All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
The format is loosely based on Keep a Changelog .The project does not follow Semantic Versioning and the changes are documented in reverse chronological order, grouped by calendar month.
- The project was migrated to 2024.1.
- de.itemis.mps.nativelibs : This unmaintained language was removed.
- de.itemis.mps.hacks.xmodelgen : This unmaintained (and broken) language was removed.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.editor.querylist: The expression queryListNode was renamed to node and a new expression index can now be used to refer to the index of the current queried node.
- de.itemis.mps.spellcheck: This new language enhances the MPS spell checker to support custom dictionaries declared in a language and also adds some dictionary-related intentions to a new intention group Dictionary.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.blutil.rt: Provide useful scope class UniqueElementScope which ensures that there are no duplicates in the scope.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.blutil: Extensions to the language jetbrains.mps.baseLanguage.regexp are now provided to support most of the missing features of the Java regex language.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: IDragPaletteEntry and IPaletteEntry are not mutually exclusive anymore and can be implement by one class.
- de.slisson.mps.tables: Various fixes to table end cells in combination with insert and deletion handlers were made.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.celllayout: The maximum number of layout operations in LayoutWatchdog#DEFAULT_MAX_LAYOUTING_OPERATIONS can now be set e.g. by setting the constant in an application plugin.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: Diagrams can now show a grid that is used for snapping elements to it. It can be configured (visibility, grid snapping, grid color/size) in the editor definition of the diagram itself.
- A module stub solution MPS.Kotlin was added to support referencing Kotlin classes and libraries from MPS.ThirdParty.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: A new option for diagrams was added to allow boxes to set a new required minimum size.
- de.slisson.mps.tables: Sticky table cells were added. Add the style sheet item horizontal-sticky-cell or vertical-sticky-cell to a table cell to activate the feature.
- de.slisson.mps.editor.multiline: A new cell constant multi-line can be used to create dynamic read-only text that spans multiple lines.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.projectview.runtime: Fixed several NPEs. See: #903, [#904]((#904) , #901
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: Some issues related to ELK styles and custom IDs were fixed.
- de.slisson.mps.reflection: The language uses the class ReflectionUtil directly and doesn't copy ReflectionUtil_copy in the model anymore.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.editor.querylist.runtime: Querylist calls model checks of target nodes less agressively.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: Preserving the port order works the same way as before to avoid layouting issues. The clear layout style attribute now works properly.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: ELK layout attributes on the box, edge and label level are now also supported.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.celllayout.styles: A new style sheet item full-width-root was added that can make the root cell of the editor occupy the full editor width. That means that, for example, horizontal lines with a push/grow style will extend to the full editor width as well as all other cells with the same style.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram.runtime: Diagrams can now be used in an headless environment (e.g. for rendering documentation).
- de.slisson.mps.editor.multiline.runtime: A bug was fixed where the multiline cell got a wrong background color set.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram.runtime: The dependency to de.q60.mps.collections.libs was removed.
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: Various improvements to diagrams were made. (see: PR #866 )
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: Support for 10 new layout algorithms was added. Most of the options of the ELK layouter (150 options) can be customized through style class items. All options can also be set in the inspector of the chosen layout algorithm in the diagram cell. There is now also a new option connect boxes without dummy ports to not create dummy ports anymore when connecting 2 boxes. This avoids merging of edges from the same ports (hyperedges).
- de.itemis.mps.editor.celllayout.runtime: A bug with overlapping cells when mixing indent and horizontal/vertical layouts was fixed.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.projectview: Class reloading of project views now works.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.editor.querylist: Query lists now support model checking for non-dynamically generated nodes and collapse by default is generated correctly.
- de.slisson.mps.reflection: To fix the compilation issues, the language is now generated earlier in the generation plan.
- A new language de.itemis.mps.changelog was added to describe CHANGELOG.md files. This file is generated with this language.
- de.slisson.mps.conditionalEditor: Support for editor components with parameters was added.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.grammarcells: Read-only model accessory cells can now also be used in places where constant cells are supported.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.editor.querylist: Returning null in the query shows the empty cell again (regression).
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.editor.querylist: Dynamic generated nodes (without a model) can now be used in query lists if read-only is set to true.
- The language
de.slisson.mps.structurecheckwas renamed to de.itemis.mps.structurecheck . - The stubs
com.mbeddr.mpsutil.serializer.xmlwere renamed to de.itemis.mps.utils.serializer.xml . - The language
de.slisson.mps.hacks.xmodelgenwas renamed to de.itemis.mps.hacks.xmodelgen .
- MethodLineDoc is now deprecated and an automatic migration is provided to migrate to
jetbrains.mps.baseLanguage.javadoc.
- de.slisson.mps.editor.multiline.runtime: An issue was fixed where pressing
shift+enterdidn't enter a new line in the current text but in the next collection in the editor.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.modellisteners: The newly supported interface listeners are now backward compatible and doesn't require regenerating the listener aspects anymore.
- A new language de.itemis.mps.statistics was added that adds a new menu MPS Statistics to the Tools menu. The containing action writes a file dependencies.txt to the root folder. It contains all the used dependencies of the current project.
- de.slisson.mps.tables tables now support a new property column UI actions (experimental): This property adds actions to the MPS toolbar to add a new column above/below the current column or to delete the current column. These actions only work for simple tables that are based on rows (default: false).
- The performance of the language de.itemis.mps.linenumbers was improved.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.intentions: Intentions available in read-only cells are not available anymore when the annotation showIntentionInReadyOnlyCell is not added.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.modellisteners listeners on interface concepts are now supported.
- NotNull annotations in the code are now checked at run time (the javac2 compiler is used).
- de.itemis.mps.editor.diagram: Edge labels can now be annotated with the attribute editors of the edges. Previously they were floating in the diagram as external boxes. A new flag use annotations from parent in label is used to customize the behavior.
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.intentions: A new style attribute intentions-in-read-only-cell is now available to allow intentions in read-only cells. Single intentions can also be enabled or disabled in those cells through the intention Toggle Show Intention In Read-Only Cell Annotation .
- com.mbeddr.mpsutil.editor.querylist: Default editor cells now support style attributes.
- de.slisson.mps.tables: Tables now support a new property row UI actions (experimental): This property adds actions to the MPS toolbar to add a new row above/below the current row or to delete the current row. These actions only work for simple tables that are based on rows (default: false ).
- There is a new DSL called pagination, it provides an editor cell paginate which given an editor cell collection it displays the collection in multiple pages, with swing components to move between pages and show the current page.
- The grammar cells grammar.wrap cell now checks constraints from the containing node when combined with grammar.rule.
- The auto-completion for a WrapperCell where the wrapping node is not created yet, shows entries for possible wrapped nodes with the description of the wrapped nodes concept and not the description of the wrapping nodes concept.
- The auto-completion for an OptionalCell without a dedicated description shows no description anymore, instead of using the description of the concept which is using the OptionalCell .
