Welcome to the pumla wiki!

Upcoming version roadmap:

v1.0 full productive version

• First "non-beta" Release
• stable version for defined configurations (Mac, Linux and PlantUML)

v0.9 second beta - integrated feedback/problem ticket resolutions from the first beta round.

• hardened API
• hardened installation/setup procedure
• polished documentation (completly consistent in itself over examples and documents)
• second official "Release"

v0.8 first beta - hardening of the API

• an installation system for Linux, Mac
• open up the ticket system for the public
• collaboration model defined: how can others contribute or participate
• communicate / disseminate pumla to the world
• first official "Release"

v0.7 additional capabilities:

• lightweight variant management concept
  • model the variance in a pumla-re-usable way (with PlantUML and pumla syntax)
  • use model configurations to create variants of (PlantUML) diagrams

v0.6 additional capabilities:

• refactored "tagged values" allowing to put elements depending on their tags and values
• convenience macros to put "functional chains" with one command on a diagram, considering the relations and/or connections of the model repository

Done so far:

v0.5 additional capabilities:

• re-usable model elements for dynamic behavior description: sequences and state machines.
• more convenience functions for putting elements onto a diagram, e.g. depending on their stereotypes.
• allow better "bridging"/mixing of static and dynamic elements, e.g. state or sequence diagram on deployment diagram.
• additional templates for relations and connections

v0.4 capabilities:

• Re-usable model element types: component, rectangle, node if name and alias are equal; also every other when both name and alias are used
• Re-usable relations
• Re-usable connections
• Cheat Sheets to explore contents of model repository regarding re-usable
  • model elements
  • relations
  • connections
• Modelling Guideline to help writing re-usable PlantUML architecture artifacts
• Template for model elements
• User's Guide with description of all extensions
  • macros
  • file markings
  • global variables
• pumla command line tool (python script: pumla.py) to scan your files and fill the re-usable model repository
• Examples overview showing off the capabilities
