Build 440
Release 3.10 is a minor version update which rolls up all the patches and refine
ments since the 3.00 release.
Special note regarding replicated models: This version of EA will update your mo
del files (.eap) when you open them. Do not try and update a Replica project - a
lways update the Design Master first, then synchronize the Rreplicas with the Ma
ster to copy the changes to the Rreplica. You may also elect to create new Rrepl
icas from the updated Design Master and discard the old version 2.5 Replicas.
The main features are:
- Addition of a dockable 'tab bar' to provide easy access to testing scripts for
an element
- Addition of a dockable 'tab bar' to provide easy access to system tasks, proje
ct issues and glossary
- Addition of a dockable 'tab bar' to to provide easy access to maintenance item
s (changes and defects) for and element
- Addition of 'Hyperlink' element for creating links to other documents and webp
ages and placing on diagram (element toolbar)
- RTF documents can now have heading levels up to 9 deep
- Provide ability to rename or delete the pre-defined model views (Use Case, Log
ical, Dynamic etc.)
- Ability to place 'diagram properties' in a text element on a diagram (freely m
oveable and formattable)
- VB.Net support
- Support for Association Classes (UML connection type)
- More UML support
- Property windows disabled when no valid element selected
- Registry hive for version 3.10 now separate from 2.50 and 3.00 (some quirky be
haviour caused by shared registry settings)
- Attribute multiplicity now shown in diagrams
- Attribute initial value now shown in diagrams
- Simple RTF report for ReportView
- Ability to set the Default Diagram for a project (EA opens to this if availabl
e)
- Last RTF template loaded is recalled when accessing RTF dialog
- Support for Changes and Defects in RTF documents
- Improved Focus of Control on sequence diagrams
- Transitions may have Event, Guard and Action attributes
- Associations now directed by default
- Fixed bug which caused GPF when deleting certain kinds of elements and trying

to undo
- Support for JET 4.0 data access (Access 2000/XP) - requires Jet 4.0 already in
stalled on client - user must configure local option first
- Interface attributes required to be declared 'static'
- Updated type Generalisation to Generalization (spelling correction)
- Plus bug fixes and general tidy ups.

New in Release 3.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Release 3.00 features a large number of enhancements and refinements. A complete
list is included at the bottom of this note. The main highlights are:
- improved GUI with dockable windows and more toolbars
- relationship matrix for managing requirements traceability
- improved reverse engineering of ODBC data sources
- foreign key information is now included DDL import/export
- ability to copy complete diagrams
- additional modeling elements
- an ActiveX read-only interface based on XMI
Once again, many thanks to all those who have supported EA and offered their ide
as and encouragement. Also a special thanks to those who took the time to evalua
te the beta version of this release and report back bugs and issues.
