2026.7.0

1. Key highlights

  • The palette experience has been improved and made more consistent. The Explorer view can use the same palette-based interaction model as diagrams.

  • The Workbench received several usability improvements. Browser history is now handled more reliably, side views keep their expected order, and the project title area is more compact.

  • Diagrams are more stable in day-to-day editing. Several fixes improve palette search, repeated tool invocation, arrange all, label editing, pinned nodes, edge labels, unavailable tools, and exported image filenames.

  • Dependency links in Gantt representations have been extended.

  • This release introduces the first version of the Sirius Web documentation.

2. Breaking changes

  • Sirius Web servers now require Java 21 or later. Administrators should update their runtime environment before upgrading.

3. Bug fixes

  • In the Workbench, the browser back and forward buttons now behave more reliably.

  • The order of the left and right views is now preserved.

  • In diagrams:

    • Edge-on-edge labels can once again have their position and size reset with the dedicated tool.

    • The arrange-all action no longer fails when an edge connects a parent node to one of its children.

    • Pinned nodes are no longer moved by the arrange-all action.

    • Edges are no longer reset when their source and target nodes are vertically or horizontally aligned.

    • Direct edit text field on list items now uses a white background, making text easier to read when the text field overlaps another diagram element.

    • Palette search now correctly highlights matching tool labels.

    • Reusing the last invoked palette tool is more reliable.

  • Text fonts are now displayed correctly in deployed installations.

4. New features

  • The Explorer view can now use the same palette as diagrams. This gives users a more consistent way to find and run actions from both the Explorer view and diagrams. If the new palette does not match expectations, it is still possible to use the old one by setting the property sirius.web.tree.new-palette.enabled to false.

Explorer palette
  • The palette width has been increased from 200px to 250px to make tool labels easier to read.

  • This release adds the first version of the Sirius Web documentation.

  • The Sirius Web build now generates and publishes SBOMs on the Eclipse Foundation’s DependencyTrack instance.

5. Improvements

  • When a diagram tool opens a selection dialog, the tree now expands to reveal the element on which the tool was invoked. This gives users more context before confirming their selection.

  • In Gantt representations, new task dependency links have been added in addition to the existing End-to-Start: End-to-End, Start-to-End, Start-to-Start.

Gantt Dependency Links
  • Exported diagram images now use the diagram representation name as the generated filename.

  • The project title in the navigation bar is more compact.
