We are happy to provide release 2016/07 of the KIELER Pragmatics Project! KIELER Pragmatics is a framework for enhanced user interaction in graphical modeling that builds on the Eclipse platform. This document describes how to install the release and highlights the most exciting new features.
As the usual bonus, we are co-releasing our KLighD-based KIELER Ptolemy Browser.
Please note that this will be the last release to include the KIELER Infrastructure for Meta-Layout in its entirety, as well as our layout algorithms. Both are currently being moved to the official Eclipse Layout Kernel project. |
KIELER Pragmatics 2016/07 is provided as a set of features, available to be added to your Eclipse installation via an update site. KIELER Pragmatics 2016/07 was tested on Eclipse 4.5 "Mars", but may also be compatible with other versions of Eclipse.
