Umple release 1.26.1 is completed

[Timothy Lethbridge]

To the Umple Community,

A release of Umple has been made and is available via the usual channels,
at http://dl.umple.org (now including Docker). The Eclipse plugin should
be updated shortly.

Release notes for Umple release 1.26.1

This release includes all updates to Umple From May 2017 to November 21
2017, including:

Substantial (8 times) speedup in UmpleOnline by using an internal server
that the php communicates with using a socket.

Logging in UmpleOnline.

Availability of building a Docker image for UmpleOnline to allow easily
running it on a local machine (see http://docker.umple.org)

Fixes to the build environment, particularly ensuring build is verified in
Windows using Appveyor, which had been broken.

Progress on joint.js as a diagram drawing tool in UmpleOnline (still
beta).

Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements in parsing models and code
generation.

The Jars are as follows:

The umple-n.n.n-hhhhhhhh-rrrr,jar is the command line compiler
When you do a build a symbolic link is made on linux and mac calling this
umple.jar in the dist directory. The hhhhhhhh is the git commit, and the
rrrr is an incrementing count of the numer of commits to master.

For the latest Eclipse Plugin see
https://github.com/umple/umple/wiki/InstallEclipsePlugin

When you build Umple, you will also generate other jars including
umpledocs, to create the user manual; umplerun, a special tool for
simulation, umplesync, an an extended compiler used by Umpleonline.

For details on how to install see http://dl.umple.org

The next release should
around the new year, and should feature improvements to debugging,
greater ability for UmpleOnline to operate in the cloud, improvements to
joint.js capabilities and further stability improvements.

i've tried to update my Umple 1.26.0 installation to Umple 1.26.1 using
the update site within eclipse, but the new version does not show up. is
the new version available through the update site?

ciao,
gunter.

Hi Gunter,

Vahdat ran the Eclipse update site build, and I have now installed it, so
the update site should work at:

http://cruise.eecs.uottawa.ca/org.cruise.umple.eclipse.plugin.update.site

Let me know if you have any further problems. Sorry for the delay, I meant
to do this more promptly.

Tim

hello tim,

my students have been using Umple now for a while and we've discovered the
following problems. would it be possible to fix those marked PRIORITY HIGH
before the start of the winter term (before jan08)?

thanks,
gunter.

PRIORITY HIGH
- BugAbstractClass.ump
- BugDelete.ump

PRIORITY MEDIUM
- BugGuardWithTwoParameters.ump

PRIORITY LOW
- BugConstraint.ump
- BugAssociationClass.ump

[Timothy Lethbridge]

Thanks Gunter for pinting these out.

I will have more resources to fix bugs come January 1, when a new crop of
UCOSP students starts. But I will see if I can muster some resources
before then (any volunteers from the umple-dev community)? All of these
look relatively straightforward.

I will raise these as formal issues later this afternoon (by the way, you
could do that yourself next time) so we can track progress.

Hi,

I have raised the following issues on your high and medium priority issues

https://github.com/umple/umple/issues/1160
https://github.com/umple/umple/issues/1161
https://github.com/umple/umple/issues/1162

and
https://github.com/umple/umple/issues/1164
for one of your low priority issues.

You could track these. Normally there is little development of new issues
in December, but I am trying to clear out pressing bugs to enable higher
adoption of Umple, so I will see what I can do.

Regarding BugAssociationClass.ump. It is not actually a code
generation bug. This was fixed a
couple of months ago. The solution is below. I have added a documentation
issue at:
https://github.com/umple/umple/issues/1163

class Element {
}

// not compiled due to an Umple parsing error...
// cannot specify the association ends at the Assignment side with the
current syntax
associationClass Assignment {
Date addedToGrouping;
* ch Element group;
* gr Element children;

}

Thanks a lot. I have 150+ students using Umple next term, so it would be
great to have these issues addressed as students often run into them.

I also noticed that enumerations are now supported. That's great.
