What didn't make it into 7.0 Beta

Looks like the ability to create formatted notes didn't make it in.

Can the Sparxians confirm?

DDL to manage a changing schema.....

What did make it except for eye candy? I'm not very convinced this time.

To be fair, Database Views made it, but I haven't tried it yet. The ability to include external images on a diagram is useful and a bit more than eye-candy.

However, Support for Aspect Oriented Design didn't make it yet; it won't be long before that becomes a must have for UML tools.  I'm starting to need it in my college and continuing education lectures now, but AOP is off and running hard with AspectJ and Aspect.NET.  Jacobson & Ng provide a good discussion and suggested notation for AOD.  Properly implemented, EA would provide tremendous support to the modeling process by supporting aspect sliced diagrams.

With the addition of a Point Cut compartment to a Class element, we could probably handle the rest with judicious use of a <<merge>> relation between classes until the OMG gets around to addressing the AOD issues.  EA could either provide a user defined compartment, or isolate the compartment in an <<aspect>> stereotype.  Apologies for my rant here in this thread, but I feel strongly about this.
