ArgoUML / News: Recent posts

Hello all!

The ArgoUML team is pleased to announce a public release of ArgoUML featuring support for UML 1.4, Sequence Diagrams, and JMI (JSR-40) -- specifically targeting users of the open source MDA tool AndroMDA.

Launch with a single click using Java Web Start or download for local installation from our download page at http://argouml.tigris.org/download/release020.html.

Significant progress has been made since our last stable release (0.18). This includes the following new features:... read more

A stable version of ArgoUML (0.16.1) and a new developer release (0.17.1) have been released recently. For more information check http://argouml.sourceforge.net

ArgoUML 0.14.1 was released on Aug 17, 2003.

see the news here:
http://argouml.tigris.org/servlets/NewsItemView?newsItemID=450

A new developer release of ArgoUML is available from the argouml website at http://www.argouml.org

Please note that this is an unstable developer release. We are currently working towards a stable 0.14.0 release, whilst issuing milestone releases on the way.

Have a look at the project news on the argouml website for further details about this release.

The ArgoUML project released a new module today to enable users to parse JAR and Class files in order to obtain class diagrams.

The module is in extreme alpha state and only available via CVS. For details pleae look at http://www.argouml.org

The development release 0.13.1 of ArgoUML is now released. This is a development release, or a development snapshot if you will, showing the direction that the future of ArgoUML will have and testing some new ideas.

This release will be followed by several other 0.13.X-releases before eventually a stable 0.14-release will be made.

Big fixes
Most of the improvements have been made on the inside, so to say, in the development environment and you will hopefully not notice this unless you check out the tool:... read more

The development release 0.11.1 of ArgoUML is now released. This is a release which is in several respects better than 0.10.1 but also in some areas probably a little shakier since a lot of changes are made.

Big fixes:
* New handling of Notations
* Released version of GEF included
* ArgoUML now tries to detect incorrectly saved XMI and generates a warning.

The release 0.10.1 of ArgoUML is now available.

This release is a bugfix-release of release 0.10. The reason for doing this release is the problem in Issue 845 that was not found until the release 0.10 was made.

The Issues fixed are:

8 information about hiding of (attribute|operation)-compartment of a class gets lost during a save-open-cycle
(with duplicates 766 and 780).
829 Deployment diagrams do not save/load properly
845 Sequence Diagram Locks Up
Corresponding problem for Deployment diagrams also solved (not reported).
(with duplicates 840, 856, 858, 876, 881)... read more

ArgoUML is currently #7 in the section Best Java Modelling tool and with your help we can surely push it a little bit further!

Also take the opportunity to vote for other Opensource projects to give their developers a little bit of moral support for their work.

Thanks

This is the first stable release of ArgoUML since 0.8.1a.

Stable in this case does not mean bug-free or perfect. The fact is that
there are several known defects.

Stable instead means that we have reached a level considerably better than
0.8.1a and are putting the foot down to allow also not so adventurous users
to choose 0.10 for their projects. New problems found in 0.10 might be fixed
in a 0.10.1 or a subsequent 0.10.2 if that can be done without breaking
anything.... read more
