Modelling
=========

Added DataType stereotype <<constraint>> with tags {constrains} (names
the type to be constrained), lower, and upper, in response to the
support request "Declaration of Datatypes as Integer Ranges".


************

General
=======

This is a maintenance release.

Generation
==========

Fixed bug 60 (Can't have negative values for Integer identifier
components).

Fixed bug 63 (Constraint error navigating n:1 from (null)).

Fixed bug 74 (Confusing document generated for access-to-operation).

Testing
=======

Fixed bug 76 (Test cases don't compile).

Installation
============

The script to convert case exception data from Emacs to GPS format
(scripts/case_exceptions.py) has been made executable.

Documentation
=============

Links changed to match migration of the ColdFrame Sourceforge
project to the new Allura platform.


************

************

Modelling
=========

Added <<bounded-string>>, <<discriminated>>, <<fixed-string>> and
<<protected>>.

Reworked AssociationClass handling; the stereotype is now
<<association-class-naming>>, and you can specify {association-name},
{class-name}, or both (though that would add another layer of
confusion).

You can specify the discriminator of a Generalization, which has the
advantage of appearing on the class diagram. If you specify both the
name and the discriminator, they have to match.

Generation
==========

Progress is only traced if make is given VERBOSE=yes.

Testing
=======

Added example/ and test/ code.

Noted that many of the tests use AUnit 3 (as supplied with GNAT GPL
2011), and aren't compatible with the AUnit 1.03 provided with Debian
(up to wheezy).

Installation
============

Changes for Debian 6 compatibility (see installation notes).

General
=======

ColdFrame can't currently be installed on Windows or Debian (problems
with TclXML). This has prompted a long-overdue move from modelling
with Rational Rose to modelling with ArgoUML.

Unfortunately there's no easy route from a Rose model to an ArgoUML
one, but Rose has never been freely available.

The changes to ColdFrame's source are on the ArgoUML branch in the
Sourceforge repository. The Rose version is on the RationalRose branch
(currently the same as the default).

The old .raw files and related scripts are no longer used. Instead,
the ArgoUML .uml model files, containing XMI, are converted directly
to ColdFrame's .norm format, and code is then generated as before. The
conversion is done by an Ada program (normalize_xmi), which uses XIA
(a copy is included with ColdFrame).

Modelling
=========

ColdFrame's previous profile hasn't been completely migrated yet. The
main omissions are the data typing options, for example constraints,
conventions, and modular types. A lot of the problem is the UML 1.4
preference for tagged values to be regarded as properties of
stereotypes, which leads to some contortions.

See the model ColdFrame_Examples.uml in the models/ subdirectory for
example models.

The ability to extend ColdFrame's processing (by using your own
profile and code generation) isn't supported; unrecognised stereotypes
and tagged values are ignored. This may change.

Code
====

Implemented a workround for a bug in GNAT GPL 2011/GCC 4.7 (GCC
Bugzilla #50934)

Testing
=======

AUnit (version 3), the Booch Components and TclAdaShell (for
examples/) are expected to be installed or on ADA_PROJECT_PATH.

Installation
============

Much changed, please see the documentation.
