PERS-511 - It is now possible to log in using OpenID Connect, in addition to the legacy authentication system based on user/password credentials.

PERS-546 - A validation of the publication data is now made by the server before triggering a job. This validation can reject the publication if some link types have been defined in the contributor Client but not in the server. In such a case, the server’s configuration needs to be aligned with the contributor client configuration by creating the missing link types in the OSLC linking configuration.

PERS-412 - Links that point to a delete artifact can now be detected and dealt with.

PERS-577 - Publication For Capella is now compatible with CodeBeamer. The integration with CodeBeamer is achieved based on OSLC and is considered as experimental in this release.

PERS-564 An option to refresh diagrams before publishing has been added.

PERS-565 A new way to create traceability links has been added, using copy/paste. First, copy the URL of the third-party artifact in a web browser, then select one model element in a diagram and use Crtl+V to paste it. This will create a traceability link.

PERS-575 The outcome of a Publication is now displayed in Capella to the Capella user when the publication job is over. The user is thus notified if there is a problem or if the publication was OK.

PERS-514 A category has been added in the semantic browser to display all the applied property values of an element in a way that is compliant with the PVMT Capella Add-on. When a model is published, this category is also displayed online so that users can easily see which property values are applied to an element.

PERS-445 A new component that supports storage of model and model objects versions has been introduced.

PERS-473 The default labels for the four IBM DOORS Next link types (trace, satisfy, specify, derives) have been fixed. It is recommended to reflect these changes in server environments in the oslc-linking.json file.

PERS-476 A dependency to Spring’s UriComponentsBuilder has been removed to fix two recent CVE:

PERS-445 The publication wizard now requires the user to enter a mandatory message explaining the reason of the publication.
