v6.4.0 Release Notes

Today we released version 6.4.0 of Context Mapper 🥳

This release contains some bug fixes, a new Context Mapper CLI, improvements in the CML grammar, and it changes how the OOAD transformation step 3 handles object identifiers:

CML Grammar Improvements

• Object attributes on the tactic DDD level can be marked with the keyword unique to indicate that its values must be unique.
• Use Case / User Story grammar:
  • In addition to a and an, the can now be used as an entity article.

OOAD Step 3 Change

• The OOAD step 3 transformation no longer generates Value Objects for the Entity identifiers, but simply generate a String attribute.
  • The String attribute can still be transformed into a Value Object with the corresponding quick fix.
  • This change improves the output of the MDSL generator (VO’s not necessarily desired in rapid prototyping process).

Bug Fixes

• State transitions can have more than two states on the left side now.
• The markdown glossary template has been improved and some bugs were fixed.

Context Mapper CLI

• We implemented a first version of our new Context Mapper CLI. With the CLI, you can currently generate:
  • Graphical Context Map
  • PlantUML diagrams
  • Generic textual output with the Freemarker-based generator

Thats already it for this new release of Context Mapper. As always, if you have any issues or other feedback, please let us know.
