UMLServer 2.0 Release Notes

These release notes apply to Version 2.0 (Build 251), released on 8 Oct 2007. This release is suitable for UMLStudio 8.0.

What's New in 2.0

The most important addition in 2.0 is the ability to deploy UMLServer as a Windows Service.

The installation script has been upgraded to be compatible with the latest version of Windows (e.g., XP).

This release also contains enhancements consistent with new functionality in UMLStudio 7.0.
Build 224 is consistent with UMLStudio 7.1.
Build 225 has been enhanced so that multiple logins by the same user (from the same PC) are counted as 1, provided the multiple login feature has been enabled in the Options dialog. You will also need at least UMLStudio Build 742 for this feature to work.
Build 226 has an enhanced License dialog which remembers the last entered Key Code. For security, the Key Code is not displayed when you view this dialog. If you leave this field blank and OK the dialog, the last saved Key Code will be retrieved instead.
Build 228 allows you to use a wildcard for any part of a domain name (e.g., john@*.mydomain.com) for the purpose of setting up floating license user accounts.
Build 230 provides a new check box (when UMLServer is run as an application) called Log Failed Login Attempts. When you tick this box, for each failed login attempt, the failed user ID and password is written to the License Log.

Installation script may fail on some XP boxes (fixed by applying InstallShield 7 SP1, in Build 223).
In User Access dialog, the Move Up button moves the description in the list, but not the definition (fixed in Build 228).
When running as a service, the merging of projects results in error "Merge Failed: can't load bitmap in CreateTemplate" (fixed in Build 229).
File association lookup in the registry fails for some file type (fixed in Build 230).
When running as a service, the service startup causes a nag on some Windows versions (fixed in Build 241).
New build compatible with UMLStudio 8.0 (fixed in Build 250).
Fixed licensing problem in build 250 (fixed in Build 251).
