 New Code Generation in Umbrello 1.2
 </title>
 <date>2003/09/01</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>A new code generation structure has been imported into Umbrello 1.2
 (the KDE CVS version).  This should be a big improvement over the old
 code generation.  Currently it is very unstable.  If you want to use
 Umbrello 1.2-alpha for real work you should <em>cvs co -D 2003-08-28
 kdesdk</em> rather than using the latest CVS version.  Testers of the
 new code should <em>rm ~/.kde/share/config/umbrellorc</em> before
 running Umbrello.</p>
 
 <p>As of 2003-09-24 Umbrello no longer compiles with KDE/Qt 3.1.</p>

 <fullstory>
 <p><a href="http://jriddell.org/">Jonathan Riddell</a> has taken over as
 the project administrator following the tragic spontanious combustion of 
 Paul Hesgen's computer.  I'll be developing the programme as part of my
 final year project at <a href="http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk">Stirling Uni</a> but 
 others are more than welcome to help in the programme's development.</p>

 Update on program status
 </title>
 <date>2001/10/17</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>I have been getting a lot of E-Mail asking if I have stopped supporting UML Modeller.</p>
 <p>Nothing could be further from the truth.  I have University assignments and exams to do, which has force me to suspend programming at the moment.</p>
 <p>University finishes on Nov. 22 and expect a release shortly after that with the first version of <b>State</b> diagrams added.</p>
 <p>It looks like I will be doing an Honours year next year, this will leave me with plenty of time to continue my work on this program.  So expect plenty of updates.</p>

 Version 1.0.3 Released
 </title>
 <date>2001/09/20</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>This release is for all the people who need to convert version 1.0.1 files to
 the latest version. </p>
 <p>It can load both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 files, but due to a bug in the code of 1.0.2
 there is a chance that in the list view (left hand side window), some items may
 end up in folders that were not initially in folders. </p>
 <p>Once loaded, I would suggest saving and reloading before using as this will make
 sure that everything is correct. </p>
 <p>The only other new features in this version are that text now remembers it
 position and diagrams can now be put into folders. </p>

 Version release and the file format
 </title>
 <date>2001/09/19</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>I have had some negeative feedback (valid though) in regards to new releases not 
  supporting older file formats. </p>
 <p>Some comments made have been that the releases have been minor and that the file
 format should not change for such a minor release. </p>
 <p>They have been minor releases, but alot has changed in the code.  This change in
 code has occurred to allow future improvements in the program to be made easier
 and thus meaning future features added quicker. </p>
 <p>The file format used at the moment was never meant to be a permanent format.
 The program will be changed for version 2.0 to use XMI, the standard for UML
 diagrams. </p>
 <p>I therefore need your opinion on the way the program should be released.  There
 are two ways I'm looking at now. </p>
 <p><b>1 -</b> Release one more 1.x version to iron out the bugs and only release
 future 1.x versions as bug fixes and leave the file format static. </p>
 <p>The developers would then start on the 2.0 branch which would not be released
 for a couple of months.  This would use the XMI file format and also have code
 to support the old file format of 1.x. </p>
 <p>This would mean you would not get new features as quick unless you used the CVS
 version.  But it would mean that the files you create would be able to be loaded
 with any future versions. </p>
 <p><b>2 -</b> The other way we can go is to keep going as we are, but this would
 mean the file format would keep changing, but you would get new features
 quicker. </p>
 <p>I am leaning towards the first option, as you get the best of both worlds.  A
 stable file format and if you want the new features you can use the CVS
 version (which will be kept stable).</p>
 <p>Please let me know what you think.</p>

 Developers required
 </title>
 <date>2001/09/19</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>My University has given me permission to take developers on board.  If you are
 interested in being a developer for this project, E-Mail me with details of what
 you would be able to bring to the project.  </p>
 <p>There are many different jobs available, like maintaining the web-site,
 coding, documentation, etc. </p>
 <p>Experience in these fields would be an advantage, but I feel it is more
 important to be willing to give your best and have a strong commitment to open
 source development.  Everyone needs to get a start and I'm willing to give that
  chance.</p>

 Version 1.0.2 Released
 </title>
 <date>2001/09/17</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>With this version I consider that UML Modeller can start to be considered as a
 good application. </p>
 <p>Need to put your UML diagrams into a document or do you need to cut and paste
 between diagrams? </p>
 <p>You now can!  UML Modeller now supports Cut, Copy and Paste and multiple
 selections.  Every Cut, Copy you make is put into the global clipboard as a PNG
 picture to allow you to paste it into any program that supports PNG pictures.</p> 
 <p>If that's not good enough, you can also paste onto other diagrams!</p>
 <p>Version 1.0.2 also adds some features that you requested.  Class diagrams have
 had the following associations added to them:  Implementations, Realizes,
 Compositions and unidirectional associations.</p>
 <p>Use Case diagrams have had Generalizations, unidirectional associations and
 dependencies added. </p>
 <p>Want to organise you Actors, Classes, and Use Cases?  You can now put them into
 folders (Still in development). </p>
 <p>Plus plenty of bugs have been fixed, check out the ChangeLog for more details.</p>
 <p>NOTE: The cut and paste system is still new, so report those bugs to help make
 this a better program for YOU!</p>
 <p>With the new associations added, I have relaxed the rules on what the
 association types can do, so let me know when you find a UML rule being broken.</p>
 <p>Older files saved with UML Modeller will no longer load properly</p>

 CVS is ready to go.
 </title>
 <date>2001/09/13</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p><b>UPDATE:</b> Currently having trouble with CVS server.  I have let sourceforge
 know and hopefully will be fixed soon.  Let me know when you can log in to
 server. </p> </p>CVS is now available, so you can keep up to date with the latest
 developments.</p>
 <p>CVS currently has a few minor bug fixes included but also includes a new feature
 - Cut, Copy and Paste. </p>
 <p>You can now cut, copy and paste in between diagrams.  It also has built in rules
 checking to not allow you to break UML rules.  It also puts a PNG picture of the
 cut/copy into the global clipboard to allow you to paste into any program that
 can handle PNG picture pastes.  </p>

 Version 1.0 Released
 </title>
 <date>2001/09/5</date>
 <fullstory>
 <p>I am proud to announce version 1.0 of UML Modeller for KDE 2.2 has been
 released. </p>
 <p>Check out the ChangeLog for all the changes that have occured.</p>
 <p>I have fixed the installing problem people were having (I hope).  Let me know if
 it works. </p>
 <p>Text is still not transparent, but it is when you print.  So half way there.</p>
 <p>Version 1.0 does not keep backward compatability with beta versions.</p>
 <p>I will make sure though it will keep compatability from Version 1.0 on.</p>
 <p>So download now and give it a try!!!</p>
