Version History

Version 2.10 2004/11/19

Corrected the interaction between the -attributes and -operations options and classes with no fields or methods. Many thanks to Jonathan Wright for this contribution.
New documentation look, designed by George Zouganelis
This may well be the last version to run under Java 1.4. The next version will require Java 5.0, to support the new Java features: generics, varargs, and enums.

Version 2.9 2004/10/07

Class diagrams can now include constructors, through the new -constructors option.

Version 2.8 2004/08/09

Fixes to support the Maven plugin.
From this version onward, use the appropriate options to create documentation links; no hyperlinks are created by default.

Version 2.7 2004/08/06

The -noguillemot option will output round brackets around stereotypes, instead of angle brackets. The angle brackets appear to be breaking some programs.

Version 2.6 2004/08/03

Note that from this version UMLGraph requires Java 1.4.
Documentation example: multiple views from the same source. Many thanks to Vadim Nasardinov for this contribution.
Documentation now includes a FAQ section.
Documented the fact that package names must be explicitly specified in tags. Arne Bayer noticed the associated problem.
Correct handling of multiple space in tags. Noted by Jeffrey M. Thompson which the help of FindBugs.
Completed customization of URL mapping. Now the mapping is fully configurable and can be controlled by the use of two new options: "-apiDocRoot" and -"apiDocMapFileName". This change allows the creation of "clickable" diagrams fully integrated with web-based documentation (for example JavaDoc pages). The upcoming UMLGraph Maven plugin will take full advantage of this feature. Implementation contributed by Nascif Abousalh-Neto
The -hide argument now accepts regular expressions.
Removed copy-pasted Java code that was introduced in version 1.24.
Some dot edges were missing a semicolon. This is now fixed.

Version 2.5 2004/06/15

The object swimlanes in a sequence diagram can now show nested object invocations. This very useful and non-trivial change was contributed by Jonathan R. Santos.

Version 2.4 2004/05/29

Will now generate local URL hyperlinks for packages specified in the command line; and links to the Sun documentation for all other packages. Many thanks to Nascif Abousalh-Neto for contributing this change.

Version 2.3 2004/05/27

Remove hardcoded default node and edge fonts. Thanks to Vadim Nasardinov for submitting the corresponding patch.
Generate javadoc hyperlink paths in a directory-tree structure; do not show arcs on hidden classes. Thanks to Alessandro Riva for submitting the corresponding patch.

Version 2.2 2004/05/25

SVG class diagrams containing guillemot characters for stereotypes can now be made valid through a new -outputencoding option. Use "-outputencoding UTF-8" when using dot to generate SVG diagrams. Many thanks to Nascif Abousalh-Neto for bringing this problem to my attention.

Version 2.1 2004/05/16

The guillemot characters used for the create and destroy stereotypes are now portable between groff and pic2plot. Many thanks to Scott Johnson (Duluth, MN) for recommending the change.

Version 2.0 2004/05/09

Support for drawing sequence diagrams.
New distribution format.
Browsable and printable documentation.
Removed the ant-based compilation and distribution system; it was proving a hindrance in organizing the project in a resonable manner. Compiling the documentation and distribution is now handled by a (non-distributed) Makefile; the compilation process is described in the README file.

Version 1.24 2003/07/30

Changes by Art Hampton (thanks):

Create the appropriate label for relationship tags when referring to classes which were not parsed by javadoc.
New "-hide <matchstring>" option, where <matchstring> matches the end of the name of an entity. Matched entities are removed from the graph. A regular expression matching facility will be added when Java 1.4 becomes more widespread.

Version 1.23 2003/05/7

Added -output command-line option, and an ant-based build file. Modified the dot output to avoid triggering a graphviz bug that made escape codes visible.

Version 1.20 2003/04/25

Fixes by Nick Efthymiou (thanks): will generate SVG hyperlinks to Javadoc documentation, better handling of abstract class fonts, and correct listing of interfaces.

Version 1.19 2002/09/20

New options: nodefontname, nodefontabstractname, nodefontsize, nodefontcolor, edgefontname, edgefontsize, edgefontcolor, edgecolor, bgcolor.

Version 1.18 2002/08/26

Can now specify class-local options.
Support for the @tagvalue tag.
Support for the @stereotype tag.
Added nodefillcolor option.

Version 1.15 2002/07/26

First public release.
