Obeo Designer 6.2: performance and user experience
Obeo Designer 6.2 is now available and brings many improvements, in particular improved performance of your modelers and a better user experience.
New expression interpreters to boost performances
You can improve the performance of your modeler up to 30 % by using new interpreters. Expressions are used by Obeo Designer to retrieve information from the model (to populate a representation, to dynamically compute graphical properties or to define the behavior of a tool). These three new interpreters have been added to simply retrieve the value of features (attributes and relations), to evaluate services and to get variables.
Brand new comparison framework
Obeo Designer 6.2 integrates EMF Compare 2.1. This component comes with an enhanced user interface. Most of all, its architecture has been redesigned to support comparisons of large fragmented models. Now, only the necessary fragments (minimized scope) of the compared models are loaded, bringing an incredible performance boost along with the memory gain.
Property views enhancement
Obeo Designer 6.2 natively integrates EEF (Extended Editing Framework), one of the components provided by the Eclipse Modeling project. This framework allows you to create rich views to edit the properties of your model elements.
The new EEF version now supports collaborative mode: it means that the fields concerning properties of elements currently edited by another user are disabled until the modification has been committed, and automatically refreshed with the new values.
Obeo Designer 6.2 brings also the following enhancements:
- Better collaboration performances.
- Default size of containers.
- More progress bars for long lasting actions.
The full New and Noteworthy is available on the Obeo Designer website. You can also download a free trial version.
