RSARTE 10.x 2016.47

Today we release two new versions of RSARTE:

• 10.0 2016.47 for Eclipse Mars
• 10.1 2016.47 for Eclipse Neon

This is the first release of 10.1 that is not experimental, and we therefore recommend it as the latest and greatest RSARTE release. However, except for the Eclipse version there are no other differences between these releases.

The new search feature is now also for the first time available as a non-experimental feature, and the old search implementation has been removed. However, all old search commands, like Find/Replace, Model Search, Find NamedElement etc, are still available but have been updated to use the new search implementation. As part of this work, the new search implementation now also supports searching in working sets. Another improvement is increased flexibility about where to store the search index. It is now by default stored in the workspace metadata, but can if wanted be stored next to the projects, or in a custom location. [page 59-60]

We also did some usability improvements in this release:

• The header text for the Properties view is now more compact by not showing the full qualifier for the name. Also, RT specific stereotypes are hidden and shown as proper element types instead. [page 34]
• The "Add UML" context menu has been cleaned up, and many items were removed for creating elements that are not of interest when designing RT models. [page 30]

We also continued to make progress in the new model compiler, for example by improving the performance of its UI integration.
