RSARTE 10.1 2017.07

Today we deliver an update of RSARTE 10.1 following the completion of sprint 2017.07. In addition to bug fixes and general improvements, the following new features are worth highlighting (references to the updated What's New presentation in brackets):

• Merging text is now easier thanks to a new single-view text merge editor which can be used instead of the old "sub merge" feature. This is currently an experimental feature. [11]
• The support for external projects was made more flexible thanks to support for environment variables in the map file. There is also a new search scope "Workspace and External Projects" which can be used for searching both in the workspace and in all external projects. [22]
• A new preference was introduced for automatically loading models of imported external projects. It is recommended to have it enabled so that navigation from search result items will be quick. [21]
• We continued to improve the model compiler, both the user interface and the tool itself. Now we support the "save before build" preference, and we also made an effort to unify preferences for the old and new C++ code generator. [23, 24]
• Readability of generated C++ code was improved by including a comment with the qualified name of states. This works for both capsules and passive class state machines. [25]
