Oslo May 2009 CTP: Released
Posted by Dan Rigsby on May 27th, 2009
It’s been many long months since the last drop of Oslo (January 2009). Last night, Chris Sells and others announced the May 2009 CTP of Oslo (version 0.4.2). Each new CTP brings more features, more documentation, and more stability. The May CTP holds true with many new features including:
- The first public release of Quadrant
- Major updates to Intellipad (including a built in authoring mode)
- A unified tool set for all “M” languages
- A new installer (themed like Intellipad and Quadrant)
- UML Domain support (Use Case, Activity, Class, Sequence, Component diagrams, etc) and a loader to import UML diagrams in XMI format into the repository
- CLR Domain support and a loader to import .NET assemblies into the repository
I was told that we would have support for most of the command line tools in Intellipad for this release such as being able to compile and deploy to the repository. However, after having played with Intellipad for 30 minutes this morning, I can’t find any of these commands. They should be some simple customizations via python scripts and modifying some xml files. Hopefully the team will release these additions as well.
