Version 2.1.0 (released 2016-12-02)

See Class Diagrammer 2.1.0 Released for more information.

• Added missing manifest entries for Diagrammer.Core so that project files correctly save application title and version, rather than empty strings.
• Fixed custom colors not getting saved except on project display options.
• Changed default right color to a lighter shade of blue for improved readability.
• Upscaled bitmap output files (BMP, JPEG, PNG) by a factor of four for better quality.
• Fixed documentation of layout unit which is 1/72" for Java Graphics2D, not 1/96" as for WPF.
• Added shortcut key Ctrl+W for File: Close (close current project).
• Changed default button on all Change… dialogs from Cancel to OK, so pressing Enter accepts rather than rejects all changes.
• Diagrams View: Preselect item after removed item in Change Elements dialog lists, if possible, rather than always selecting item before removed item.

Many additional changes & fixes concerning UML element display.

• Added class stereotypes «internal» (i.e. non-public), «private», «protected», «static», and «strictfp».
• Added field properties {synthetic}, {transient}, and {volatile}.
• Added method properties {final}, {native}, {strictfp}, and {synchronized}.
• Changed last parameter of varargs methods from T[] to T….
• Consistently sorted otherwise identical methods by covariant return type.
• Fixed class names being left-aligned rather than centered.
• Fixed «package» stereotype being right-aligned rather than centered.
• Fixed nested classes of generic classes appearing before their containing class.
• Fixed relation lines protruding inside element boxes at right and bottom borders.
• Suppressed display of redundant «final» stereotype on «enumeration» classes.
• Suppressed display of redundant return type and {final} annotation on enumeration constants.
• Suppressed display of auto-generated enumeration methods valueOf and values.
• Suppressed display of redundant {synthetic} annotation on {bridge} methods, which are always synthetic.

Version 2.0.3 (released 2016-11-05)

• Improved editing of numerical entry fields with better IntegerStringConverter, as described in JavaFX Spinner for Numbers.
• Updated to JFreeSVG 3.2, FxGraphics2D 1.5, NetBeans 8.2 & Java SE 8u112.

Version 2.0.2 (released 2016-06-05)

• Renamed JAR file & source directory for GUI executable from Diagrammer.Fx to Diagrammer.

Version 2.0.1 (released 2016-05-01)

See Diagrammer Fixes & Samples for related project updates.

• Changed default folder for output files from current directory to project directory, if any. Current directory remains the default when no project file exists (only possible in GUI application).
• Non-existent directory components of a user-defined output folder are now created automatically, rather than the output job silently failing.
• Fixed slightly misaligned relation components by setting RenderingHints.VALUE_STROKE_PURE.
• Changed background color for all output formats to opaque white, as AWT Graphics2D cannot clear an area (i.e. space for relation labels) with a transparent color.
• Help: Stated non-configurable default colors for all diagrams: white background, black text & lines, gray drop shadows.
• Outputs View: Disabled diagram-related check boxes when no output job is selected.
• Diagrams View:
  • Added relation context menu option Copy…, as in the Change Relations dialog.
  • Fixed project-wide Display Options changes not being reflected in the current diagram.
  • Fixed mouse hit testing malfunctioning after certain diagram updates.
