Release Notes: This release has a number of new features and improvements which include automatic ERD generation after reversing a DDL file, the ability to open up alternative views from models or shapes, creation of translated copies of a model through the use of Nicknamer, and Perforce integration. In addition, Model Transitor was introduced for establishing transition and support traceability between models.
Release Notes: Improvements were made to database modeling, code engineering, modeling, interoperability, and team collaboration. This release supports modeling, reverse and forward engineering of stored procedure and database triggers, bookmarking diagrams and shapes, batch processing through running command-line operations, mass selection of shapes through Handi-Selection, and much more. Other useful features include exporting revisions from Teamwork server/SVN/CVS, managing pre-written documentation templates, and jumping to a diagram via the Jump To dialog box.
Release Notes: A branch and tag capability was introduced to the VP Teamwork Server, Subversion, and CVS repository integration. With advanced branch and tag support, different modeling projects can run in parallel while keeping the release quality project stable in the trunk. There are also a number of enhancements for various other features.
Release Notes: Reverse engineering of ERD from DDL was introduced. ERD models like entities, views, and relationships can be generated by reversing the data definition language. Images can be incorporated into documentation. Documentation structure can be saved as a template for reuse in other models. Hibernate annotations are supported in ORM persistence. Hibernate version tags can be generated for optimistic concurrency control. There are also a number of enhancements for the modeling features.
