Smart Studio Beta History

Revision as of 21:22, 22 May 2019 by NWE (Talk | contribs)

Beta 3.0.22.3 (2019-05-22)

Bugfixes:

  • Improved filtering in Bulk Editor
  • Improved Bulk Editor performance for large amounts of content
  • Fixed a MetaAttribute merging issue


Known Issues:

  • Saving changes to a released MetaClass is erroneous and should be avoided; it is not yet avoided automatically.
  • ACM query scopes and query view items are currently not supported.
  • The selective list editor for meta properties doesn't know the source (environment or project) of a currently configured list.
  • Meta properties with property type "Undefined" can't be related to a meta class when saving to the environment.
  • Some data (e.g., the column width for meta proxy properties) can't be modeled or transported using SmartStudio projects yet.
  • Objects cannot be created via the webservice using scope connections (view items) with a more general target type than the target scope's. E.g., if I want to create tasks on the client, I have to use a scope connection (and scope) actually defined specifically for the task metaclass, instead of (for example) BaseClass, even if the "creation allowed" flag is set to true. This was the case in UBIK.Studio as well, but seems worth mentioning since the UI doesn't make it obvious.
  • Instances in the Bulk Editor can only be deleted from the Environment using the context command "Delete" followed by saving the worksheet to the Environment; removing the row using a shortcut or the "Remove" context command will not serve this purpose.


Beta 3.0.22.2 (2019-05-21)

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed multiple smaller issues in the Application Graph and other graphs regarding loading or deserializing graph content.
  • Fixed sorting in Bulk Editor
  • Fixed (filtered) record count in Bulk Editor


Known Issues:

Beta 3.0.21.0 (2019-05-13)

New Features:

  • With the UBIK® Object Finder, a new search feature for finding MetaClasses and Instances is available now in SmartStudio.
  • Added a command for loading the derivates of a selected MetaClass in the Inheritance Graph.
  • Loading instances in the Bulk Editor is cancelable more swiftly now.
  • Recursive scope connections now can be selected and edited just like any other connection.
  • Assembled MetaDefinitions are now shown as objects too, not only in XML.
  • Added a possibility to set the Attribute MetaClass in the inspector for MetaProperties.


Adaptions:

  • MetaProperties are now identified by either their UID or the compound criterion [Name, Namespace, DataType] (i.e., properties with the same UID always are regarded as equal, whereas properties with different UID are regarded the same if Name, Namespace and DataType are the same).
  • However, in some cases (e.g., MRO) there already are mutliple properties with the same Name, Namespace and DataType (and which in case of MRO aren't marked as system objects/properties). We react to this by defining the UID as the one and only identification criterion for system properties, including those not marked as system properties but having the Name "VALUE" (for MRO).
  • Refactored MetaProperty reference target to be reflected by a SmartModel, consistently.
  • Removed visual grouping for MetaProperties on MetaClasses in order to make adding new properties more comfortable.
  • Changed default ACM property lock status to readonly instead of writable by system in order to prevent accidental changes by the client.


Bugfixes:

  • Fixed a bug where switching the MetaClass of a Bulk Editor led to the editor being cleared.
  • Fixed a bug where the list of scopes wasn't updated.
  • Fixed a bug where an exception occured sometimes during deserialization of a worksheet.
  • Fixed an issue where the Application Graph could become inconsistent due to a suboptimal connection constraint.
  • Fixed a bug where the reference target gets lost when drag&drop-ing a metaproperty from the picker
  • Fixed an issue where there was no possibility to select reference property for reference scope connections of worksheets loaded from project
  • Fixed an issue where the DeleteConfig editor vanishes for reference scope connections of worksheets loaded from project
  • Fixed a bug where changing a scope name leads to changing the metaclass name
  • Shortcut Enter is hazardous for saving changes to the project - changing it to shift+enter
  • Fixed a bug where the user can't remove a recursive scoped connection
  • Fixed an issue where updating the list of scoped properties when modifying the scoped metaclass doesn't always work
  • Fixed a bug where counter badges (MetaProperties, Instances) were not shown anymore on graph elements
  • Fixed an issue where the details of an existing MetaProperty weren't loaded after adding it to a MetaClass (similar fixes for scopes and proxies).
  • Fixed behavior for newly created (via toolbox) scopes and proxies.
  • Fixed a bug where dragging an instance from the Bulk Editor changed the resulting model's UID erroneously.
  • Fixed a bug where view items weren't updated on saving to the environment if they already existed.
  • Fixed a bug where local testing of Applications wasn't possible anymore


Known Issues:

  • Saving changes to a released MetaClass is erroneous and should be avoided; it is not yet avoided automatically.

Beta 3.0.12.1

New Features:

  • When previewing the release of a worksheet to the environment, worksheet details do not overrule details from the environment (DB) anymore. In future, there will be a configuration for this, because the best behavior isn't always the same.

  • Improved consistency when merging changes
  • Context-sensitive commands are refreshed immediately now

Beta 26

Previously, the Comos SmartModel Import couldn't save models with names that are incompatible to the UBIK naming rules. In order to prevent this problem, from now on the Comos Import replaces some special characters in imported names with an underscore, and it adds the prefix "C_" to all names in order to avoid names starting with numbers.

This is kind of a brute-force approach which we should improve in future, but for now it solves immediate problems with Comos XML imports.

  • Models from unknown ources are marked as "changed" by default in order to indicate that they're most likely not yet persisted in the project nor in the environment.

Beta 22

Bugfixes:

  • Connection bug fixed
  • MetaProperty selection bug fixed

Attention: Projects saved with previous versions are incompatible to this version (and cannot be openend).
