Hi everyone,
We’ve just published Syside v0.11.0-rc.1 on GitLab Releases. This is the first time we’ve shipped a release candidate rather than going straight to a stable release, so a quick word on what that means.
A release candidate is a feature-complete version of an upcoming bigger stable release and has passed our internal QA, but it hasn’t yet been exercised across the range of real models, workspaces and CI setups that you all run. We’re publishing it so that you can try the new features against your own work before we ship the stable build. If nothing significant turns up, a stable follows in a couple weeks.
What’s in 0.11.0-rc.1
- Overhauled Syside Table Views. Now you will be able to visualize more complex data in your table views. However, this overhaul required some breaking changes, so your current models will need some migration. We are currently working on automating as much of these migrations as we can.
- Syside Modeler now uses its own built-in visualization engine that has been powering the Syside Modeler CLI diagram generation for the past couple of months.
- First batch of Syside Automator’s High-level Query API making it easier for you to explore your model using Python.
- More various improvements to model evaluation, formatting, ReqIF import/export, and so on.
Full notes and more details (such as links to docs and install instructions) are on the release page.
What we’d ask of you
Install it, try it out, and report anything that seems off about the new features. You can also start migrating your models to the new tables views, so that you are ready for when the stable 0.11.0 comes out.
You can report issues using our regular channels (support email or this forum), but please mention that you’re on the RC!
We’ll keep doing this for future releases too. It gives us a window to catch problems while there’s still time to fix them, and it gives you a look at what’s coming before it lands and be prepared for what’s coming!
P.S. GitLab Releases allow you to subscribe to an RSS feed, if you do not want to miss any future release candidates or even full releases.
P.P.S. The pre-release only covers Modeler extension and Automator. And you need to have a valid license to use it.
