RSARTE release 2016.17

Today we deliver the result of our work in the past sprint 2016.17. As usual we deliver both updated 9.1.2 CP1 and 10.0 versions. Both these RSARTE versions are recommended for production use.

RSARTE 9.1.2 CP1 2016.17

• The preference UML Development - Real Time C++ Transformations - Preserve new line characters for code snippets has been removed. Instead, the C++ code generator now respects the preference General - Workspace - New text file line delimiter to decide what line delimiter to use in generated code. The preference is only respected by the multi-threaded source file generator.

Except for this, 9.1.2 CP1 only saw a few bug fixes in this release. Our goal is to keep 9.1.2 CP1 as stable as possible and most of our efforts will instead be spent on version 10.

RSARTE 10.0 2016.17

Our theme for this release of RSARTE 10 has been to improve "Compare/Merge". In particular we have worked on the usability of the Compare/Merge. Many model changes are now easier to understand due to improved grouping of changes and better change descriptions.  Also, there are two new preferences (in General - Compare/Patch - Modeling Compare/Merge - UML Compare/Merge):

Conflict suppression strategy: Defines which version of a change to select for conflicts that can be suppressed.  By default the local version from your workspace (left contributor) will be selected. The corresponding command-line option is 
-CPconflictSuppressionStrategy=left|right

Pure presentation conflicts: Set this preference to "Ignore" if you don't care about conflicts in the presentation, for example position of symbols or routing of lines. Such pure presentation conflicts will then be suppressed. The corresponding command-line option is 
-CPconflictSuppression=notation=on|off
