RSARTE 10.x 2018.03

One day earlier than planned we today deliver two new releases of RSARTE:

• RSARTE 10.1 2018.03 for Eclipse Neon 3
• RSARTE 10.2 2018.03 for Eclipse Oxygen 2

We plan this to be the last regular release of 10.1, and now only do fixes specifically requested on demand. Feature development will continue on the 10.2 release stream. Already in this release, most new features were only delivered to the 10.2 release stream, so if you didn't already upgrade it's a good time to do it now.

The What's New presentation for RSARTE 10.2 has been updated to mention the following new features (references to updated pages within brackets):

• Search and Replace now supports the new file format for transformation configurations (which, by the way, now is called *.tcjs) [page 17]
• The interpretation of a backslash as an escape character in the Search field is now relaxed so that you only need to escape a backslash if it is followed by a *, ? or . For example, this makes it more practical to search for Window-style paths that contain backslashes. [page 17]
• It's now possible to automate code-to-model synchronization by means of a new Ant task. [page 18]
• A new preference allows you to set Java VM arguments for the model compiler. [page 19]
• Two new Ant tasks make it easy to generate the map and environment files for the model compiler from an existing RSARTE workspace. [page 20]
• We continued to make progress in the area of build variant support. In this release there is now a first version of the API documentation included. [page 22]

In addition it's also worth mentioning that we have started the work on a new Transformation Configuration editor for the new JavaScript based file format. It's not yet included in the release, but in the next release we hope to include it as an experimental feature.
