4.21

• In the previous releases only the operations whose name started by operator could contain non alphanumeric characters, this restriction is removed.
  
  
• require_once forms are now auto generated in Php when the Php definition of an artifact contains ${require_once} (this is the case for the new projects, you have to add it by yourself if you want this feature in your existing projects).
  The definition of an external class for Php is extended, if a second line is present this one is considered to contain the expected require_once form to produce.
  New generation settings to choose how the path of the required files are generated : without path, with absolute paths, with relative paths, with path relative to the root directory.
  
  
• Add Reverse/roundtrip settings with a dedicated edition dialog to specify through a regular expression the files and/or directories whose must not be taken into account during a reverse and roundtrip, allowing for instance to not reverse test programs.
  
  
• When you edit an attribute or an operation of a parametrized class or nested in parametrized class(es) the name of the formal parameters are now inserted in the list of proposed types.
  
  
• When several elements of the same type are selected in a diagram the multiple selection menu allows you to use the drawing settings of the first selected element for the other selected elements. Have associated shortcut command Same drawing settings.
  
  
• Extension of the drawing setting show context :
  • In diagrams the context of nested classes now contains the the container class when you ask for to indicate the namespace or java package or python package or module through the drawing setting show context or equivalent. Warning, this affects existing class diagrams
    
    
  • New drawing setting show context in members definition for classes in class diagrams. Only active when you also ask for to show the full members definition. To indicate or not the context of class(es) referenced in the declaration of an attribute or an operation like the context is indicated for the classes depending on show context or show classes and packages context.
    
    
  • In sequence diagrams add new drawing settings show classes context for class instances, and show context in messages for messages (only active when you also ask for to show the full operations definition).
    
    
  • In communication diagrams the drawing settings show packages context is renamed show classes and packages context and now also apply on class instances. To not change the already existing diagrams, when you open an old diagram this setting is set to no on the class intances.
    New drawing settings show context in messages for messages (only active when you also ask for to show the full operations definition).
    
    
  • In object diagram the drawing settings show packages context is renamed show classes and packages context and now also apply on class instances. To not change the already existing diagrams, when you open an old diagram this setting is set to no on the class intances.
    
    
• Add a button Apply in the drawing settings dialog to apply the new settings without exiting the dialog. Warning, the already applyied settings are not canceled through the button cancel.
  
  
• The list of opened non modal dialogs is now given by the dynamic menu Windows after the list of opened diagrams. This allow you to raise one of them, or to close all of them with the diagrams through the menu entry close all.

• Add constraint on activity and activity action.
  
  
• Java Generator 2.20.1

• 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.

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

4.19.2 patch 1 (Windows)

• This release only exists for Windows.
  
  
• Since release 4.19 a crash could occurred because of Microsoft Visual C++ compiler bug when a nested relation was drawn in a class diagram and changes was made concerning the drawn elements or the diagram itself (including the case where a new nested relation has to be drawn) , fixed.

4.19.2

• 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.

4.19.1

• 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.
  
  
• C++ Roundtrip 1.0.4
  Java Roundtrip 1.2.3
  To not empty the stereotypes when this is possible.
  
  
• Java Generator 2.19.2
  To not duplicate imports both defined in artifact definition and through dependencies.

4.19

• The message written to signal a message can't be added in a sequence diagram contained wrong characters, fixed.
  
  
• Add lost/found messages in sequence diagram.
  
  
• Add interface icon using a simple circle, extends drawing mode with it for classes in a class diagram, instances in a sequence diagram and actors in a use case diagram.
  To not change the already existing diagrams, when you open an old diagram showing classes stereotyped interface or instances of classes stereotyped interface, their drawing mode is forced to class when it values natural (even indirectly).
  
  
• In a sequence diagram, when an instance doesn't send nor receive message the menu of the instance proposes to hide/show the life line. To allow to draw a multiple instance with only one visible life line.
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.12.3
  To manage lost/found messages.
  
  
• Plug-out API
  The operation from() returns null for a UmlBaseMessage corresponding to a found message.
  The operation to() returns null for a UmlBaseMessage corresponding to a lost message.
  
  
• fr.lang updated.
  
  
• 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.

4.18.2

• The class instances wasn't colored 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, fixed.
  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 the 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 namespaces you need to check the packages having empty C++ source and header directory specifications to set them if needed.
  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.
  
  
• Uml projection 1.1.2
  Projection to C++ missed to set C++ header definition on already existing artifacts, fixed.

4.18.1

• A crash could occurred 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.

4.18

• 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.
  Warning, the default shortcut to generate Php source is now control h rather than control p.
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.12.2

• fr.lang, de.lang and es.lang updated.
  
  
• 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.

4.17.1

• A crash may occurred 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.

es.lang

• Complete version of es.lang to use Bouml in Spanish, this version is newer than Bouml 4.17 and can be used with any releases since 4.15.1 (useless before). Download es.lang and indicate where you place it through the "Miscellaneous / Edit environment" dialog. Many Thanks to Paulo Cesar Coronado.

4.17

• A crash occurred when you load an inconsistent model where two operations share the same internal identifier, fixed.
  
  
• The optional parameters wasn't given to the init/check plug-outs associated to the stereotypes part of profiles, fixed.
  
  
• The boxes representing the class instances was not produced in SVG when you didn't ask for to draw the shadows and they aren't transparent, fixed.
  
  
• Add the new shortcut commands Optimal scale, Optimal window size, Zoom +, Zoom - and Zoom 100% for diagrams.
  Also add control mouse wheel up/down management to increase / decrease the zoom.
  
  
• In a diagram to move the mouse with the mid click pressed moves the viewport accordingly.
  
  
• In a diagram add shift mouse wheel up/down management to scroll left/right (mouse wheel up/down already did scroll up/down).
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.12.1
  The post condition of an activity actions was not exported, and the pre conditions wasn't exported when the post condition was empty, fixed.
  
  
• C++ Roundtrip 1.0
  New plug-out, please refer to the documentation.
  
  
• C++ Reverse 2.12.1
  For compatibility with the roundtrip now the #file property is get from the project package rather than in the package where you start a reverse.
  To set the C++ source and header directory for the packages created during the reverse, try to use path relative to root directory if it is defined in the generation settings.
  
  
• Java Roundtrip 1.2.1

• Plug-out empty
  Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.
  
  
• es.lang added allowing to use the modeler in Spain, this work is in progress and some translations are still missing (in this case the English is used). Many thanks to Paulo Cesar Coronado for the translation. So you can currently choose between English, French German and Spain.
  
  
• Recall : if you are volunteer to add the translation for a new language contract me. The work consists to translate more than 2000 short sentences with a tool I developped 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.

4.16.4

• Facilitates the adding in a diagram of a incoming/outgoing line (transition, flow ...) to/from a small item already having lines.
  
  
• When you moved a decentered line having a geometry ( , , or ), the attached labels (name, stereotype ...) could be moved more than expected, fixed.

4.16.3

• Facilitates the selection in diagrams of small items having incoming and/or outgoing lines.
  
  
• When you add an element in a state diagram and its state container is already drawn, force the added element to be inside its state container or region. When you add a state the already draw sub elements are moved to be inside the added state, but because the added state is small this poorly place them.
  
  
• You can now decenter lines (relations, transition ...) having a geometry ( , , or ), when you change the geometry the line is first recentered on both extremities.
  
  
• C++ Generator 2.15.1
  A space was missing between the two last > in an inheritance of a template class when the last actual is also a template class, fixed.

4.16.2

• Except few exceptions when you resized element like classes the edge didn't follow the cursor, fixed.
  
  
• It was difficult to select a line drawn between an element to an other element placed inside the first one (for instance between a state machine and a sub state drawn inside its state machine), fixed.
  
  
• In activity diagrams the stereotype of an action is now written, except for opaque actions when you ask for to show their definition through the drawing settings.
  
  
• You can now change the parent of a state, pseudo state and region through drag&drop in the browser while you stay inside the container state machine.
  
  
• de.lang added allowing to use the modeler in German, this work is in progress and some translations are still missing (in this case the English is used). Many thanks to Oliver Rudolph for the translation. So you can currently choose between English, French and German.
  
  
• Recall : if you are volunteer to add the translation for a new language contact me. The work consists to translate more than 2000 short sentences with a tool I developped for that (of course you don't have to change the sources of Bouml).

4.16.1

• In all the previous releases an import project or import as library or import tools crashed the memory under Windows because of a bug in Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, bypassed.
  
  
• The tools dialog had wrong/random wording due to illegal memory accesses and some translation cases was missing, fixed.
  
  
• fr.lang updated

4.16

• The buttons show/edit body of the operation dialog had a wrong/random wording due to illegal memory accesses and some translation cases was missing, fixed.
  
  
• In the previous release in a use case diagram a class was represented as an actor even its stereotype was part of a profile and has an associated icon. Now like for in a class diagram the icon associated to the stereotype is used when the drawing setting values natural.
  
  
• It is now possible to show/hide the visibility of the relations between classes depending on the value of the drawing settings show relation visibility. By default the visibility of the relations of not shown.
  
  
• Messages in a sequence diagram can now be stereotyped (by textual stereotype out of profile). Default message stereotypes can be set through the default stereotype dialog.
  
  
• It is now possible to ask for to draw a decomposition indicator icon in a state in a state diagram. By default the icon is not shown. The fact the icon is drawn or not is under your responsability, Bouml doesn't check if this is consistent or not.

4.15.1

• Internationalization of the modeler's menus and dialogs using a translation files specified through the environment dialog. If you don't specify a translation file the English is used. Note : when you change the language some global menus are unchanged and description of buttons of already opened diagram too, to follow the new language for all exist then restart the modeler. Currently only the translation file fr.lang is available to use French because I only speak French and English
  
  If you are volunteer to add a new translation contact me and I will send you the small tool I made for that and how to do. I do not deny that it is quite laborious to translate more that 2000 sentences, be sure you will have the courage to do that before contacting me ;-)

4.15

• Allows to import a project as a library. A project imported as a library can't be modified in the importing project, but it can be updated to follow changes done in the imported project.
  In case the project imported as library contains others projects imported as library this ones are not considered like that, this means you can't update these sub projects separately but you have to ask for to update the container project you directly imported.
  To simplify management you can't update a project imported as library while the project is modified, this means you have to save first your project or to reload it to forget changes you don't want, and at the end of the update the project is saved, so you can't undo an update.
  This feature is dedicated to use projects defining librairies, not to work at several on the same project, for that see Project control and Project synchro

• When you deleted a package through a plug-out the container package was not marked modified and was not saved without an other reason marking it modified, and an error occurred when you reload the project, fixed.
  
  
• Under Windows, after exiting from Bouml using the [X] button in the title bar (rather than through the menu), the main window is closed but it is possible to have the bouml.exe process still alive and looping indefinitely (problem not reproducted signaled by only one user), bypassed.
  
  
• In a class diagram it is now possible to resize the classes drawn with the standard representation (not using an icon)
  
  
• New drawing setting hide get/set operations applying on 'official' get and set operations in class diagrams. By default get and set operations are shown.
  
  
• New C++ generation setting inline force include in header, when it is set the types referenced in the profile of the inline operations produce includes in the header like this was obligatory the case with the previous releases, else the code generator doesn't take care if there are inline operations to compute dependencies. This setting values true by default for the already existing projects to not perturbate them, but false by default when you create a new project.

4.13

• Add active on activity, class and state
  
  
• Add type specification of function's parameters and return values (pep-3107).
  When a return type is specified (it is not empty) the keyword ${type} produces the return type prefixed by ' -> '
  When the type of a parameter is specified (it is not empty) the corresponding ${<n>} produces the type prefixed by ': ' if the keyword is part of the parameter list definition (between ${(} and ${)})
  The code generator doesn't place the types between two string delimiters by itself, to produce a string with delimiters you have to enter these delimiters in the type definition at UML level.
  By default when you add a parameter the keyword ${<n>} is absent, it is added only if you set the new generation setting operation of Python 3 (pep-3107) (generation settings dialog Python[2]), and you have to change by yourself the default operation definition in the generation settings to add ${type} between ${)} and ':'

• Add management of ${type} for Php in operation, attribute and relation dialogs, a priori used in comment for instance php-comment forms. Note ${t<n>} 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.

• 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.

4.8.1

• 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.
  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.

• 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

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.

• 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 add 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.

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

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.
  
  
• 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.

• Fixe problem in the help dialog.
  
  
• When a class stereotyped typedef is read-only and you edit it, the base type is empty in the tab UML and the code preview in C++ tab doesn't show the base type too. Fixed
  
  
• The forms @{...} are now substituted in the code generated for the generalizations/realizations.
  
  
• Python Generator 1.0.2
  Fixe a bug in the computation of the dependencies to generate the import forms.

  Idl Generator 2.9.2
  To substitute forms @{...} in the code generated for the generalizations/realizations.

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
  To generate profile imports associated to dependencies stereotyped import between profiles.
  Upgraded by Plug-out upgrade.
  
  
• XMI2 Import 1.2.9

  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.
  
  
• XMI2 Generator 1.5.5
  To produce constraints
  
  
• XMI2 Import 1.2.8
  To import constraints
  
  
• C++ Generator 2.12.2

• Plug-out upgrade 1.12
  In the class UmlBasePackage the operation findNamespace is renamed findCppNamespace, the operation findPackage is renamed findJavaPackage and the operation findModule is renamed findIdlModule, If you call these operations you have to modify your code to use the new names.
  In the class UmlBaseOperation add the operations cppContextualBodyIndent, set_CppContextualBodyIndent, javaContextualBodyIndent, set_JavaContextualBodyIndent, phpContextualBodyIndent and set_PhpContextualBodyIndent.
  In the class PhpSettings add the static operations isGenerateJavadocStyleComment and set_IsGenerateJavadocStyleComment.
  In the class UmlBaseClass add the static operation findStereotype.
  In the class UmlBasePackage add the static operation updateProfiles.
  In the class UmlBaseItem add the operation applyStereotype.
  In the class UmlBaseFragmentCompartment modify the C++ definition texts() to bypass Microsoft Visual C++ limitation.
  
  
• 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.

4.2.1

• 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.
  
  
• Idl Generator 2.9.1
  To prefix the class names by their module if necessary.
  To not produce the ',' after the name of the last enumeration item
  
  
• Python Generator 1.0.1
  Artifact's name was missing in some cases in the code generated to reference classes, fixed.
  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.
  
  
• 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.

4.0

• 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.
