RSARTE 10 2016.44

Another sprint has passed and it's time to summarize the improvements that we deliver today in the new version RSARTE 10 2016.44. References to pages in the updated What's New presentation are included in brackets below:

• The default value of attributes and parameters, and the value of enumeration literals, is no longer shown in the Project Explorer using a separate node. Instead the value appears after an equal sign in the same node that shows the name of the element. [page 26 and 27]
• The Project Explorer representation of a passive class with a statemachine has become more compact by no longer showing the EventContainer node. [page 28]
• RT specific stereotypes, such as «capsule» and «protocol», are no longer shown in the Project Explorer. This makes node labels shorter which means less horizontal scrolling. It also means that you now can navigate to such elements by typing the first character of their names (just like navigation to other model elements work in the Project Explorer). [page 29]
• The names of many editing commands have been improved so that the label of the Undo/Redo command in the Edit menu now more accurately describes what will happen when a change is undone or redone. [page 35]
• Our new search implementation now supports searching inside a selected element only. We also did many other usability, quality and performance improvements in this new feature (which in this release still is experimental). [page 57 and 58]
• We continued to improve the Model Compiler, our new tool for building models from the command-line. The integration with the RSARTE user interface was improved. For example, navigation into generated code now works, and markers in the Problems view appears for compilation problems. Note that the Model Compiler is still an experimental feature.

We also took our next version, RSARTE 10.1, one step closer to production quality by performing extensive testing of it. No new problems were discovered and our goal is to make this release non-experimental after the next sprint (end of November).
