Main Application Areas
Canvas:
- Improved physics to make zooming in, zooming out and fit to screen smoother.
- Updated icons and fonts on items and layers, layer name text now also changes colour to make it easier to read based on the layer’s colour.
- New right hand edit tab with a search option on the connections and classifications tabs. For connection types, both layer name and connection name can be searched for (e.g. “Business Processes” or “Enable”).
- Time Machine has been temporarily disabled as it is no longer compatible with the latest JQuery libraries. A new version of this will be reinstated in the near future.
Matrix:
- Overall performance of the matrix, including filtering, has been improved.
- There is now a scrollbar on the right hand side for large matrices.
- The matrix headers are now “frozen” so remain on screen when the matrix is scrolled.
Dev Comment - The matrix is no longer upside down.
Timeline:
