This release mainly fixes compatibility issues with the supported Eclipse platforms. It contains the following changes:
- The downloadable application is now built on the latest (2024-12) Eclipse target and bundles Java 21 JRE (instead of Java 17).
- The features and plugins provided via the update site support Eclipse versions from 2022-12 as oldest version up to 2024-12 as latest version. So it is possible to install itemis CREATE features into Eclipse distributions which use one of the Eclipse releases from this range.
- The required Java version is now 17 or higher.
- Due to compatibility issues of release 5.2.4 it is not possible to update some configurations like Eclipse 2023-12 with itemis CREATE 5.2.4 to the 5.2.5 release. If you encounter this issue please install 5.2.5 directly into the target Eclipse without prior update to 5.2.4.
- The licence management service has been updated and is now called ‘itemis Licensemanagement’ instead of the previous ‘YAKINDU Licensemanagement’. This change does not have an impact on usage of existing licenses.
- Extended validation for transitions.
- Improved resizing and reorientation of sync nodes.
Additionally, these issues were fixed:
- Fixed a bug when multiple simulations are running.
- Fixed a bug with the C# generator when an operation call was provided as a parameter of another operation call.
- Fixed a bug with Eclipse 2023-12 which prevented the statecharts to be loaded when the product is installed via the update-site into an existing Eclipse instance.
- Removed the redundant C# beta feature which couldn’t be installed.
- Removed the “completed” and “doCompletion” internal variables from the simulation view.
- Fixed a bug with incorrectly disposed SWT resource when using the “Genmodel wizard”.
- Fixed a bug that resulted in the incorrect statechart file could not be opened if the model file is incorrect.
- Fixed an exception that could occur when resizing a sync node.
- Fixed an exception that could occur when using editing proposals on states.
