Export commit history actions have been modified to propose to squash consecutive commits done by the same user with the same description (same mode available in the Commit History view and the Importer CLI)

The targeted Jenkins version has been updated from LTS 2.375.3 to LTS version 2.440.3.

Jenkins/Scheduler installation scripts have been improved: parameters/variables have been extracted to a sibling .properties file.

Modification of some default jobs to extract the repository name to a combo choice.

Files are no more flattens in projects imported by the CLI importer application

Diagnostic job can now target dynamic repositories and/or server with WS/WSS connection types.

Asynchronous behavior of some GMF actions in diagram toolbars is now better handled in order to avoid potential deadlock on remote changes receptions.

Behavior of server shutdown and repository stop detection have been improved to avoid potential deadlocks. The effective close behavior has not changed: project sessions and opened editors are closed, unsaved data is lost.

A few other minor fixes around collaborative features or the compatibility between Capella features and the collaborative add-on.

Libraries can now be managed on a connected project : references to shared libraries can now be added or removed.

The Merge strategy of the export wizard has been improved to handle the representations (diagram and tables) and their content. The identity and commit history is now also kept for those elements. Additional fixes have been done to minimize differences and avoid to do an export commit when there is no change to send to the server.

The Commit History view no more displays the changes of wizards and technical commits. The number of new/modified/deleted objects is displays instead. Contrary to commits done by the save actions, those commits have a description which is automatically filled by the client and which contains the impacted project or resource name and begins with one of the following tags: [Export], [Delete], [Maintenance], [User Profile], [Import], [Dump].

Remote images used in diagrams and Rich Text descriptions can now be displayed by other users.

After the use of the Dump wizard, a manual refresh of the project in the Project Explorer is no more required to see the all the result files.

Frozen diagrams no more react to reception of remote connection bendpoints changes.

The targeted Jenkins version has been updated from LTS version 2.332.3 to LTS version 2.375.3. This brings several important security fixes and also notable changes as documented in the LTS release notes.

The Linux bundle Scheduler jobs have been improved to avoid permissions issues.

The Project - Automatic Import and push to Git - Template Windows and Linux job templates have been improved to work on a branch with no CommitHistory.txt file.

The Server packaging has been reworked to keep only necessary and non-ui plugins.

In order to improve performances and reduce noise, the commit history changes are no more extracted for commits which corresponds wizards and technical commits.

The Export application Merge strategy has been improved to better configure Diff/Merge and have a consistent behavior compared to the Export model to remote repository wizard.

Team for Capella wizards projects creation/import/export have been renamed:

WS and WSS connection types are now available alongside TCP and SSL in Repository configuration page and wizard pages.

The targeted Jenkins version has been updated from LTS version 2.303.3 to LTS version 2.332.3. This brings several important security fixes and also notable changes as documented in the LTS release notes.

Until 6.0, Telnet was used so that send OSGI commands from tools applications (importer, maintenance, console) to the server application. In 6.0, Telnet commands are now deprecated and have been replaced by calls to the REST Admin API.

The web socket and web socket secured protocols (ws:// and wss://) are no longer flagged as experimental.

Jenkins jobs have been updated to use applications with the admin server configuration.

The linux bundle is no longer flagged as experimental for both Team For Capella client features and server.

Some parameters of importer, exporter, maintenance applications have been updated. Some have been renamed and some added such as httpXXX parameters used to request the jetty admin server.

The Team for Capella server product does not contain UI plugins from Sirius, Capella, CDO nor Eclipse platform anymore. When launched without the server-side client tools (Importer, Exporter, Maintenance), it can now be launched without a X Server.

The Importer constant com.thalesgroup.mde.melody.collab.importer.api.TeamImporterConstants used especially for telnet command have been reported in a new class com.thalesgroup.mde.melody.collab.importer.api.TeamServerConnectionsConstants in order to share arguments between importer and Exporter application.

In order to share arguments between importer and Exporter application, following arguments -importerLogin, -importerPassword and -importerCredentials have been renamed into -repositoryLogin, -repositoryPassword and -repositoryCredentials.

In the Export project wizard, the behavior of the Override existing resources has been improved: whereas on previous versions the override was simply forbidden as soon as a Library project was detected on the server, now the export is forbidden if one of the resources to override is a Library resource and at least one of the remote projects is not overriden.

Location selection page displayed at representation creation (and move) has been improved to use less ambiguous labels and terms for end-users.

The save action now sends the commit data and the unlock messages in the same network request. This allows to optimize the network usage and also to minimize the number of notifications to sent to all connected users and the implied distribution potential issues.

All impacted elements by a deletion are now locked as soon as possible before executing the delete command. After a deletion (ie after having validate the impact analysis dialog), some impacted semantic elements by the deletion (such as the container of a deleted element) were locked only in a second time. Most of the time, that was not visible by the end user but a second lock message was later sent to the server. That might lead to interrupt the delete during its execution if a lock instance exception was received.

The targeted Jenkins version has been updated from LTS version 2.277.3 to LTS version 2.303.3. This brings several important security fixes and also notable changes as documented in the LTS release notes.

The importer application has received several improvements

A diagram is now locked when changing its contextual elements

Team for Capella wizard now follow the same rules than Capella and forbids project creation with names containing special characters.

The Jenkins version has been updated to from LTS version 2.204.6 (LTS) to version 2.277.3 (LTS). This brings several important security fixes and also notable changes as documented in the LTS release notes.

On each tab (except all because it’s a derived tab), the column with the build button has been moved between the weather column and the project name column. It is more user friendly this way.

Windows Service installation is now possible when Team for Capella installation path contains whitespaces.

The default configuration of the CDO repository has been changed from Auditing with Ranges to Auditing.

The wizard pages which allows to choose the location of created/moved representations have been improved for a better management and understanding.

installation scripts and tools have been moved to a tools folder,

The logs of the server, license server and tools used from the Scheduler jobs are now directly visible in the Scheduler console view.

The Jenkins version has been updated to from LTS version 2.150.2 (LTS) to version 2.204.6 (LTS).

The scheduler jobs are organized in categories that are called views in Jenkins: Server Management, Backup and restore and Diagnostic and repair. Refer to Jenkins configuration for more details.

In addition of the categories reorganization, the jobs have been renamed to make it easier to sort them: Stop server and Start server have been renamed into Server - Start and Server - Stop for instance. Refer to Jenkins configuration for more details.

The export of data to the server now tries to dispatch the feature extensions referencing a representation to the corresponding .srm resource. This behavior can be disabled with the system property fr.obeo.dsl.viewpoint.collab.internal.export.move.feature.extension.srm=false. Feature Extensions are M2 concepts from Eclipse Sirius which might be used by third parties add-ons to add model information to the .aird ressources.

Existing Messages classes have been completed with additional translation keys (and default values). Mutliple Messages from the same plugins have been merged into a single class per plugin. The concerned bundles are:

The translatable attributes from every plugin.xml have been have been extracted with default values in the corresponding plugin.properties files.

The com.thalesgroup.mde.melody.collab.importer.ImporterApplication application has been reorganized into a generic part which has been moved into the fr.obeo.dsl.viewpoint.collab.importer plugin and a Team for Capella specific part. The code has been refactored and dispatched in the proper plugins. The previous version of the com.thalesgroup.mde.melody.collab.importer plugin did not declare any classes as explicit API, com.thalesgroup.mde.melody.collab.importer.api.TeamImporterConstants and com.thalesgroup.mde.melody.collab.importer.api.TeamImporterCDOExporter have been promoted to API classes.
