New service release: 0.7.1

Posted on by

I created a quick service release to incorporate the changes since the last release.

This includes some minor adjustments in order to provide a more seamless user experience (sorry for the bullshit, but I just couldn’t withstand it :) ).

Well, the new release fixes a nullpointer exception, and adds an option to save the current graph.

There are further tweaking regarding usability: the default layout is changed to Tree Layout in order to allow faster responses, and it is possible to hide the Local context node. These changes are the beginning of some serious overhaul, our goal is to increase the usability of the plugin.

New major release: 0.7.0

Today I created a new release from Debug Visualisation.

The new release is called 0.7.0, as it introduces major new features:

  • Preliminary support for Filtering nodes: similar to the Logical Structures feature it is possible to define the structure, and only visualise that (e.g. in case of Lists only the content should be depicted, not the other attributes).
  • Drill in: it is possible to define a new top-level element instead of the Local Context, and hide other items.

There are also some minor updates, such as the reintroduction of the Simulated cooling layout algorithm.

On the other hand most changes are not visible in the user interface, but the revamped code should allow us to create some new features in the next service releases.

We recommend the update for everybody. Some technical information:

  • After some fighting with the update site project the category information is lost. I have no idea of the cause.
  • There is a new feature present in the update site: the Java Filter project defines filters for some items in the collections API.

New service release for Debug Visualisation

Version 0.6.0 introduced some serious regressions from the previous versions, so we decided to create a quick service release.

This release contains fixes for Stack Overflow and Hidden nodes issues, and added some minor new features as the ability to zoom the graph.

You can use P2 to automatically update your installation, or install the new version from the http://eclipse.cubussapiens.hu update site.

We are hoping, this release will be usable than the previous one.

Debug Visualisation 0.6.0 released

After many hours of work we finally managed to release a new version of the Debug Visualisation project! This release is a complete rewrite of the previous version (0.5.X), and now it is built upon the JFace API and other standard eclipse technologies instead of different custom hackings. We expect improved stability and maintainability from the new techniques, which means that we can implement more advanced features in the plugin.

Currently, the new version does not include all functionality what the old version did, but we’re sure we will manage to reach it soon. For more information about this release, please refer to the release announcement.
