Version 8 released !  - Release notes ?
« on: April 15, 2010, 09:09:54 pm »
Congratulations to Sparx for getting version 8 out of the door.  

Just wondered though - what was added/fixed between beta 3 and the release ?   I can't seem to find the release notes

Release notes are there, but there is no indication as to what has been changed since beta3.
Just a whole heap of changes for version 8.

I'd certainly like to know... perhaps they could be posted here?

A quick scan of the official release notes suggested that some bugs I reported years ago have finally got fixed (which I don't think I saw up to Beta 3).

However, if you have Association Classes and move models between repositories or even use the old "export and re-import stripping GUIDs trick" see my posting: 854: Association Classes incorrectly imported to ensure you DON'T have the situations I describe.

Look right down the bottom for the few things that changed.

Where can I download 8 for registered users? Logged into the registered users section but the following page only lists 7.5:

http://www.sparxsystems.com/registered/reg_ea_down.html


Also, I went to http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/8/index.html
and the image says 7.5, probably want to fix that :)

Scratch that, looks like the page was updated while I was posting!

Most likely you just needed to refresh the page.

Thank you !   Although that page doesn't make clear what was changed between beta 3 and the official release as far as I can see.   Never mind.

I don't see anything that specifically says what has changed since 8.0 beta 3 - am I missing something?

I might drop in the question: is the EA testing team using EA to test the new release?

I wouldn't be surprised if the answer was yes. (And also for a couple of other answers...)
