from a use case, collaboration and sequence diagrams, through the new operation definition defined on UmlBaseCollaborationDiagram, UmlBaseSequenceDiagram and UmlBaseUseCaseDiagram.
  A new package named Diagram is created to place the new classes supporting these informations under the packages API BASE and API USER
  
  
• Plug-out empty
  Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.

3.3.3

• Previous releases crash when you add a reflexive message on a life line in a sequence diagram (this means not on a duration bar), fixed.

3.3.2

• Add missing relations when you open a diagram having the drawing settings 'draw all relations' valuing yes.
  
  
• In a component diagram when you move a containing component its nested components which intersect with it are also moved.
  
  
• In a use case diagram when you move a subject or a fragment the contained elements are also moved.
  
  
• If the element selected in the browser appears in the current diagram, the menu of the diagram (called by a right mouse click out of any element in the diagram) proposes to find the browser element in the diagram, this allows to select the representation(s) of the element in the diagram.
  
  
• Html documentation Generator 2.13.2
  Export properties (tagged values)

3.3.1

• Previous release crashes when you transform a sequence diagram containing fragment separator to use flat/overlapping activity bars, fixed.

3.3

• Previous releases may crash when you ask for replace a class instance in a sequence or collaboration diagram but there is no available class instance, fixed.
  
  
• Default getter and setter definition was wrong in Java when the corresponding attribute is initialized, fixed.
  
  
• dependency and C++ :
  • When you edit a dependency just after its creation, the C++ definition was shown as #include in source but the #include was produced in the header file (supposing you don't edit the relation or don't valid the edition), fixed.
  • In the previous releases, when you created a dependency the C++ definition produced the #include in the header file, but by default when you edit a relation to be a dependency the C++ definition produces the #include in the source file. Now, a newly created dependency produces the #include in the source file to follow the same rule in all the cases.
  
  
• sequence diagram :
  • Add explicit reflexive return
  • Add overlapping activity bars
  • By default the newly created sequence diagrams use the overlapping activity bars, but of course the existing diagrams don't use them.
  • A diagram using overlapping activity bars can be transformed to use flat activity bars, and vice versa. The overlapping level introduced by a reflexive message is propaged to the next messages, you may have to add explicit returns before transforming flat activity bars to overlapping ones. Known problem : the fragments 'alt' are not taken into account by the transformation, cutting first the activity bars crossing over the separators may help for. The transformation is not undoable, to save the project before may be a good idea !
  • in a diagram using overlapping activity bars, the reception of a synchronous message create a new overlapping activity bars, this is not the case for the reception of an asynchronous message (but you can ask for to create an overlapping activity bars through the menu of the message).
  • in a diagram using overlapping activity bars, a reflexive synchronous messages is always at the beginning of an activity bars and a reflexive returns at the end, you can't move them.
  • Like for the previous releases, I prefer to offer a high level of flexibility in the construction of the sequence diagrams, rather than to limit the available modifications or to modify the diagram may be by deleting messages in order to always have a consistent diagram. To quickly modify a diagram, may be to fixe unconsistencies, several facilities are available to change the start or end of a message to the parent activity bars or a new overlapping activity bars, or to collapse an activity bars with its parent activity bar.
  
  
• Add C++/Java/Php roundtrip operation body in the available shortcuts
  
  
• Character and background color for texts in diagrams (button abc) can be changed. By default a text is written in black and doesn't have background (it is transparent).
  Warning : in an SVG export the background color applied on all the rectangle sizing the text rather than on the background of the characters.
  
  
• The color of the character for the notes in diagrams can be changed. By default a note is written in black.
  
  
• Because the format of the BOUML files is changed, 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.

3.2.1

• Previous version modify the position of the labels in the diagrams in some cases, fixed.
  
  
• When you edited operation body through shortcut or context menu with add operation profile on body edition set, the operation profile was not be showed, fixed.

3.2

• The SVG produced for a component diagram contained floating point numbers. Depending on the settings associated to your country, the representation of a float can uses a ',' rather than a '.', not compatible with SVG. Now all the produced numbers are integers.
  
  
• Add xml:space="preserve" in the SVG text forms, at least to indent arguments given on several lines in a sequence diagram.
  
  
• It was not possible to add a state diagram icon and an activity diagram icon in a state diagram, component diagram, sequence diagram, collaboration diagram, object diagram, use case diagram, deployment diagram and activity diagram. Fixed.
  
  
• The interfaces provided and required by a nested subcomponent are automatically provided and required by the direct container component, but this didn't work for more levels, fixed.
  
  
• In a sequence diagram, the arguments given on several lines are shown pseudo centered, fixed.
  
  
• It was not possible for a component to require and provide the same interface, this limitation is removed.
  
  
• Modify the component dialog to set the realizing classes (wrongly labeled realized classes in previous releases) in a dedicated tab rather than to set them with the provided classes.
  
  
• Plug-out upgrade 1.10.1
  Since Bouml 2.28 the activities are not added, fixed.
  Rename the operation UmlBaseComponent::realizedClasses to realizingClasses. Warning, doesn't modify the exiting calls of realizedClasses. Rename the parameter realized of the operation UmlBaseComponent::set_AssociatedClasses to realizing
  Add operation PhpSettings::classUmlStereotype.
  Add operations UmlBaseItem::isMarked, UmlBaseItem::set_isMarked, UmlBaseItem::markedItems, UmlBaseItem::referencedBy, UmlBaseState::set_AssociatedDiagram, UmlBasePackage::loadProject, UmlBasePackage::saveProject and UmlBasePackage::isProjectModified if they are not defined.
