4.23 Ultimate

November 2010

In the previous releases in a diagram when you selected a line break of a line/relation/transition/flow and hit a Suppr/Delete or control-d the line/relation/transition/flow could disappears then reappears the next time you reopen the diagram, rather than to just remove the line break and join the two sub lines, fixed. (cf.)
In the previous releases, depending on the order of the changes, the tab instantiate of a class dialog could be wrongly validated/unvalidated or the list of actuals could not be up to date after you changed the list of the formals parameters of an inherited class, fixed.
In the previous releases after you resized a class to the its minimal height but not its minimal width, any modification of the class resized it to its minimal size, fixed. (cf.)
In the previous releases when you decreased the size of an element through the top-left or top-right or bottom-left corner and the minimal size was reached, the element moved, fixed. (cf.)
In the previous releases it was not allowed for an activity initial node to have several outgoing flow, this is now possible. (cf.)
In the previous releases when you updated a project imported as a library the body of the operations was emptied, fixed. (cf.)
In a communication diagram the instances can now be drawn using the actor or boundary or control or entity or interface icon depending on the drawing mode in the drawing settings. (cf.)
To not change the already existing diagrams, when you open an old diagram the drawing mode is initialized to class.
On parameter of operation add the multiplicity. Note this multiplicity is not taken into account to compute the default declaration/definition of an operation nor used by them.
The drawing setting show attributes multiplicity is renamed show members multiplicity and apply on attributes and operations.
The multiplicity is produced by a form ${m<n>} a priori in a comment.
On operation add the multiplicity of the return type introduced by UML 2.2. Note this multiplicity is not taken into account to compute the default declaration/definition of an operation.
The multiplicity is produced by the form ${multiplicity} a priori in a comment.
Add the default stereotype decisionInputFlow for decision input flow, introduced by UML 2.2
On activity actions add the attribute isLocallyReentrant introduced by UML 2.3
In the previous releases in C++ a friend class was indented with two spaces and a nested class with four spaces. Now you are able to set the expected indents through the generation settings. (cf.)
Php Generator 1.11
Since the release 4.22 a class declared external was always produced after a \ independently of the namespaces, fixed. (cf.)
To generate the multiplicity of the parameters and return type of the operations.
C++ Generator 2.19
To generate the multiplicity of the parameters and return type of the operations.
To manage friend class and nested class indent.
Java Generator 2.23
Idl Generator 2.16
Python Generator 1.6
To generate the multiplicity of the parameters and return type of the operations.
XMI2 Generator 1.15
In previous releases an activity final node was produced throw an uml:FinalNode rather than an uml:ActivityFinalNode, fixed. (cf.)
In previous releases the value of an enumeration item was produced throw a defaultValue rather than a specification, fixed. (cf.)
To manage the multiplicity of the parameters of the operations.
To manage the multiplicity of the operations return type, produced if you ask for at least an UML 2.2 generation.
To manage the decision input flow, produced if you ask for at least an UML 2.2 generation.
To manage activity actions's attribute isLocallyReentrant. It is produced if you ask for an UML 2.3 generation.
When you apply the plug-out when starting BOUML through a command line the specification of the UML version is now done through the options -uml2.0, -uml2.1, -uml2.2 or -uml2.3, the default is UML 2.3.
To produce the transitions in the right place removing the change introduced in Bouml 2.31.3 to bypass a bug in Eclipse.
Remark UML tool Modelio based on Eclipse manages incoming and outgoing flows only when they are specified specified through attributes, while Bouml produces them through elements (the two ways are legal in XMI, Bouml XMI import manages both), this may be a bug in Eclipse rather than Modelio.
XMI2 Import 1.10
In previous releases an activity final node was read throw an uml:FinalNode rather than an uml:ActivityFinalNode, fixed. To be able to import old files uml:FinalNode is still managed as uml:ActivityFinalNode. (cf.)
In previous releases the value of an enumeration item was read throw a defaultValue rather than a specification, fixed. To be able to import old files defaultValue is still managed as specification. (cf.)
To manage the multiplicity of the parameters and return type of the operations.
To manage the decision input flow.
To manage activity actions's attribute isLocallyReentrant.
Html documentation Generator 2.21
To produce activity actions's attribute isLocallyReentrant and multiplicity of operation's return type and parameters.
Plug-out upgrade 1.18.1
Add operations isLocallyReentrant and set_IsLocallyReentrant on class UmlBaseActivityAction.
Add operation multiplicity and set_Multiplicity on class UmlBaseOperation.
Add attribute multiplicity on class UmlBaseParameter.
Add operations friendClassIndent, set_FriendClassIndent, nestedClassIndent and set_NestedClassIndent on class CppSettings.

The input parameters of operations was wrongly managed as output parameters for C++, fixed. (cf.)
C++ utilities 1.1.3
To allow to add operator<< (cf.)
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.

4.22.2

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 keyword ${visibility} producing an invalid form in case the visibility is not package. This keyword 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.)

4.22.1

June 23th 2010

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

4.22

June 22th 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.)
Php Generator 1.10
To manage namespace.
Php Reverse 1.8
Previous releases didn't expect to read Php block(s) before the block containing classes, fixed.

Php Generator 1.9 patch (Windows)

June 10th 2010

Under Windows the Php generator terminated its execution when managing ${require_once} because of a missing compilation option.
The Php generator compiled with the right options is available here (cf.)

4.21

May 12th 2010

In the previous releases only the operations whose name started by operator could contain non alphanumeric characters, this restriction is removed. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
Extension of the drawing setting show context (cf.) :
- 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. (cf.)
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.

4.19.3

April 11th 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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)

4.19.2 patch 1 (Windows)

March 29th 2010

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

March 28th 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.

4.19.1

March 14th 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.
C++ Roundtrip 1.0.4
Java Roundtrip 1.2.3
To not empty the stereotypes when this is possible. (cf.)
Java Generator 2.19.2
To not duplicate imports both defined in artifact definition and through dependencies.

4.19

February 27th 2010

The message written to signal a message can't be added in a sequence diagram contained wrong characters, fixed. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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.

4.18.2

February 13th 2010

The class instances wasn't colored when you asked to not draw the shadow in a sequence or communication diagrams, fixed. (cf.)
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

February 6th 2010

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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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

January 24th 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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)

4.17.1

January 9th 2010

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

January 3th 2010

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

January 1th 2010

A crash occurred when you load an inconsistent model where two operations share the same internal identifier, fixed. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)

4.16.4

November 25th 2009

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

4.16.3

November 18th 2009

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. (cf.)
You can now decenter lines (relations, transition ...) having a geometry ( , , or ), when you change the geometry the line is first recentered on both extremities. (cf.)
C++ Generator 2.15.1

4.16.2

November 8th 2009

Except few exceptions when you resized element like classes the edge didn't follow the cursor, fixed. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)

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. (cf.)
The tools dialog had wrong/random wording due to illegal memory accesses and some translation cases was missing, fixed.
fr.lang updated

4.16

October 25th 2009

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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)
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. (cf.)

October 21th 2009

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

September 26th 2009

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

4.14

September 12th 2009

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. (cf.)
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.

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 ':'

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 <artifact name>.<class name> rather than <package name>.<artifact name>.<class name>, fixed.
In the special case of the artifact is named __init__ this one is now not generated, this means <package name>.<class name> is produced

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<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.

In state and activity diagrams it is now possible to resize forks and joins.
Check a property (tagged value) is present only one time when you valid the edition of an element.
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).

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.

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 https://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.0/uml.xml or https://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.

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

4.6.1

September, 24th 2008

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

September, 22th 2008

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.

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

September, 8th 2008

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 ${)}.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :

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.

3.3

November, 4th 2007

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.

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

October, 21th 2007

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.

3.0

October, 7th 2007

Add management of PHP 4 and 5
Currently the scope of PHP is not as large as it is for C++ and Java, for instance there is no PHP definitions in the state machine and activities because this seems useless.
Now the tabs dedicated to a given language are not shown in the dialogs when you don't ask for its management through the menu Languages.

2.32.1

September, 29th 2007

To distinguish external and internal self transitions (unfortunatelly drawn outside the state), the internal self transitions are now drawn with dot lines.
Optimal window size may produces a too small window when Bouml is compiled with a Qt 3, fixed.
In the previous releases when an attribute was duplicated the multiplicity was not copied, fixed.

2.32

September, 23th 2007

In the previous releases the lines are always drawn in the diagrams between the center of their extremities. Now it is possible to decenter them to have for instance . For that do a mouse click near the beginning or the end of a line and move the mouse with the click down.
It is not possible to decenter a line having its geometry set through the line menu geometry ( , , or ).
When you change the relative position of its extremities, a line may go to an other edge like when the line is not decenter, but the offset with the top or the left of the edge is unchanged.
Unfortunatelly the angle of a decenter line may change when the zoom is modified, because it is not always possible to have exactly the desired font size. This is mainly the case when the size of the extremities is linked to the font size, for instance for classes.
To come back to a centered drawing, use the submenu Geometry of the line menu and choose recenter begin or recenter end.
It is now possible to add state machines and activities under use cases and use case views.
I consider you have a multiple screens configuration if the desktop width is greater than 2000 pixels or two times its height. In this case a message box is shown when Bouml starts, speaking about BOUML_LIMIT_DESKTOP. To help users having a multiple screen configuration whose unfortunatelly don't read the FAQ or the documentation.
XMI2 Import 1.2.4
To allow state machines and activities under use cases and use case views rather than to place them on upper level or dedicated class views.
State machine generator 1.3.2
To manage state machines under use cases and use case views. Because the C++ code generation is not made for classes under use case or use case view the state machine generator produces an error when it is applied on a state machine place in a use cases or a use case views.
Plug-out upgrade 1.7.3
To remove ${throw} if present in the default C++ definition and declaration of the created operations (Java operations have exception RuntimeException not existing in C++).
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.

2.31.3

September, 16th 2007

Now, when you add an item to an enumeration (class stereotyped enum or enum_pattern), the item's type is set to the enumeration. Note : this is also done when the item is added by a plug-out.
Plug-outs can't add a flow from an expansion node, fixed.
XMI2 Generator 1.5.3

2.31.2

September, 11th 2007

Previous releases crash when you open a diagram referencing a modeled instance deleted in a previous session (this means you didn't open the considered diagram after the deletion of the instance in the same session), fixed.
Previous releases crash when you edit a read-only modeled instance, fixed.
XMI2 Generator 1.5.2
Modify export of template classes for Uml 2.1 to allow import by Eclipse.
When you export for Eclipse, ask for Uml 2.1 export and use the file extension xmi.
XMI2 Import 1.2.2

2.31.1

September, 2th 2007

Add a button in the IDL tab of the dialog for attributes allowing to specify a constant.
Java Reverse 2.9.1
In the previous releases, when the body of an operation was not on several lines, this one was directly placed in the definition of the operation, without using ${body}. This optimization is removed because this is a problem when you want to generate code with preserve operations's body.
C++ Generator 2.8.3
Text artifacts was generated with an unexpected extention, fixed.
State machine generator 1.3.1

C++ utilities 1.1.1
To allow to add constructor declared explicit.

2.31

August, 26th 2007

In the previous releases, when you move a state only the substates follow. Now the pseudo states and line breaks of associated transitions are also moved.
In the previous releases the self transition was considered internal (the exit and enter behaviors was not executed by the code produced by the state machine generator), now editing a self transition you can set it external. By default a self transition is still internal.
Add the stereotype text for the artifacts. An artifact having this stereotype doesn't have associated classes nor artifacts, and the code generators produce the source definition without any change (there is no C++ header for them). The extension of the generated file must be specified in the name of the artifact. This allows to produce any text file, for instance for yacc/bison. In a plug-out the definition depending on the language is accessible though the existing operations.
When you load an artifact saved by a previous release of Bouml having the stereotype text, this one is replaced by _text.
State machine generator 1.3
To manage external self transitions.
In the class corresponding to the state machine all the sub classes are declared friend allowing them to access to its protected members. Recall : the class instance corresponding to the state machine is given through the operation parameter stm.
Instrument parts of code using the stdio puts function protected by #ifdef VERBOSE_STATE_MACHINE, to help you to debug your machine. To add the instrumentation you must delete the class(es) realizing your state machine made by the previous releases of the state machine generator.

Previous releases crash when you duplicated a class instance using the marks, fixed.
Previous releases crash under Windows because of a C++ compiler bug in optimize speed mode, when you ask for some actions through the menu of a link between two instances in an object diagram. This occured for instance when you changed the geometry of the link. Fixed.
Add the entry duplicate in the menu of the class instances in the browser. Warning : when an instance is duplicated, the value of the attributes are copied but the value of the relations are not copied in the new instance.
Add the entry geometry in the menu of the link between class instances in a collaboration diagram.
C++ reverse 2.6.1
Several improvements in the management of the namespaces and the template forms.

2.30

Sometimes after closing a diagram or dialog the keyboard shortcut was not taken into account until you click some where on the Bouml window, fixed.
It was not possible to duplicate an attribute through a shortcut, fixed.
Add management of the multiplicity for the attributes.
The generation settings are modified to be able to set the default definition of an attribute depending on the multiplicity.
When you load a project, the attributes defined by previous releases have an empty multiplicity.
Java Reverse 2.9

If you call these operations you have to modify your code to use the new names.
- In the classes CppSettings, IdlSettings and JavaSettings, the operation attributeDecl has now a parameter giving the multiplicity (like relationDecl), and the operation set_AttributeDecl has a new parameter giving the multiplicity (like set_RelationDecl). You have to modify your code to give the multiplicity if you call these operations.
- In the class IdlSettings, the operations valuetypeAttributeDecl, unionItemDecl and constDecl have now a parameter giving the multiplicity (like relationDecl), and the operation set_ValuetypeAttributeDecl, set_UnionItemDecl and set_ConstDecl have a new parameter giving the multiplicity (like set_RelationDecl). You have to modify your code to give the multiplicity if you call these operations.

2.29.1

July, 17th 2007

Add new consistency checks when you load a project. Bouml signals when several elements share the same internal identifier and how it fixe this. This problem may occurs when you change the project file by hand or a tool (for instance to merge modifications), or when you don't follow the mandatory rules allowing to use Project synchro, or may be an unknown bug in Bouml.
In the previous releases, the browser search applyied only on the name of the elements.
Now you may also search for a string in the documentation of the elements or in their declaration/definition/body.
C++ reverse 2.5.2
In the previous releases you select one directory to reverse it. Now you are able to select several directories to reverse them both, press 'cancel' in the file dialog to start the reverse of the selected directories.
Recall : all the classes read during the reverse are created even if a class having the same name already exist in the model.
When you select several directories in a reverse, all the classes are supposed to be part of the same application.
So, to reverse the directory d1 then to reverse the directory d2 (two separated reverse) doesn't have the same behavior as to reverse d1 and d2 at the same time (reverse called one time, selecting the two directories).
Plug-out upgrade 1.6.3
Do the following modifications :
- UmlTypeSpec become a user classes and inherit on the new system classes UmlBaseTypeSpec.
- UmlParameter become user a classes and inherit on the new system classes UmlBaseParameter.
- Add system class UmlBaseView and user class UmlView. UmlView inherits UmlBaseView whose inherits UmlItem. UmlBaseClassView, UmlBaseComponentView, UmlBaseDeploymentView and UmlBaseUseCaseView inherits UmlView rather than directly UmlItem.
This upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML.

Previous release may crash, fixed.
Referenced by management take into account the class instances.
Modify the class instance management : don't create class instances in the model when you open a sequence diagram or collaboration diagram coming from a release less than 2.28.
In a sequence diagram or collaboration diagram it is possible to replace a class instances part of the model by a clone not part of the model (only graphical). On the opposite it is possible to transform an instance to insert it in the model, or to replace it by an already existing instance part of the model and having the same type.
Add inner class notation in the class diagrams , depending on the drawing setting draw all classes relations.
C++ reverse 2.5.1
To reverse a reference to a class as a relation rather than an attribute.

2.28

June, 24th 2007

Since release 2.21.3 you may loose template actuals when you load a project depending on class order in the browser, fixed.
Default stereotypes defined for relations between non classes was not proposed in edition since release 2.26.2, fixed.
The template actuals are now written as a label attached to a realization in a class diagram.
Recall : the stereotype bind is not automatically set on the realization of a bound class, it is your responsability to use it or not.
New browser element : the class instances .
When you open an object diagram coming from a previous release, a new class instances is created in the view containing the diagram for each drawn instance even if a class instances having the same name already exist in the same view.
When you open a sequence diagram or collaboration diagram coming from a previous release, a new class instances is created in the view containing the diagram for each drawn instance except if a class instances having the same name already exist in the same view.
To create all the class instances you have to open all the diagrams, this is done (temporary) when you generate the HTML documentation (however, the first HTML code generation may not export all the class instances even all of them are created, depending on the order of the elements).
New default stereotypes {complete,disjoint}, {incomplete,disjoint}, {complete,overlapping} and {incomplete,overlapping} for the generalizations (set only when you create a new project).
New default stereotype executionEnvironment for the deployment nodes (set only when you create a new project).
Previous releases use a default name when you create a Package, a view or a diagram. Now Bouml ask for a name.
Add drawing setting named drawing mode on the instances in a sequence diagram, equivalent to the same drawing setting already existing on the classes in a class diagram.
The stereotypes of the use case are now written in the use case diagrams (except the special stereotype realization).
It is now possible to unset the preferred size and scale for a diagram, to set only the preferred scale and to unset it.
The name substitution of the 'external' classes is now taken into account by the dialogs in the previews (Result after substitution).
Idl Generator 2.6.1
Add the management of the 'external' classes, managing name substitutions.
Html documentation Generator 2.10

When Bouml was compiled with a Qt 3, the SVG export produced fonts with a negative size, fixed.
Add default stereotype import for the dependencies. In Java, when a class depend on other classes or a packages and these dependency are stereotyped import, the ${imports} now produces the corresponding import forms.
Java Generator 2.10.1
A ',' was missing to separate several exceptions after throws in the code produced for an operation, fixed.
To replace ${imports} by imports forms specified by the dependencies stereotyped import.
C++ Generator 2.7.2
Generation of friend didn't take into account force namespace prefix generation, fixed.
State machine generator 1.2
Improvement to delete classes, operations and attributes produced by a previous state machine definition but now useless.
Warning : if a state or other element is renamed or was moved to have a new parent, the corresponding class or class member is deleted and a new one is created.
If you add classes or class members, these ones will not be deleted by State machine generator while their container is not itself deleted, and if they don't have a user property named STM generated (so, don't duplicate elements created by the State machine generator to not have this property or remove it after).
Note : the automatic deletion doesn't apply on elements created by previous releases of the State machine generator and not confirmed by the new release.
Follows the new API.
Plug-out upgrade 1.6.1

2.26

May, 8th 2007

Add constraint on class, operation, attribute and relation.
Constraints may be shown in a class diagram depending on the drawing settings named show information note and valuing false by default.
To limit the needed surface, all the constraints including the inherited and the ones of the members are shown in the same note attached to the class, rather than to produce a note for each constraint. By default all the constraints are shown when show information note is true, but you can choose which constraint must be visible through the constraint-note editor. If show information note is true but there is no constraint or you ask for hide them, the constraint-note is present but empty.
Note : you must enter the {} in the constraints to respect the UML notation because Bouml is not able to know where a constraint start and finish.
${comment} produced comments starting by // in C++. Now you may ask for Javadoc style comment through the generation settings.
${comment} produced comments starting by // in Java when the description used only one line. Now you may ask for Javadoc style comment through the generation settings in any case, this is the default, else the comments use //.

Add Multi pages printing. Now when you ask for print the current diagram and you valid the printer choice, a menu appears to allow you to choose a print on one, four or nine pages.

2.25.1

April, 29th 2007

The C++ generation setting was set to #include with root relative path when you ask for #include with relative path, fixed.
When a class inherits other class itself nested directly or indirectly in template class, it was not possible to set the corresponding actuals though the class dialog. This is now possible.
Known problem : can't manage correctly the case of a template class referenced several times in the inheritances (for instance class C1 : public C2<int>, public C2<char>::SC2 ...). In this case, while this problem is not solved you must replace ${type} in the generalizations definition by the right definition.
When the environment variable BOUML_TEMPLATE is defined, the project menu propose the entry Create from Template. When you select this entry the project specified by BOUML_TEMPLATE is load and a save as is automatically done. BOUML_TEMPLATE must values the pathname of a project file (a file having the extension prj). This help you to create a project where all the settings are set as you want. Generally the template project is empty and only defined to set the settings.
Now the size of the font used for the menus and dialogs is the one set through the menu Miscellaneous.

When you ask for #include with relative path or #include with root relative path and you #include a header file which artifact is placed in a package specifying an absolute path for the headers, the relative path to this absolute path was produced. Now in this case the absolute path is produced.
Since the release 2.22, in C++, the template header was not produced for the definition of static attributes or relations of a template class, when the member has an empty description, fixed.
To manage inheritances to a class nested directly or indirectly in template class. Same problem when a template class is referenced several times.
XMI Generator 1.4.4
A </UML:Namespace.ownedElement> was missing in the generation of use case dependencies and generalizations, fixed.
Java Generator 2.9.1
References to nested classes didn't contain container class, fixed.
Java Catalog 2.7.1
Java Reverse 2.7.1
Improvement to try to produce a relation rather than an attribute when a Java attribute's type is a generic form.

2.25

April, 22th 2007

In the previous releases the class dialog had a button to specify Java public visibility on class, this one is removed : now the Java visibility is the Uml one, like for the operations for instance.
Add visibility on non nested class at UML level (nested classes already had visibility).
When an old project is load
- for the nested classes : if the Java visibility was public the Uml visibility is set to public, else to package. If the C++ visibility followed Uml this one if changed to the desired visibility if needed.
- for the non nested classes : if the Java visibility was public the Uml visibility is set to public, else to package.
Default class visibility is package
Recall : package visibility is translated to public in C++.
In the new project the default class definition in Java contains ${visibility} rather than ${public}.
In the previous releases it was not possible to set the multiplicity in the two roles of an undirectional relation. This is possible now and of course the two multiplicities are visible in a class diagram when there are not empty. Note : a plug-out can't access to the second multiplicity of an undirectional relation because in this case the UmlRelation instance doesn't exist.
Now the C++ generation settings allow to ask for auto generated C++ #include relative to the root directory (the root directory is specified through the last tab of the generation settings). I hope four modes to generate #include is enough to satisfy everyone !
New drawing setting called show parameter name allowing to choose to hide or to show the operation parameters name when a class is drawn in a class diagram. Only active when show classes members full definition values yes. Values yes by default at project level and default at other levels to be compatible with the previous releases.
Now the drawing setting called show parameter direction is also active when the drawing language is UML.
Java Generator 2.9
Previous releases may crash, fixed
To manage ${visibility}, ${public} still managed.
In the previous releases the code generation for an operation defined in an @interface stop when a { was reached, still now this is not true when default is written after the parameter list, to allow annotation type with a default value using {}.
Follow the new API.
Rose project import 2.1.1
To manage ${visibility}, ${public} still managed.
Java Catalog 2.7
Java Reverse 2.7
To reverse class visibility.
To fixe the reverse of an annotation type with a default value using {}.
This allows to reverse all the Java version 6 (update 1) sources without warning nor error, producing 9425 classes, 48506 properties (attributes and relations) and 85939 operations. On my old PC under Windows XP, Pentium 4, CPU clock 3Ghz and 512 Mb of memory, this reverse is done in less than 7 minutes and the process size when all is reversed is 172 Mo.

Roundtrip body 1.0
New plug-out, can be applied on an artifact, a deployment view, a package, or the project.
Only active when preserve operations's body is set.
Allows to update the operation's bodies in the model from the sources using the marks inserted by a code generation made with preserve operations's body set.
Known problem : the bodies are updated like they are in the files, this means with an extra indent when the code generation was made with spaces before ${body} in the operations definitions.
XMI2 Generator 1.2.1
Fixe a bug in the generation of input pins.
Plug-out empty
Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.
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.

2.24

April, 15th 2007

There is no element selected in the browser when you just created a new project or after some cases of drag & drop inside the browser, at this time to hit a key (which may be or not a shortcut) crash Bouml, fixed.
Deployment node name and type was not correctly written in a deployment node diagram since release 2.22.1, fixed.
Add facilities in some editors :
- When you edit a link from an object diagram you can ask for an association creation through the button New. Note : when you create an association this one is automatically edited, but this editor is unreachable until you close the link editor.
- When you edit a message from a sequence diagram or a collaboration diagram you can ask for an operation creation through the button message:.
- When you edit a call behavior action part of an activity you can ask for an activity or state machine creation through the button behavior:. In this case the behavior is created in the view containing the activity.
- When you edit a call operation action part of an activity you can ask for an operation creation through the button operation:.
- When you edit a read / write / clear / add / remove variable action part of an activity you can ask for an attribute creation through the button variable:.
- When you edit an activity object, an activity parameter or an activity action pin, you can ask for a class creation through the button type:. In this case the class is created in the view containing the activity.
- When you edit an attribute you can ask for a class creation through the button type:. In this case the class is created in the view containing the class owning the attribute.
- When you edit an operation you can ask for a class creation through the button value type:. In this case the class is created in the view containing the class owning the operation.
- When you edit a class instance from a diagram you can ask for a class creation through the button class:. In this case the class is created in the view containing the diagram.
- When you edit a deployment node instance from a deployment diagram you can ask for a deployment node creation through the button node:. In this case the node is created in the view containing the diagram.
In the previous releases, the getter and setters was named get_${name} and set_${name} by default in UML. Now, through the generation settings, you may ask for using the rule defined in C++, Java, Idl or to follows the current rule, depending on the new toggles added near the getter and setters specifications for each language.
Add extension points in use cases.
Html documentation Generator 2.7
Upgraded by plug-out upgrade, to produce extension points.

2.23.1

April, 9th 2007

Bouml 2.23 crashed when a static association is not drawn as a straight line, fixed.
In a sequence diagram an activity bar may be drawn as a coregion.

2.23

April, 8th 2007

Previous releases allow to produce auto generated C++ #include without path or with an absolute pathname. Now it is also possible to ask for relative pathname through the C++ generation settings. Note : this doesn't apply for external types and external classes.
force namespace prefix generation is a new generation settings for C++ : in the previous releases the namespace was generated before a class name only when this class was not in the current namespace. This flag allows you to ask for namespace generation in all the cases. Set to false by default.
When you create a new project, the default C++ header definition now contains #ifndef ${NAMESPACE}_${NAME}_H and #define ${NAMESPACE}_${NAME}_H, and the default IDL source definition now contains #ifndef ${MODULE}_${NAME}_H and #define ${MODULE}_${NAME}_H.
In a class diagram the role's name of a static association is now underlined.
C++ Generator 2.5
To use synonymous classes through namespaces may produced incomplete list of class declarations and #include, fixed.
To force namespace prefix generation if asked through the generation settings
To produce #include with relative pathname if asked through the generation settings
In an artifact definition ${namespace} is replaced by the full namespace where :: become _. ${NAMESPACE} produces the same thing in uppercase. Allows to generate #ifdef forms taking the namespace into account.

2.22.2

April, 2th 2007

Since the release 2.22, in C++, the template header was not produced for the definition of the operations of a template class, when the operation has an empty description, fixed.
C++ Generator 2.4.7
Fixe the same bug.

2.22.1

April, 1th 2007

In the previous release the relations may be duplicated in the diagrams when you load them, fixed. When you load a diagram made or modified by the previous release, the redondant relation drawn are removed to have only one representation of each relation.
It was not possible to add activity and state diagram icon in the diagrams, fixed.
In the previous releases it may be not possible to load a project when its directory is read-only because it is not possible to create the lock directory. Now, when the lock directory can't be created but don't yet exist, the full project if considered read-only.
Add diagram export in SVG 1.1
Set the focus in one of the text sub-editor when you edit elements.
When you add a note in a diagram this note is immediatly edited, if you cancel the edition the note is still created but without text inside.
Improvements on diagram print : set orientation to landscape when the diagram's format is a landscape one. Memorize parameters color mode, page size and full page from a print to the next one in the same session. Note : depending on your printer and your operating system this may no work.
Classes stereotyped enum_pattern : in the Java definition the attribute value is now declared final by default in the generation settings of the new projects.
The Java getter and setter operations are now named get${Name} and set${Name} by default in the generation settings of the new projects.
Now it possible to unset the association of an element with a diagram.
Plug-out API
When the extension of the file name given in parameter to the operation UmlBaseDiagram::saveIn is svg the diagram is saved as an SVG picture, else a PNG picture.
This upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML.
Html documentation Generator 2.6.3
To allow to produce SVG files rather than PNG ones, using the new option -svg
In the new projects the HTML production using SVG is added in the tools list, you may modify the settings of the old projects to add this option.
The HTML now accept the following arguments (in order) :
- -flat, optional, to produce the class definitions in index.html rather than in separate files.
- -svg, optional, to produce SVG pictures rather than PNG ones.
- generated Html files directory (must not contains space) mandatory if the next arguments are given (except the port number given by BOUML itself)
- -del_html, optional, to remove already existing HTML files in the specified directory
- -del_css, optional, to replace the file style.css if it already exists in the specified directory, do not use this option if you have your own styles. Of course in all the cases style.css is created if it doesn't exist
Idl Generator 2.3.3
A ';' was missing at the end of module definition, fixed.

2.22

March, 10th 2007

Previous releases allow to define an association from a source artifact (artifact stereotyped source) to another artifact and forbid to do that from a non source artifact. This was wrong, the goal is to define association from a non source artifact to another artifact, not the reverse. Fixed.
New toggle add operation profile on body edition in the menu miscellaneous, it is exclusive with preserve operations's body, and not set by default. When you edit an operation's body and this toggle is set, the C++ or Java operation's definition you see behind result after substitution in the operation dialog is added before the operation body. This allows you to know which operation is edited and to see the operation profile. Of course the added header is removed when the (may be) new operation's body is taken into account.
New drawing setting called show parameter direction allowing to choose to hide or to show the operation parameters direction and default value when a class is drawn in a class diagram. Only active when show classes members full definition values yes and when the drawing language is UML. Values yes by default at project level and default at other levels to be compatible with the previous releases.
Modification of the drawing setting called draw all classes relations :
- in the previous releases it concerned only the relations between classes in a class diagram, now it applies on relations between any element in any diagram.
- in the previous releases it was possible to set this settings at class level, this means for a given class drawing. This is not possible anymore. To don't disturb old class diagrams, when a class has this setting set to no this setting is forced to no at diagram level. To don't disturb old other diagrams, this setting is forced to no for them.
- of course it is renamed draw all relations.
The getter and setter operations was updated each time the edition of the corresponding attribute or relation was confirmed. It is now possible to freeze their definition through a check box added in the C++, Java and IDL tab of the getter and setter operation dialog. By default their are not frozen to be compatible with previous releases.
In the generation settings it is now possible to ask for a C++ setter operation to receive its argument by reference. By default the argument is still given by value to be compatible with previous releases.
In the previous releases the generation directories specified in the generation settings was to be absolute. It is now possible to enter relative paths, relative to the project path.
MacOS X for intel : in the previous release the dot lines was not drawn correctly, fixed.
C++ Generator 2.4.6
In the previous releases the description of a static attribute was only generated for the attribute declaration but not for its definition, done.
To generate the template header of an operation definition or a static relation definition after the description associated to ${comment} or ${description} rather than before.

2.21.7

March, 3th 2007

Previous release doesn't allow to have project's name containing dots, fixed.
It was not possible to add generalization or dependency in a package through a plug-out, fixed.
To use the buttons or before loading a projet crash Bouml, fixed. Remark : these buttons are usefull only after loading a project and the selection of at least two elements in the browser.
Information, warning and critical message boxes are now placed taken into account the optional screen subpart specified by the environment variable BOUML_LIMIT_DESKTOP.
XMI2 Import 1.0
New plug-out, must be applied on a package, or the project.
Allows to import an XMI 2.1 file for UML 2.0 or 2.1, please refer to the documentation.

February, 18th 2007

When you edited a relation drawn from a non read-only class to a read-only class, the kind of the relation indicated in the dialog was wrong, fixed.
The name of a directory containing a project must be equal to the project's name. Produces a dedicated message when you try to open a project whose doesn't follow this rule.

2.21.5

February, 5th 2007

Bouml crashed when you edit a class having a dependency to a package, fixed.
Management of deleted but still referenced objects was not always done when a project was loaded and may produced a crash, fixed.
In an operation declaration, ${class} was not substituted by the class's name, this is done now. Because ${class} is normally not used in an operation declaration, the goal is probably to place it in the documentation.
In the previous releases a dependency not stereotyped friend produced an #include in the header file in C++. Now you are able to choose where the #include must be generated, and the default is now in the source file. Of course the already existing dependencies continue tu produce the #include in the header file while you don't modify them.
In the previous releases when a class A was duplicated to the class B only the constructor and destructor operations was renamed to use B rather than A. Now the operations and attributes are also modified to replace the references of A to B ( the texts containing A are unchanged, for instance an attribute of type A& and the body of the operations are unchanged).
C++ Generator 2.4.4
To substitute ${class} by the class's name in an operation declaration.
Improvement in the computing of the type dependency used to generate declaration and #include.

C++ Reverse 2.2.5
When an enumeration item having a specified value was reversed the '=' was missing in the corresponding attribute default value, fixed.
Complete fixing of operation parameter default value (previous fixing work only for inline operations defined inside their class).

2.21.3

January, 28th 2007

it was not possible to read a project containing a send signal or broadcast signal activity action with a non empty signal specified in the Ocl tab (produced the error message 'end' expected rather than 'uml'), fixed.
It was not possible to edit the body of an operator '/' or '/=' using the external editor specified through BOUML_EDITOR under Linux because I didn't replace the '/'. Now the special characters are replaced by '_' not only for Windows.
Project synchro 1.1
Project control 1.1
The revision of the project files not created nor modified by a release of Bouml greater or equal than 2.21 is now 0 rather than 1.
C++ Reverse 2.2.4
When an operation's parameter has a default value the UML parameter definition in Bouml contains this default value but it was not inserted in the C++ definition, fixed.
XMI2 Generator 1.0
New plug-out, must be applied on the project.
To produce XMI 2.1 for UML 2.0 or 2.1, please refer to the documentation.
Note : the old XMI 1.2 generator is still present.
This plug-out is configured by default in the new projects. The name of the executable to add it to the plug-outs list of the existing projects is gxmi2.
Plug-out upgrade 1.3.4
Add the missing operations isStream and set_IsStream in the class UmlBasePinParameter.
Fixe the definition of the operation reading the definition of a UmlBaseRemoveVariableValueAction and UmlBaseAddVariableValueAction.
UmlParameterSet inherits UmlActivityItem.
You must upgrade the plug-outs accessing to the activity elements.
Plug-out empty
Upgraded by plug-out upgrade.

2.21.2

January, 10th 2007

In locations where the default character set is not ISO_8859-1 (latin1) some key combinaisons like control-shift may produce unexpected character code and crash Bouml. Fixed.

2.21.1

December, 27th 2006

Add buttons ok and cancel in the dialog of the note and text, mainly to help MacOS X users because under this OS the dialog sub window doesn't propose a way to close it.
Project synchro 1.0
This new tool is not a plug-out, the executable named projectSynchro (with or without an extension depending on the operating system) is installed with BOUML.
This tool helps several persons to work on the same project when they don't access to the same shared project files, in case each user has his own copy of these files and works only on this copy. The tool automatizes the copy of the right files from an image of the project into an other one using the revision numbers. The project files are not merged, a given project file is supposed not modified by several users, for instance thanks to the use of project control. Because the tool use the revision, it is not possible to use it to synchronize projects modified by the previous releases of Bouml. Warning, if all the previous conditions are not followed, the tool must not be used, else the result is hazardeous.
Refer to the documentation, the chapter multi users considerations is also updated.

2.21

December, 17th 2006

Modifications to help several persons to work on the same project :
- A revision number and the BOUML_ID and name of the person doing the last modification are now saved in the file associated to the package. Note : the revision doesn't grow each time a package file is saved, the number saved is the value of the revision when the file was read more one.
- When you are the owner of a package (see Project control) and you add to it a new sub-package, Bouml proposes you to be the owner of this new sub-package.
- A project under the control or Project control or Project synchro is opened in read-only mode by Bouml (a message warns you).
- Project control 1.0
  This new tool is not a plug-out, the executable named projectControl (with or without an extension depending on the operating system) is installed with BOUML.
  This tool helps several persons to work on the same project by choosing who is able to modify a given package and its elements. Project control is usefull when you don't use a file control to modify the write permission of the project files. Please, refer to the documentation.
  Note : a second tool named project synchro coming soon will allows to synchronize a project developed in parallel by several persons.
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.

2.20

December, 10th 2006

In the previous releases, when you set the individual attribute visibility or individual operation visibility for a class in a class diagram, you indicated which members must be hidden. This means that when you add a member, it was visible. Now the dialog allows you to choose to set the visible or hidden members list.
It is now possible to add separators in the fragments.
it was already not possible to draw several times an activity, activity action, activity node, activity object, activity region, state or pseudo state in a diagram, now it is not possible to paste these elements when they are already drawn.
Modify the shortcut dialog to take into account the Mac specificities : the control key is replaced by the key , and the alt key is sometimes named option.
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.

2.19.5

December, 3th 2006

Complete shortcut management not yet done for some graphical elements.
In the previous releases, the trace sub window is shown and raise each time something is added by a plug-out by calling UmlCom::trace() operation. Now this is not mandatory, and two UmlCom static operations are added :
- void showTrace() : to show and raise the trace sub window
- void traceAutoRaise(bool y) : if y is true, the next times trace() will be called the trace sub window will be automatically shown and raised if needed. if y is false, the trace sub window will not be forced to be visible
To be compatible with the previous behavior, each time you start a plug-out the auto raise is set to true
C++ Generator 2.4.3
C++ Reverse 2.2.3
Java Generator 2.7.1

This upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML.

2.19.4

November, 28th 2006

By default to hit a return in the browser call the menu of the selected browser item, so is similar to a right mouse click done on the selected browser item. Note : if the last event was not made in the browser it is necessary to first activate it through a mouse click. Recall : the arrows allows to navigate through the browser, or through a menu.
The shortcut for the C++ code generation is now Control-g to avoid conflict with the shortcut for copy in a diagram (Control-c).
Now, by default the key Suppr has no effect in the browser, to delete an element hit Control-d.
The following shortcuts are removed :
- Control-n (new project), hit Alt-p then n
- Control-o (open project), hit Alt-p then o
- Control-w (close project), hit Alt-p then w
- Control-q (quit), hit Alt-p then q
- Control-t (show trace window), hit Alt-t then t
The entry Edit shortcuts in the menu Miscellaneous allows to edit the shortcuts. A shortcut applies on the selected element in the browser or the elements in the the diagram sub-windows. The shortcuts allow to execute a command available through a menu (like New operation) or to run a plug-out (for that you must enter the display string associated to the plug-out in the second tab of the shortcut editor). The commands are similar to the menu entries, edits the shortcuts to see them.
The shortucuts are saved in the file .bouml_shortcuts_<BOUML_ID> where <BOUML_ID> is replaced by its value, this file is located in the home directory and is created when you validate the shortcut edition.
Now, when you add an attribute or operation in a class through the browser, the added element is edited.
C++ Generator 2.4.2
Improvement in the computing of the type dependency to not generate useless #include in the header files.

2.19.3

November, 19th 2006

Bouml crashed when you open an object diagram having a link between two objects where the relation is not specified. Fixed.
In a message dialog called from a sequence diagram or a collaboration diagram the label 'message :' is replaced by a button, this one shows a menu proposing :
- if the current message is an operation : to select this operation in the browser
- if the message is not read-only and if an operation compatible with the object type is selected in the browser : to set the message to be this operation
In a class instance dialog the label class : is replaced by a button, this one shows a menu proposing :
- if the class is set : to select this class in the browser
- if the instance is not read-only and if a class is selected in the browser : to set the class to be this class
In a diagram, when several elements having drawing settings are selected and have the save type (for instance all are class or component etc), the menu appearing on a right mouse click now proposes to edit the drawing settings. By default in the drawing settings editor, all the settings are set to <unchanged> meaning that the value must not ne changed, all other value will be set for all the selected diagram's elements if you valid the edition.
C++ Generator 2.4.1
The keyword ${association} was not replaced by the associated type in the static relation definitions (the substitution was done in the declaration), fixed.
C++ Reverse 2.2.2
Previous releases was not able to reverse forms like template <void fonction()> class C {...} or template <template <class T> class U> class C {...}, fixed.

2.19.2

November, 12th 2006

Global change 1.0
New plug-out, must be applied on the project, or a package, class view, deployment view or an Operation.
Allows to do global modification of the artifact, classes, operations, attributes and relations definitions, working recursively from the browser element on which it is applied. May be used to propagate a change done on the generation settings to the already existing elements. See Global change.
This plug-out is automatically configured on the new project, to use it in your already existing project : the name of the executable is global_change, and the targets are the project, the package, class view, deployment view and Operation.

2.19.1

November, 6th 2006

Bouml produced an error message (like public//activity is not a visibility) when it read a project where a class view has a class setting set to a value different than default. This bug introduced in release 2.17 is fixed.

2.19

November, 5th 2006

Adds toggle preserve operations's body in the Miscellaneous menu, see code generation below.
Adds new colors.
C++ Generator 2.4
Java Generator 2.7
If the toggle preserve operations's body is set, the generators do not modify the body of the operations protected by dedicated delimiters. This means that for them the body definition set through BOUML is not used.
The first time you generate the code with the toggle set, because the delimiters are not yet present in the generated code, the operations's body will be updated depending on their definition under BOUML.
After, while the toggle is set and the delimiters present, the bodies will not change, allowing you to modify them out of BOUML.
Notes :
- In case the file containing a body definition is not consistent with the artifact under BOUML, the body will be regenerated by the code generation, using its definition under the model.
  Of course in C++ an operations becoming inline or stopping to be inline is not a problem.
- When you import a project, the body of the imported operations must be the right one in the imported model. The preserved bodies of the imported operations will not be find because the identifier of an operation used to mark its body changes during the import.
- The bodies under the model are not updated by the code generation (a new plug-out must be made for that).
- Only the operations using the keyword ${body} may have a preserved body.
- The only modification you can do in the lines containing the delimiters is the indent.
- The toggle is saved in the file associated to the project, be sure the save is done when you change this toggle !
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.

2.18.1

November, 1th 2006

When you start to draw a segmented relation in a diagram, and you don't abort its construction (for instance by a double click), and you do some specific action like to drag & drop a class from the browser to the diagram, BOUML may crash, Fixed.
Rename if needed the name of the setter operation's parameter when the associated attribute or relation role is renammed.

2.18

October, 22th 2006

The optional relation's name and stereotype are now shown in an object diagram.
The position of the required or provided interface's name in a component diagram was not saved, resetting their position when a diagram is reopen, fixed.
Modify the tools dialog to allow to attach a plug-out on any browser element.
The operation's menu in the browser proposes to directly edit the C++ and/or Java body when the corresponding operation's definition contains the keyword ${body}.
Java Catalog 2.5.3
JavaCatWindow::windows_style() was not compilable when Qt doesn't manage the windows style, fixed.
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.

2.17.2

October, 15th 2006

It is now not possible to draw two times the same state or pseudo state in a state diagram (but the already existing diagrams are not modified), warning : this check is not done when you do a paste.
It is now not possible to draw two times the same activity, activity node or region in an activity diagram (but the already existing diagrams are not modified), warning : this check is not done when you do a paste.
The description of the relations is now show/editable in the bottom right sub windows like for the other browser elements. Note : concern only the role 'a' of a bidirectional relation, to see/edit the documentation of the role 'b' you have to edit the relation.
Now two activity object nodes may have the same name in the browser because an activity object nodes is in fact a use of an activity object where you are able to specify its state.
Improve the computation of the initial size of a dialog.
Force modal dialogs to be upper to solve problem under MacOS X.
Linux
The toplevel Makefile is modified to help Gentoo Linux (at least) to package BOUML.
A bouml.desktop file is now installed (by default in /usr/share/applications), icons are also installed (by default in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ZxZ/apps/ where Z is a size, see the toplevel Makefile) allowing you to call BOUML through the sub menu development or through an icon placed on your desktop.
XMI Generator 1.4.3
Fixe a bug in the generation of a class having no attribute nor operation but only only relation(s).
Replace the default encoding ISO-8859 by ISO-8859-1, and add BOUML_CHARSET value if set.
Plug-out empty
Upgraded to manage activities.
Html documentation Generator 2.6.2
Fixe a problem in the computation of the generated files path under MacOS X.
Upgraded to manage activities.
Sort 1.2
Upgraded to manage activities (but they are not sorted). To avoid a conflict the operation weight is renamed orderWeight.
Plug-out upgrade 1.3.2
Upgrade the plug-outs to manage the activities.
This upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML.

2.17.1

September, 21th 2006

When you defined a get or set operation on an attribute or a relation, then you deleted it (but not the attribute or relation) and saved the project, then you reload the project, this one was unconsistent and its usage may produce a crash, fixed.
It was not possible to empty a non empty message in a sequence diagram, fixed.
Now when you add a new text in a diagram through the button text the text is immediatly edited, and the text is resized depending on your input. The resize is not done after the next editions, and the text element is deleted if it becomes empty.

2.17

September, 17th 2006

Add activities and activity diagram. Activities are allowed in class views, like for the states the activity diagrams are under the activities. Note : partitions will be available later.
In the previous releases a transition trigger, guard and activity was not shown in a state diagram while the transition had a name. The new drawing setting named show transition definition valuing false by default allows to choose between the name and the definition.
The default call of the HTML generator to generate a flat definition was ghtml - flat rather than ghtml -flat (ie had an extra space between the the minus and flat), fixed. Note : this wrong configuration is automatically fixed by BOUML.
When the class of a class instance is specified the menu of the class instance in a diagram (for instance a sequence diagram) has the entry select class in browser
When the message in a sequence diagram is an operation the menu of the message has the entry select operation in browser
It is now possible to have a dependency between a class and a package, in both directions. A package may now depend on a component or an artifact (the reverse dependencies was already possible).
In an attribute dialog the label type : is replaced by a button, this one shows a menu proposing :
- if the current type of the attribute is a class : to select this class in the browser
- if the attribute is not read-only and if a class is selected in the browser : to set the type to be this class
The same button replace the label indicating the value type in an operation dialog.
Plug-out API
Warning : a class having a dependency on a package has a children of type UmlNcRelation which is not a UmlClassItem, you may have to adapt your plug-outs to manage this case.
C++ Generator 2.3
Java Generator 2.6

State machine generator 1.1.1
The C++ definition of the inheritances to AnyState was GENERATED rather than ${type}, fixed.
The behaviors doActivity, entry and exit may now access to the state machine through the variable stm.
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.

2.16

July, 19th 2006

Add object diagram, they are allowed in use case views, use cases and class views.
Add subject (drawn as a rectangle) in the use case diagrams.
A package may be drawn in a collaboration diagram.
C++ Generator 2.2.3
Indicate the end of a namespace by a comment placed after '}'

2.15.4

July, 2th 2006

Fixe the drawing of a node in a deployment diagram to write first the optional stereotype.
To allow to define default stereotypes using non ISO_8859-1 (latin1) characters
The dialog tab User is renamed Properties, recall : it allows to set tagged values.

2.15.3

June, 26th 2006

In the previous releases, when you enter non ISO_8859-1 (latin1) characters in a dialog or documentation part, these ones was replaced on ok by a space because of a conversion from 16 bits Unicode to 8 bits latin1 character.
Now you may specify how to do the conversion (still to a 8 bits character) through the environment variable BOUML_CHARSET.
When this variable is undefined or has an empty value, the character set is ISO_8859-1. If its value is not a known character set's name, a dialog appears when you start BOUML giving the available names. So, to know the possible character sets, set BOUML_CHARSET to wrong for instance and call BOUML.
Examples (the list depends on the release of Qt) :
- ISO_8859-1 (latin1) for English, French, Italien, German ...
- ISO_8859-7 for Greek
- KOI8-R or KOI8-RU or CP_1251 to allow Cyrillic
- JIS7 for Japan
The specified encoding is used for :
- the description of every elements,
- the user keywords and associate values of every elements,
- the stereotype of every elements,
- the definition of the artifacts, classes, operations, attributes, relations and extra members,
- the state action behavior
- the state entry / exit / do behavior
- the transition trigger / guard / do behavior
- the notes and text in the diagrams
It is not used else where, for instance you can't use non ISO_8859-1 characters to name the elements or in a message of a sequence or collaboration diagram.
The specified encoding is followed in the project's files and for the exchanges with the plug-out, this means for instance that Cyrillic characters may be used in the comments and are generated unchanged by the code generators.
Html documentation Generator 2.5.3
To be compatible with non ISO_8859-1 character sets, remove the special management of accentued characters, for instance the character 'é' is generated unchanged rather than replaced by 'é'
The information specified through the plug-out use case wizard are now produced.
Use case wizard 1.1 (C++ version)
To manage non ISO_8859-1 character sets, get the desired encoding through the environment variable BOUML_CHARSET.

2.15.2

June, 18th 2006

Add the sub menu edit in the menu Project to edit the generation settings, default stereotypes, class settings at the project level, and drawing settings at the project level.
It is now possible to give arguments to the plug-out executed when BOUML is started. These arguments are given after the plug-out specification and before the optional -exit whose must be the last parameter of BOUML if present.
For instance :
- "C:\Program Files\Bouml\bouml" "D:\...\aze\aze.prj" -exec C:\Progra~1\Bouml\gxmi -uml c:\aze.xmi windows-1252 -exit
- bouml .../qsd/qsd.prj -exec -flat /usr/lib/bouml/ghtml /tmp/qsd_html -del_html -exit
Html documentation Generator 2.5.2
Now use a css file to define used styles, allowing you to modify them
Classes descriptions was produced in separated files, now you may ask to produce them in index.html, helping to print the result or produce a pdf file, see -flat below. Now when you create a new project by default the two ways are set in the Tools settings, you may modify the settings of the old projects to add this option.
Accept the following arguments (in order) :
- -flat, optional, to produce the class definitions in index.html rather than in separate files.
- generated Html files directory (must not contains space) mandatory if the next arguments are given (except the port number given by BOUML itself)
- -del_html, optional, to remove already existing HTML files in the specified directory
- -del_css, optional, to replace the file style.css if it already exists in the specified directory, do not use this option if you have your own styles. Of course in all the cases style.css is created if it doesn't exist
In case the generated files directory is specified the dialogs don't appears, this allows to generate the HTML documentation without any manual action.
XMI Generator 1.4.1
Accept the following arguments (in order) :
- -uml or -c++ or -java
  to specify the target language, mandatory if other arguments are given (except the port number given by BOUML itself)
- generated XMI file path (must not contains space)
- encoding, for instance windows-1252
- -view, optional, to generate views as package
- -simpleTv to generate tagged values with the simple form, -complexTv to generate tagged values with the complex form, else the tagged values are not generated
In case these arguments are given the dialog doesn't appears, this allows to export a project in XMI without any manual action.

2.15.1

June, 11th 2006

Since the 2.14.5 the modification of a relation between classes shown in a class diagram produces an infinite loop if the line is segmented, fixed.
Generalize the management in the diagrams of the self-relations from the classes to the packages, components etc ..., i.e. to move the self relations with the object, to automatically add two break line points when you draw a self relation.
To follows the norme : when you ask to hide class's attributes or operations through to the drawing setting "hide attributes" or "hide operations" the corresponding separators are not drawn.
If you hide attributes / operations individualy the separators are drawn even if you hide all the attributes / operations.
The computing of the size of a class in a class diagram is unchanged (space taken by a hidden separator is still present) to not deteriorate the vertical alignments of the classes in your already existing diagrams.
Java Catalog 2.5.2
Java Reverse 2.5.2
Since the 2.14 the visibility is not set for the reversed operations and relations, fixed.

2.15

June, 4th 2006

It is now possible to apply a plug-out on the project when BOUML is started :
- bouml <project file> -exec <plug out> -exit
- <project file> indicates the model to load as usual.
- <plug out> indicates the plug-out to apply on the project. The C++ generator is named cpp_generator, the Java generator java_generator, the Idl generator idl_generator, the HTML generator ghtml, the XMI generator gxmi. If necessary the full path of the plug-out have to be done, warning : under Windows this path must not contain space.
- -exit is optional and allows to exit from BOUML when the plug-out execution is done.
For instance :
- "C:\Program Files\Bouml\bouml" "D:\...\aze\aze.prj" -exec C:\Progra~1\Bouml\cpp_generator
- bouml .../qsd/qsd.prj -exec "java -cp /tmp/wxc Main" -exit
Add the new drawing settings 'draw shadow' to show or not the shadow introduced in the release 2.14.4, it may be set on project, packages, views and diagrams levels, not on a diagram element. By default the shadows are shown, if you don't like shadows set the drawing settings on the project level as usual to globaly specify your choice.
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.

2.14.5

May, 28th 2006

Under Windows the path of the file edited by the editor specified by BOUML_EDITOR is now a Windows path rather than a Unix path (i.e. with '\' rather than '/') to not disturb editor like PsPad.
In a class diagram the class associations are now automatically shown using an anchor between the relation and the associated class, except if the drawing setting draw all classes relation is set to no. This is done then the relation is added in the diagram and the associated class is present, or when you edit the relation to set/remove the association and the relation and class are present.
Drawing an anchor between a relation and a class now updates the class association. Deleting the anchor doesn't remove the class association from the model, for that you must edit the relation.
Java Generator 2.5.3
Fixe a bug on the generation of the enum pattern items introduced in the previous release.
Html documentation Generator 2.5.1
Manage the actuals of a Java generic instantiation.

2.14.4

May, 21th 2006

The default position of a transition's label was wrong when the trigger, guard and activity are written verticaly, fixed.
Change the default definition of an enum item in Java to move ${@} before ${name} rather than after.
An actor is now drawn with its icon in a sequence diagram.
Add a shadow to some elements in the diagrams. Note : a transparent element doesn't have shadow.
Add the button in the diagrams helping to do an Optimal windows size without using the menu of the diagrams menu
Modify the plug-out API to add on the class UmlBaseRelation the operation side, if its argument is true returns the relation associated to the role A, else the relation associated to the role B or 0/null if the relation is non bi-directional.
Java Generator 2.5.2
Like in C++, when a class inherits or realizes a generic class the tab Instantiate of the class dialog is the standard way to specify the actuals. Now these actuals are generated when the generalization/realization definition contains ${type}. When the class is undefined or is not known as a generic because of the current environment the actuals have to be set directly the relation's definition as I said in the historic of the release 2.13
Annotation was not generated for an enum_pattern, fixed.
Java Catalog 2.5.1
Java Reverse 2.5.1
Management of the generics
C++ Generator 2.2.2
Produce '> >' rather than '>>' in a template class instantiation, adding a space before '>' after the generation of the last actuals being itself a template class.
C++ Reverse 2.2.1
The namespace containing reversed enum and typedef was forgotten, fixed.
XMI Generator 1.4
Stop to generate a bi-directional relation as two distinct relations.
For the C++ generation, in some cases when a type being an operation return value is defined, its name contains the keyword $<inline>, fixed.
Follows the new API
Plug-out upgrade 1.3
Upgrade the plug-outs to add the operation side on UmlbaseRelation.
This upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML.
Plug-out empty
Upgraded by Plug-out upgrade
Sort
To avoid a conflict under Linux, the executable is renamed from sort to browsersort.
Deploy 1.0
New plug-out, must be applied on a class view.
This plug-out automatizes the creation of the artifact for all the classes of the class view on which the plug-out ins applied :
- If the class view doesn't have an associated deployment view, an associated deployment view having the name of the class view is created in the same package.
- An artifact with the stereotype source is created and associated to all the classes of the class view without associated artifact, the name of the artifact is the name of the class.
This plug-out is automatically configured on the new project, to use it in your already existing project : the name of the executable is deplcl, and the target is a class view.

2.14.3

May, 1th 2006

Add the commands save optimal picture part and copy optimal picture part in the diagram's menu. These commands do an optimal window size before the corresponding save/copy visible picture part, then restore the window size. This allows to get all the elements of the diagram more easily.
The plug-out operation UmlBaseDiagram::saveIn did an optimal scale when the diagram doesn't have a preferred size and scale. Now the optimal scale is replaced by an optimal window size. When the saved diagram is already opened, the current scale is unchanged and an optimal window size is done even if the diagram has a preferred size and scale. This impacts the behavior of the plug-out Html documentation Generator
Note : the behavior of the command print done through the icon is unchanged, to print all the elements of the active diagram do first an optimal window size.

2.14.2

April, 29th 2006

When the scale is not 100%, the automatic update of the position of the two intermediate points of a line having the geometry or may crash BOUML depending on the position of the elements ending the line. Fixed

2.14.1

April, 24th 2006

Java Generator 2.5.1
C++ Generator 2.2.1
Idl Generator 2.2.1
Fixe a bug in the code generation of get/set operations applied on a relation.

2.14

April, 23th 2006

Add the management of the visibility package. In C++ or Idl the visibility package is translated to public.
A relation's stereotype starting by the character '{' is now not written between < < and >>, this allows to specify the constraints through the stereotype and to see them as desired.
C++ Reverse 2.2
To manage more Qt pre-processor identifiers and the visibility package.
Java Catalog 2.5
Java Reverse 2.5

Plug-out upgrade 1.2
Upgrade the plug-outs to manage class association and the visibility package.
This upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML, they receive the visibility public rather than package even in Java.
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.

2.13

April, 17th 2006

Starting to draw a relation and doing an undo before to reach the target has undesired effect depending on the next action, including a crash, fixed.
Add the possibility to set the geometry of the lines in the diagram (except for the messages in a sequence diagram) to have a right angle ( or ) or a crank ( or ).
While you do not change by hand the position of the central line of a crank the geometry is preserved when you move one of the extremity of the crank, else the central line stop to be automatically moved.
To set / unset the geometry of a line you may select the line and press Control l as many time as necessary, or call the menu of the line and use the sub-menu geometry.
Change the way to specify a generalisation or realization. In the previous releases these relations are generated when they are specified as Generated through the button Generated in or by default thanks to the toggle default definition in the menu Miscellaneous.
From now the button Generated is replaced by the button Default declaration and the default form became ${type} which is replaced during the code generation by the name of the generalised or realized class. This allows to modify the code generated, for instance in Java to replace the inheritance to Sequence by Sequence<int> replacing the default declaration by ${type}<int>.
Of course when you load an old project the form Generated is automatically changed to ${type}.
Add the management of the class associations. The relation dialog is modified to allow to specify the associated class or type, this one is generated through the new keyword ${association}.
Note : you must add the keyword ${association} by hand in the declaration, for instance in C++ if you have a relation to the class C and the associated class is K and you want to specify a stl map having the key K and the value C, set the stereotype to map, specify a multiplicity like *, ask for the default declaration, and replace the form <${type}> by <${association}, ${type}>
Note : the management of the class associations is not yet done in the class diagrams
In java a class member has a package visibility when the keyword ${visibility} is not present in its definition. In a class diagram, when the drawing language is Java, the visibility marker (+, - or #) is now not shown for the class's members having a package visibility.
Change the way to compute the 'get_' and 'set_' operations to manage cases where the default operation definition contains additional '}' after the '}' ending the body (for instance because of a comment containing a keyword). Manage class associations
Add the landscape formats corresponding to the already existing formats of diagram.
C++ Reverse 2.1
In the previous releases an own artifact was created for each reversed class. From now the classes defined in the same header file will be associated to the same artifact named like the reversed file. Of course this is possible only if all the classes are in the same namespace or are not in a namespace, else one artifact per namespace will be created in different packages.
The classes defined in a source file rather than a header file are associated to an artifact having the name of the class. Note that if the classes A and B are reverse from the file C.h, and if a source file in the same directory define the class C, and if the three classes are defined in the same namespace or are not defined in a namespace, the three classes will associated to the same artifact C, whatever the name of the source file defining the class C.
To manage the new definition of the generalisation and realization.
Note : the class associations are not yet used by the reverse.

2.12.2

April, 9th 2006

The code generations are now made in non verbose mode by default, to set / unset the verbose mode use the corresponding toggle in the menu Miscellaneous. Note : this toggle is saved in the session file
Plug-out upgrade 1.1
Upgrade the plug-outs mainly to manage the Java JDK 5, this upgrade is not mandatory : old plug-outs are compatible with this new releases of BOUML.
To use the new features on an existing plug-out, because of the renamings explain below, you must upgrade the plug-out before modifying your sources to call new operations.
In case the upgrade is done :
- Some operations of the class JavaSettings are renamed : enumDecl become enumPatternDecl, set_EnumDecl become set_EnumPatternDecl, enumItemDecl become enumPatternItemDecl, set_EnumItemDecl become set_EnumPatternItemDecl, enumItemCase become enumPatternItemCase, and set_EnumItemCase become set_EnumPatternItemCase.
- The Internal API base enums items corresponding to the corresponding commands and the attributes memorizing the corresponding java settings are also renamed.
- The body of all the operations are updated to use the renamed operations of JavaSettings, there is no update for the artifact definition, state entry/exit behavior, transition trigger etc ...
- The new operations enumDecl, set_EnumDecl, enumItemDecl and set_EnumItemDecl are added to JavaSettings.
- The new operations javaAnnotations and set_JavaAnnotations are added to UmlBaseClassMember
- Other internal API base addings are also made.
- On the class UmlBasePackage the operation associatedDiagram is modified to return a UmlDiagram rather than a UmlClassDiagram, and the operation set_AssociatedDiagram is modified to get a UmlDiagram rather than a UmlClassDiagram.
- Fixe a bug in the Java definition of the operation read_ of UmlBaseActualParameter.
C++ Generator 2.1
Java Generator 2.4
Idl Generator 2.1
Limit the number of messages produced in the trace windows when the code generation is non verbose, in this case there is no message when a class doesn't have a definition or an associated artifact, or when a generated file is not modified (when both the source and header files are unchanged in C++). Follows the new API

2.12.1

April, 4th 2006

Since the release 2.11 the edition of a read-only class, operation, attribute or relation crashes BOUML, fixed.

2.12

April, 2th 2006

After setting a default color for the class instances at a sequence diagram or collaboration diagram level it was not possible to reload the project (produced the error message 'end' expected rather than 'class_instance'), fixed.
Fixe bugs in the computing of minimum size or the resizeable diagram elements (package, node etc ...) depending on the zoom.
The drawing settings show packages name in tab was not always correctly managed, fixed.
Management of the Java JDK 5 generics. The tab Parametrized of the class dialog is modified. In Java only the columns name and optionaly extends are used. The definition of a class is not modified (this means that there is no new keywords), if the class has parameters they are generated after the class's name by ${name}.
New font management helping Qt to use a font corresponding to the scale. Note : the improvement depends on the OS and the Qt release : there is no change with Qt 2.3 under Linux, small fonts are now used with Qt 3 under Linux and with Qt 2.3 under windows.
Adds new colors including white.
In the annotation dialog indicates the member's name when you add an annotation having at least two members.
Java Generator 2.3
Adds the management of the generics.
Java Catalog 2.3
Java Reverse 2.3
Adds the management of the annotations's operations with a default value. Remark : the management of the generics is not yet done.
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.

2.11

March, 26th 2006

Management of the Java JDK 5 annotations.
Adds the class stereotype @interface, when you ask for the default annotation definition in Java, the default interface definition is used then '@' is added before interface.
The new keyword ${@} is allowed in the Java definition of the classes, attributes, associations and operations, of course this keyword is replaced by the annotations by the code generator. When you create a new project this keyword is placed after ${comment}.
In the dialogs the button Edit annotation is added to modify the annotations through a dedicated dialog. The proposed annotations are the pre-defined Java annotations @Deprecated, @Documented, @Inherit, @Override, @Retention, @SuppressWarnings and @Target more the classes having the stereotype @interface, but any annotation may be enter by hand in the multi-lines editor.
Obviously the button Edit annotation is only active when the definition contains the keyword ${@}, you have to add the keyword in the definitions of the old projects to be able to set the annotations
Java Generator 2.2
Adds the management of the annotations.
Java Catalog 2.2
Java Reverse 2.2
Adds the management of the annotations.
Manage class's members without specified visibility

2.10

March, 21th 2006

Deployment nodes was improperly resized in some cases, fixed.
The resize of a resizeable element (package, note...) was wrongly managed by undo / redo, fixed.
When a move is done through the keyboard arrows using the auto repeat, the complete move is saved in the historic rather than each individual move.
Add a button edit in the diagram's toolbar to call the diagram's menu like with a right mouse click done out of all the elements.
Add new format of diagrams : Iso A0 and A1, US D and E.
When you move a package in a diagram, the artifact, class, component, deployment node, package and use cases defined in the package (not through an other one) and in collision with the package at the beginning of the move are also moved. If you want to also move the connected elements, do a very short move (for instance use the keyboard arrows to do a move and its opposite) then ask for select linked items and restart the move. Note : contrarilly to the states> when you resize a package the sub-elements are not moved to stay in it.
C++ Reverse 2.0.9
Adds the management of the template friend in C++.
Other improvements
File Control 1.0.3
Your command is applied on the auxiliairy files cpp_includes, generation_settings, idl_includes, java_imports, stereotypes and tools when the Plug-out in applied on the project. Check if a file exists before applying the command.
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.

2.9.7

March, 14th 2006

File Control 1.0.2
Do the save before applying the command on the files ! Two errors on a so small program, grrrrrr :-(

2.9.6

March, 13th 2006

File Control 1.0.1
Fixe a bug in the computing of %dir, sorry.

2.9.5

March, 12th 2006

Adds Undo Redo in the diagrams, the shortcuts are Control-z and Control-u for undo, Control-y and Control-r for redo. The depth of the historic is 20, it is emptied on the editions (including the drawing setting edition), the browser element deletion/undeletion, the change of scale or diagram format, etc ... The undoable operations are moving, removing from view, element adding.
The menu of a class diagram (shown on a right mouse click done in the diagram out of any diagram element) proposes the new entry add classes of the selected class view when the selected browser element is a class view containing class(es) not already shown in the class diagram.
C++ Generator 2.0.16
Fixe a bug in the calculation of the dependencies.
XMI Generator 1.1.2
Do not place several UML:TaggedValue in the same ModelElement.taggedValue
Java Catalog 2.1.3
Java Reverse 2.1.2
It was not possible to reverse a nested enum, fixed
Html Generator 2.3.1
Rename the generated files index_X where X is a character, replacing this one by its ascii code to not have illegal filenames under Windows.
Plug-out empty
Fixe the profile of UmlBasePackage::getProject() to return a UmlPackage rather than a UmlBasePackage.
File Control 1.0
New plug-out, must be applied on the project or a package.
This plug-out is written to do check-in or check-out on the files of a project. Because I don't know what file control you use (CVS ...) this plug-out asks for the command to be made on each file. The command is executed through the function system, don't forget to give the option -nc for clear case. Of course in case you don't use a file control you may use this plug-out to set the file permissions using chmod in the commands under Linux etc ...
This plug-out is automatically configured on the new project, to use it in your already existing project : the name of the executable is file_control, you must specify a first parameter being ci or co (so this plug-out is declared two times), and the target is the project or a package. Create a new project and look at the tool settings to have an example of configuration.

2.9.4

February, 27th 2006

Adds the management of the template operations in C++. A template operation has an empty declaration and the actuals are directly specified in the definition (of course between ${class} and ::).
C++ Reverse 2.0.8
Adds the management of the template operations in C++.
Adds a progress bar, the progress is based on the number of files, not on the time
C++ Generator 2.0.15
Adds the management of the template operations in C++.
Java Catalog 2.1.2
Java Reverse 2.1.1
Adds a progress bar, the progress is based on the number of files, not on the time
XMI Generator 1.1.1
Allows to choose how the tagged values are generated, because some tools don't accept some form. tagged values are used to produce description (may be on several lines), stereotypes, user properties and type definition.

2.9.3

February, 22th 2006

duplicate marked after could have dramatic effects, for instance crashing operation's definition, fixed.
It was not possible to edit the description or something else from the class dialog using the Editor button with BOUML_EDITOR unset : the internal editor didn't have the focus, fixed.
Plug-out empty
Add a missing 't' in the Java definition of UmlBaseClass::setAssociatedClasses()
C++ Generator 2.0.14
Adds the management of the 'external' classes (see here)
Java Generator 2.1.1
Adds the management of the 'external' classes (see here)
Java Catalog 2.1.1
When a JDK 5 enum is scanned this one is created in the modeler, fixed.
Sort
This is a new plug-out, allowing to re-order elements in packages, views and use cases. Its realization both in C++ and Java is detailled in the new tutorial about plug-out writting.

2.9.2

February, 13th 2006

Little improvements made in conjontion with the writing of the tutorial of BOUML.

2.9.1

February, 4th 2006

Previous releases crash when you confirm the edition of an enum_pattern's item, fixed.
Use case wizard 1.0
This is a new plug-out, allowing to set properties like pre-conditions etc ... on use case.
Must be applied on a use case. This plug-out is configured by default in the new projects. The name of the executable to add it to the plug-outs list in of the existing projects is usecasewizard.
This plug-out is defined in C++ and Java, like the Html Generator, allowing you to modify it in your prefered language. I give it as an example to show you how to simply extend the BOUML features.

2.9

January, 22th 2006

Previous releases crash on duplicate marked into when a marked item is a diagram, an artifact, a component, a deployment node, a view, a package or a use case, fixed. When you duplicate an artifact the new one doesn't have associated artifacts or classes. When you duplicate a component the new one doesn't have associated classes. When you duplicate a deployment node the new one doesn't have relation. When you duplicate a package, a use case or a view the new one doesn't have relation nor sub items.
When a browser item is duplicated its description is now also copied.
In all the pro files replace CONFIG = by CONFIG +=, to help to compile BOUML under MacOS X
In a class diagram, the visibility of the class's members was shown only when the drawing setting show classes member full definition was set to yes (directly or indirectly). The new drawing setting show visibility is introduced to show or not the members visibility independently of the writting of the full definitions. When you load an old project the value of show visibility is the value of the corresponding show classes member full definition.
C++ Reverse 2.0.7
Fixes on the management of the scope (namespace or upper class).
The Package unknown is not any more created in case of problems, it is replaced by the usage of explicit types (i.e. a string rather than a relation to a class defined under unknown), or typedefs (named typedef<n>, where n is a number), or extra class members.
C++ Generator 2.0.12
Fixe a bug on the management of the scope (namespace or upper class) of inherited classes
.pro Generator 2.1.1
Generate CONFIG += rather than CONFIG =
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.

2.8

January, 7th 2006

Management of the Java JDK 5 enums. Generics and annotations will be added later.
When you load a project made by a previous release :
- The may be existing class stereotype enum_pattern is renamed (the new name is context dependent and is given in a message box), and the classes having this stereotype are modified to have the new one
- Except for the class stereotype enum, the class stereotypes valuing enum in Java are modified to become enum_pattern in Java (one suposes this stereotype didn't exist because it has not special meaning for Java).
- The class stereotype enum_pattern is created from the class stereotype enum replacing the Java stereotype enum with enum_pattern.
- The classes having the stereotype enum and a non empty Java definition receive the stereotype enum_pattern
- In case at least one class is read-only BOUML ask you to save the upgraded project in a new one
The classes having the stereotype enum_pattern are managed like the old Java pseudo enum. The classes having the stereotype enum are managed like the Java enum introduced by the JDK 5.
Because a Java JDK 5 enum may have attributes, relations and operations, it is now possible to add these kinds of members to a class having the stereotype enum, but the their default definitions are empty in C++ and Idl.
The keyword ${items} is introduced in the Java definition of a JDK 5 enum, it has no meaning is the other cases, during the Java code generation it is replaced by the enum constants and the keyword ${members} is replaced by the other members.
To distinguish the attributes corresponding to the enums constants and the other attributes, the stereotype attribute is introduced, this one indicates a non enum constant. So, the attributes having the stereotype attribute are generated by ${members}, the others by ${items}
New generation settings are added to specify the code generated for the JDK 5 enums.
To be still compatible with the Java JDK 1.x the Java definition of the API of the plug-outs don't and will not use the Java JDK 5 enums.
Little changes to compile under Mac OS X.
Java Generator 2.1
Java Reverse 2.1
Java Catalog 2.1
Manage the Java JDK 5 enums.
XMI Generator 1.1
Allows to choose the encoding. Upgrade for the Java JDK 5 enums
Html Generator 2.3
Escape html special characters. Manage the new enum definition. Upgrade for the Java JDK 5 enums.
C++ utilities 1.1
.pro Generator 2.1 Rose project import 2.1 State machine generator 1.1
Upgrade for the Java JDK 5 enums.
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.

2.7.8

December, 22th 2005

Fixe a bug on the management of deleted items still referenced during the project reading. Previous releases may crash on this case of non consistency.
Now when you ask for referenced by on a class, the attributes, operations and classes referencing the target class at the UML level are also given. Note : the operations's bodies are not taken into acount.
Management of ${h_value} in the C++ declaration of attributes and relations, see below. Because only the C++ declaration is showed in the C++ tab of the attribute and relation dialogs, the initial value is only shown when the keyword ${h_value} is used.
C++ Generator 2.0.11
For a given artifact, when the header file definition contains ${all_includes} no declaration are produced in the header file and all the #includes are produced in the header file, except the #includes of the header file in the source file of course.
The already existing keyword ${value} is still replaced in the definition of a static attribute or relation by the initial value. The new keyword ${h_value} is replaced in the declaration of a static attribute or relation by the initial value.
C++ Reverse 2.0.6
Management of ${h_value} : when the initial value of a static attribute or relation is specified in the declaration, force the attribute or relation specification to contain ${h_value} else ${value}.
Html Generator 2.2.1
Management of ${h_value}
XMI Generator 1.0.6
Add generation of the C++ and Java definition. When you start the XMI generator, this one ask you to choose between the UML, C++ or Java exported definitions.

2.7.7

December, 4th 2005

In the class and operation dialog, when you edited something in a table (for instance the name of an operation's parameter) and you went directly in an other tab, the change in the table was not taken into account. It was necessary to click elsewhere in the table before went in another tab, fixed.
XMI Generator 1.0.5
The user properties are exported and produce tagged values.

2.7.6

December, 3th 2005

The Windows version didn't allow to use an editor (specified by BOUML_EDITOR) placed in a directory having a path containing spaces, fixed.
The extension of the auto generated file's name edited by the editor specified through BOUML_EDITOR is now the one specified through the generation settings. For the Windows version : set the filename to contains only valid characters.
In the Java and Idl tabs of the artifact dialog the '$' is just replaced by '@' and the user keywords are not replaced by their values (in fact BOUML tries to manage a user keywords when it finds a '$' rather than a '@' because of a typing error), fixed.
When a class or its members was changed, its self relations moved a little bit in the class diagrams without true reason, fixed.
The stereotype of a duplicated marked browser item may not be visible even this is asked, fixed.
In the previous releases an operation could not be virtual and inline at the same time, fixed.
In the sub-menu add inherited operations the abstract operations are now written in italic. In the associated dialog used when there are too many inherited operations, the abstract operations's profile has the header [a] (to use italic is not possible).
When an operation is duplicated (even through add inherited operations), its C++ and Java bodies are also copied.
In the previous releases a class could not be provided/realized by several components, remove this limitation. Change the browser class menu select associated component by the sub menu select associated components allowing to select a component provided or realizing the class when several components do that. The API with the Plug-outs is modified, the operation associatedComponent defined on UmlBaseClass is renamed associatedComponents and now returns a vector of components. Old Plug-outs may be used with this release, in this case only one component chosen randomly is returned by associatedComponent.
New C++ and Java default operation definition according to their body indent (2 spaces by default), see below
C++ Generator 2.0.10
Java Generator 2.0.4
New way to specify the indent of the operations body. In the previous releases it was necessary to indent all the lines. Now an indent added to each line may be specified, this indent is the spaces and tabs placed between ${body} and the first previous character not equal to a space and a tab.
In C++ : when the last characters of a line are '\' followed by an optional carriage return then a newline, the next line is not indented; When the first character of a line is '#' this line is not indented; These two rules are applied whatever the context, the code generator doesn't check if the characters are in a comment, a string or a literal character.
When the body is empty the spaces and tabs placed before ${body} are not output. The right way is just to add spaces or tabs before the keyword ${body}, itself followed by '}'. This is the new default definition of a C++ operation for new projects
Because the keyword ${body} was a priori not indented in the definition of the operations for the previous releases, this new feature doesn't have undesired effect on old operations.
C++ Reverse 2.0.5
Java Reverse 2.0.4
Because the bodies of the operation is already indented, remove the indent of the keyword ${body} in the reversed operations's definition
Idl Generator 2.0.4
Fixe a bug in the generation of the operations's exceptions
Add a missing ';' at the end of a module definition
Plug-out upgrade 1.0.3
Upgrade the operation associatedComponent defined on UmlBaseClass to return several components.
Html Generator 2.2
Plug-out empty
Upgraded to manage several components realizing/providing a class. They can't be used this previous releases of BOUML
XMI Generator 1.0.4
Manage characters " & < and > in strings

2.7.5

November, 16th 2005

All the generation settings was not read with release 2.7.4, fixed.
Under Linux with a QT release 3.x it was not possible to edit the user properties value. Partially fixed, currently return goes to another cell and doesn't insert a newline.
Set the size of the diagrams under Windows as it was already made under Linux when a session is restored.
Stop to save / restore the browser's scroolbars position, but force the selected browser item to be visible when a session is restored. However the session files created by the previous release of BOUML are managed by this release.

2.7.4

November, 13th 2005

When a project is closed the current session (opened diagrams list, browser view etc ...) is saved to be restored the next time the project will be load.
The file used to save the sessions is placed among the other files of the projects and is named <uid>.session, where <uid> is the value of BOUML_ID to allow each user to have his own session. This feature is not provided when BOUML_ID is not defined.
The size of the diagrams sub-windows is restored (except under Windows else the program goes in an infinite loop inside Qt), not their position because this information is not available (private in Qt classes).
The scroolbar position is not restored in the browser (even I ask for).
Improve the displacement of the objects in a diagram when the scale is changed, moving their center rather than their top-left corner (yes, at last !).
Hide the limits of the diagram canvas when you print it
When the drawing of a class is modified in a class diagram, its center is unchanged, and the line breaks of the class's self relations are moved if needed to not have them under the class picture. Before when a self relation was hidden because the class picture grew it was not easy to show it again manually.

2.7.3

November, 7th 2005

Add some checks concerning the state machine
Indicate why a relation can't be added
New dialog to help C++ programmers to manage the parameters of the operations, called through the new buttons placed in the tab C++ of the operation dialog

2.7.2

November, 3th 2005

Take immediatly into account the new value of the user keywords for the forms @{...} in the dialogs to show the result after substitution.
C++ Generator 2.0.9
A non defined user keyword associated to a form @{...} may produced an infinite loop, fixed.
State machine generator 1.0.1
Add completion transition management

2.7.1

November, 1th 2005

XMI generator 1.0.3
Fixe class's relations generation
C++ Generator 2.0.8
Fixe a bug associated to the nested classes
Html Generator 2.1.4
Write transition's name
State machine generator 1.0
This is a new plug-out, produce the classes implementing a state machine.
Must be applied on a state machine. This plug-out is configured by default in the new projects. The name of the executable to add it to the plug-outs list in of the existing projects is stmgen.
It is under development, the pseudo states fork, join, entry point, terminate, deep history, shallow history and the regions are not yet managed, nor the completion (you must specify triggers). Currently this Plug-out is implemented in C++ and produce C++ definition, it will be also implemented in Java to produce Java definition (why not !).
When you apply this plug-out on a state machine a class having the same name (removing non legal characters) is created in the same class view to implement it. This class doesn't contain static attributes and may have several instances. Each sub-state is managed through an own sub-class, the tree of the states and the associated classes is the same. For each trigger, whatever the state waiting for it, an operation having the same name (the C++ trigger must have a legal C++ name, the C++ guards must be legal C++ forms etc ...) is defined. Currently the triggers can't have parameters, and a transition can't have several triggers. You must apply these operations on the instance of the class implementing the state machine to simulate the event, the returned value is true until the final state is reached. The operation starting the execution is named create (the only legal trigger for a transition from an initial pseudo state). A trigger's name can't start by the character '_', allowing me to produce operations and attributes starting by '_' without collision.

2.7

October, 27th 2005

BOUML wasn't compilable with GCC 4.0.x, fixe this problem even I don't really trust on these GCC releases (see message).
The files generation_settings, tools, stereotypes, cpp_includes, java_imports and idl_includes are now re-written only when they are really modified. Note that for performance purpose this check is not done for all the other files, for instance when you do a change, thus undo it, the corresponding files will be re-written.
Nested class visibility is editable
When a form @{xyz} is found by the code generators and the associated dialogs, and xyz is a key of a user property, this one is replaced by the corresponding value. The user property is seached first in the item for which the code is generated, if not found in its parent, if not found in its grand-parent etc ...
Java Generator 2.0.3
Idl Generator 2.0.3
Add management of @{xyz} forms.
Html Generator 2.1.3
Add management of @{xyz} forms.
Does substitutions of the ${abx} forms in the comments introduced in BOUML 2.6
C++ Generator 2.0.7
Add management of @{xyz} forms.
Doesn't generate the full definition of an initialized static const attribute only in the header file, the attribute is defined and initialized in the source file.
XMI generator 1.0.2
The generation of a package for the views is optional. Memorize the filename used for the previous XMI generation to propose it by default.
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.

2.6.4

October, 21th 2005

When you quit BOUML closing its window through your window manager capabilities rather than using project > quit and the project is modified, BOUML will ask you to confirm.
When a class, use case, use case view or a package is moved by drap-and-drop in the browser and may be placed in or after the destination, BOUML ask for you to choose. The class menu entries set it nested in and extract from becoming useless are removed.
Add management of the keyword ${inline} in the declaration of the operations in C++.
C++ Generator 2.0.6
C++ Reverse 2.0.4
Html Generator 2.1.2
Add management of the keyword ${inline} in the declaration of the operations in C++.
Plug-out upgrade 1.0.2
To add the operation UmlBaseItem::moveAfter allowing to change the order of the items in the browser (staying under the same parent), and to access / modify the new generation settings managing the default description and the default return type forms introduced in the 2.6

2.6.3

October, 16th 2005

Phantoms non class relations could remained after destruction of item target, may crash BOUML, fixed
XMI generator 1.0.1
Fixe indentation of </Generalization>.
In an operation's parameter whose type is a class, replace UML:DataType by UML:Classifier.
The dependency's client and supplier was reversed, fixed.
Some tools doesn't accept "*" in a mulplicity specification, replace "*" by "0..-1", "2..*" by "2..-1" etc ...
Classes defined under a use case or a use case view are generated as actor, their operations, attributes and relations are not generated except dependencies and generalizations.
Use case / class / component / deployment view are generated as a package adding the view king in the name.
Adds use cases generation.
Adds component generation (without UML2.0 features).
Adds node generation.

2.6.2

October, 13th 2005

It was not possible to read a project containing an extra member having a stereotype (produced the error message 'end' expected rather than 'stereotype'), fixed.
The extra member dialog forgot to set the stereotype, fixed.
XMI generator 1.0
New plug-out, must be applied at the project level.
Actually only the UML definition of the packages, classes, attributes, relations and operations are saved in the produced file.
To be compatible with existing tools, the format is xml 1.0, xmi 1.2 for UML 1.4.
This plug-out is configured by default in the new projects. The name of the executable to add it to the plug-outs list in of the existing projects is gxmi.

2.6.1

October, 2th 2005

After changing the rank of messages in a collaboration diagram, some of them are not shown sorted, fixed.
In a collaboration diagram, when you edit a message which doesn't correspond to an operation, this message was not included in the message list, fixed.
Changing the format of a diagram didn't have the expected behavior when the zoom was not 100%, fixed
Change the default Z position of the relations and other lines in the diagrams to be dependent on the Z position of the extremities
Show the limits of the diagram canvas

2.6

September, 26th 2005

Unfortunately it was possible to draw an anchor from a class to a line break point in a class diagram, with dramatic consequences, fixed.
Since the release 2.5.4, in the sequence and class diagrams the full operations displaying was wrong in C++ mode, fixed.
When a plug-out can't be lauch under Windows because the executable can't be found (PATH problem etc ...) a message box is displayed from now on.
The definition of a set_ operation was wrong in C++ and Java when the attribute / relation name is not the UML name (definition of the get_ operation was right), fixed.
In the operation dialog, add buttons default definition and default declaration for the get_ and set_ operations.
New generation settings to specify default description for artifacts, classes, operations, attributes and relations. A new tab is added in the generation settings dialog to set them, by default they are empty. Add the button default to fill the description with the default value in the corresponding dialogs. From now on, keyword substitutions are made in the description of the corresponding objects as for their declarations / definitions. This feature is under construction.
New generation settings for C++ allowing to set the default form specifying the operation return type form. The affected tabs of the generation settings dialog are the first one and the fourth C++ tab.
Change a little the UML tab of the relation dialog to save height, and a splitter is placed between the two roles to choose their respective height.
C++ Generator 2.0.5
The path generated for an #include was wrong when #include with pathname is set in the generation settings and the header files are generated in different directories, fixed.
Fixe carriage return / line feed problem in code generation under Windows.
When the name of a static attribute or relation is not the same in UML and C++ the definition of the C++ variable was wrong (the declaration was correct), fixed.
Do keywords substitution in the comments (to be completed).
Java Generator 2.0.2
Idl Generator 2.0.2
Fixe carriage return / line feed problem in code generation under Windows
Do keywords substitution in the comments (to be completed).
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.

2.5.5

September, 18th 2005

When the browser sub-window is scrolled horizontally the drag & drop of a browser's item was not always possible, fixed
With BOUML compiled with Qt3, resizing a graphic item using the mouse had a strange behavior except for the bottom right corner, fixed. Note : the delivered version of BOUML for Windows use QT2 and didn't have this bug.
When you rename a class, the contructors and destructor are now automatically renamed
Add UML 2 standard stereotypes
C++ Generator 2.0.4
When an artifact is associated to several classes some of them could miss in the declaration list produced for ${declarations}, fixed
Plug-out empty
Updated to rename the contructors and destructor when their class is renamed
Plug-out upgrade 1.0.1
Add the renaming of the contructors and destructor when their class is renamed
C++ utilities 1.0
New plug-out for C++ modeling. Actually this one works on class to help to add contructor (without parameter), destructor (virtual or not), copy constructor (with parameter const or not) and assignment operator (with parameter const or not), of course all these operations have an empty body. This plug-out is defined in C++ and will be extended depending on your requests. The name of the executable is cpp_util

Because I am not a Java developer, I don't know what may be usefull for Java, don't hesitate to ask for a Java utilities plug-out

2.5.4

September, 11th 2005

Previous releases may crash when you close a dialog without closing the sub editions lauched through the button editor with BOUML_EDITOR not defined, fixed. Furthemore now when you do it, BOUML ask you to confirm the loss of the modifications made through the sub editions not yet closed.
When you created a dependency between two components the result was a generalization, fixed.
The size of a closed dialog is saved to be re-used the next time a dialog of the same type will be opened.
Force the drawing name of a use case to be on the top of the use case picture
The keyword ${description} is added for the code generation. This one similar to ${comment} except that the code generators produce the description part without adding "//" or /* .. */. This allows you to choose between the two ways to produce the comments. This new keyword is of course managed by the reverse in case it is used in the defaults set through the generation settings. When this new keyword is used, the reverse doesn't remove the "//" or "/*...*/" from the reverse form to set the description in the model.
C++ Reverse 2.0.3
Previous releases produced a syntax error when the visibility is not specified in an inheritance, fixed (default visibility is private). Add management of ${description}

August, 24th 2005

C++ Reverse 2.0.2
Fixe bugs.

2.5.1

August, 21th 2005

The API with the Plug-outs is extended to manage the states.
Html documentation Generator 2.1
Updated to manage the states, must not be used with the previous releases of BOUML.
Plug-out empty
Updated to manage the states, must not be used with the previous releases of BOUML.
Plug-out upgrade 1.0
This is a new plug-out, its goal is to upgrade the (old) plug-outs not made from the last up to date version of the plug-out empty, adding the missing features.
It is applied through the entry plug-out upgrade of the menu Tools (this entry doesn't appears while a dialog is opened or when the project is not a plug-out).
This first release add the management of the states and associated features.
C++ Generator 2.0.2
Remove a wrong check concerning inheritance.

2.5

August, 9th 2005

Add state actions (, and ).
It was not possible to drag nested classes from the browser into a sequence or collaboration or use case diagram. Fixed
This the previous releases, when you try to open a sequence diagram you may have the error message 'end' expected rather than 'show_full_operations_definition' and a part of the diagram is not load. Fixed
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.

2.4.1

August, 5th 2005

Old releases of BOUML crash when you add a message in a sequence diagram from a life line to a class instance (this is forbidden : the target must be a life line or a duration bar) because the check was incomplete, fixed.
C++ Reverse 2.0.1
Java Reverse 2.0.2
Java Catalog 2.0.2
Fixe a bug on the concatenation of the comments during the reverses

2.4

July, 31th 2005

Add state regions. Note : the regions are not visible as long as the drawing of the state is not enough increased
Now, when you move or resize a state in a state diagram, the position of its sub states is updated
The new sub-menu Diagram default format of the Miscellaneous menu allows to set the default format of the diagrams (Iso A2/A3/A4/A5, or US A/B/C)
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.

2.3.2

July, 24th 2005

To save the project is not allowed when a least a dialog is opened. Now a message box is shown when the shortcut Control-s is hit or the project's menu is asked but a dialog is opened.
Add the entry save visible picture part near copy visible picture part in the diagram's menu. This one allows to chooze a file to save the visible part of the diagram using the PNG format.
Rename column from "*" to "do" in some dialogs hopping this is more visible, because some people ask me to know how to remove operation's parameter etc...
The optional environment variable BOUML_LIMIT_DESKTOP allows to specify a sub-part of all the desktop, its value must be x0,y0,x1,y1 without any spaces, where x0,y0 specify the top-left corner and x1,y1 the bottom-right corner. These limits are taken into account only for the initial size and position of the BOUML's windows and when a dialog is opened, after that you are able to go out of these limits up to the true desktop limits. Usefull mainly for the users having a multiple monitors (side by side) configuration, see the the post Bugs > Window placement and sizing (multiple monitors) on the forum

2.3.1

July, 18th 2005

minor change on the way to set a diagram's item upper/lower (see my respons for the post Bugs > state diagrams on the forum)

2.3

July, 17th 2005

Fixes concerning the colors in the sequences diagrams. For the old release since the 2.2, editing the drawing settings of a sequence diagram under Linux may crash BOUML !
Fixes in the Java definition of the empty plug-out
After a cut here made on a duration bar in a sequence diagram, the color of the new duration bar was not set, fixed
Add behavioral state machine. Still on going, must be done : to add region, to update empty plug-out to access to the states. Activity diagrams will be added too.
- A state machine is a state defined under a class view, by default it has the stereotype machine, these are only differences with the other states.
- A sub machine is a state having the stereotype submachine, this is only difference with the other states. Theorycally a sub machine is defined under a machine, but BOUML doesn't check the usage of the stereotypes.
- Any state may contain sub states, pseudo states, transitions and state diagram.
- When you add a state or a pseudo state in a diagram out of any drawing state, the new one is added to the state containing the diagram. So in the example it is useless to draw the state machine ReadAmount to add sub states and pseudo states.
- An example of a state machine and a state diagram is given in the screenshots.
In the dialog's User tab the value is now edited through a multiline editor
On the diagrams the keyboard's arrows Up, Down, Left and right move the selected items.
Html documentation Generator 2.0.1
ask for to remove or not all the already existing HTML files in the target directory prior to generate the new ones
C++ Generator 2.0.1
old releases crash on an empty enum, fixed
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.

2.2.2

June, 15th 2005

This release only exist for the Linux distribution, some users have compilation problem associated with the files Labeled.h, JavaCatWindow.cpp and UmlWindow.cpp, fixed

2.2.1

June, 8th 2005

Depending on your configuration the encoding of the accentued characters in the BOUML files could be wrong. Fixed
Documentation still referred components rather than artifacts, fixed

2.2

June, 5th 2005

Add fragments (), available in all the diagrams.
Add continuations (), available in the sequence diagrams.
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.
Java Reverse 2.0.1
Java Catalog 2.0.1
Fixe the same bug in these two plug-outs

2.1

June, 2th 2005

It is not still possible to draw association between components, the already defined ones are removed, the right way is to use dependency.
Improve the component's drawing settings to allows to write the component's compartments (required and provided interfaces and the realizations), for the components not drawn as an icon.
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.

2.0

May, 23th 2005

First version associated to UML 2.0.
The sources, libraries and executables, are now supported by artifacts rather than Components. The behavior of an artifact is exactly the behavior which a component had.
I suppose that all the components previously defined are used to produce sources, libraries or executables, so :
- When you load a project saved with a release less or equal to 1.5.1, all the components become artifacts, all the component views become deployment views and all the component diagrams become deployment diagrams.
- Furthermore, in case this project is a plug out, the UmlBaseComponent class is modified with its members to become the UmlBaseArtifact class, and the UmlComponent class is modified to become the UmlArtifact class updating only its default members. New UmlBaseComponent and UmlComponent classes are created. Obviously this may be not enough and you should have to do manually some additional changes. The modified plug out doesn't allow to fully manage components, for that you have to create a new plug out from the new definition of the plug out named empty.
- BOUML force a save as, then the project is closed.
The only way to have components, component views and component diagrams is to create new ones.
A new drawing setting is added allowing to drawn the components as an icon (old drawing) or following the UML 2.0 specifications. Nethertheless when a component not drawn as an icon has a stereotype, this least is written rather than <<component>> the same rule is followed for the artifacts. The non icon drawing is resizeable.
The drawing of the required and provided interfaces doesn't follow exactly the UML 2.0 specifications : to minimize the number of labels, the interface's name is attached to the line termination rather than to the line(s).

1.5.1

May, 11th 2005

Fixe a bug on the duration color saving.
In case you can't reload a project because you have the error ...expected rather than 'duration' , acknowledge the message and exit from BOUML, edit the specified file at the given line with any text editor and replace duration by duration_color. Retry : the same error may exist several times.

1.5

May, 5th 2005

The deletion of the labels in the diagrams is not possible any more.
Update the window title when the corresponding diagram is renamed.

1.4.10

April, 24th 2005

Do not re-open diagrams modified then closed to save them, to decrease saving time.

1.4.9

April, 23th 2005

Release 1.4.5 up to 1.4.7 may crash under Windows due to a C++ compiler bug in optimize speed mode. Bypassed by having one operation compiled with optimize speed off.
Release 1.4.5 up to 1.4.8 doesn't save link and self link of the collaboration diagram. Fixed

1.4.8

April, 17th 2005

Release 1.4.5 up to 1.4.7 may crash under Windows due to a C++ compiler bug. This delivery contains the debug version of BOUML to mask the bug, because I do not have time to understand what is append until the next week end, for professional reasons.
C++ Reverse 1.0.3
Adds management of Q_EXPORT, QM_EXPORT, etc... present into Qt definition. Little fixings.

1.4.7

April, 10th 2005

Remove the management of the font associated to the screen size introduced in the 1.4.5, because this is required by a user.
Add a progress bar appearing when a saving need time

1.4.6

April, 7th 2005

New drawing settings dialog, using tabs to reduce its size.

1.4.5

April, 6th 2005

Add copy/cut/paste commands for the diagrams. A paste is only possible in a diagram whose type is the one of the diagram where the copy/cut was made. The shortcuts are Control c for copy, Control x for cut and Control v for paste. The cut is equivalent to a copy followed by a remove from view, this means that the corresponding browser items are not deleted.
Little modification to compute the default size of the generation settings dialog.
In case the default font point size is greater than 10 and the screen width is lower or equal to 1024 or its height is lower or equal to 768, the default font point size is set to 10.

1.4.4

April, 3th 2005

Decrease the size of the drawing settings dialogs.
The API base packages was read only. Now when the associated file is writable, all may be changed except the name. This allows to change the namespace/package/module or the directories where the code generation are made.
Add diagram's element alignement, the reference is the first selected element.
Fixe a bug concerning the undo changes in a diagram and on the a bi-directional relation's role b drawing in a diagram.

1.4.3

March, 31th 2005

import Rose 1.1.2
Manage the components, note that the Rose tree of components is not reproduced because the components are too differents under Rose and BOUML, and because BOUML recommends to place each component view near the corresponding class view
Html generator 1.1
Ask for the directory where the html and pgn files will be produced rather than use a directory under /tmp

1.4.2

March, 28th 2005

Drag and Drop from the browser to a diagram forgot to map viewport position to content position due to scrollbars position, fixed.
Change positionning of the relation's role name and multiplicity (correct it for a quarter of turn) in the diagrams.

1.4.1

March, 23th 2005

C++ Reverse 1.0.2
oupsss, C++ reverse loops on the first reversed file, fixed.

1.4

March, 22th 2005

Through the miscellaneous menu the size of the base font used for the browser and the diagrams may be specified. Note that sometimes changing the size does nothing because the desired font is not available. A had introduced this feature mainly because the default size under Linux and Windows is not the same, this may change the relative position of the objects and a relation drawn vertically with one font will be inclined with an other. This size is memorized in the file memorizing the project, but I allow to change the font size even when the file is read only (the new font size can't be saved).
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.

1.3.2

March, 20th 2005

Now all the sequence diagram items may be placed upper/lower.

1.3.1

March, 16th 2005

import Rose 1.1.1
little change

1.3

March, 13th 2005

Release 1.1 & 1.2 contains a major bug linked to the diagrams saving, fixed.
Add import of a bouml project into a package.
Under Windows the optimal window size command may produce an infinite resizing loop, fixed.
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.

1.2

March, 8th 2005

import Rose 1.1
correction when a file path is specified through a variable ($var form into the rose model files)

1.1

March, 6th 2005

Now the identifier of an item in a diagram is fixed and the order of the item definitions is also fixed in the *.diagram generated files. This may help to merge diagram files !
C++ Generator 1.1
C++ Generated code was wrong in case a referenced class is nested in an other one or sometimes when it is defined in an other namespace, fixed.
C++ Generated code for a friend to a template class was wrong, fixed.
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 release of BOUML.
