What's new in version 4.6.1.3

    • The Check-model tool was enhanced to allow insertion of user comments in the Message Suppression View.
    • A new Check-model test was added to report a warning when the model includes transition priorities, and Statemate is running in Classic mode.
    • A "Delete Empty" button was added to the attributes matrix in the attributes form, to delete all un-enforced attributes with no value.
    • Statemate was enhanced to support DOORS 9.3.0.1 (version 9.3 is not supported).
    • Workarea backup option was added by creating copies of the charts.data file in the workarea, for use in case of workarea corruption. Creation of the backups is active when setting the environment variable STM_DO_AUTOSAVE.
    • Statemate was enhanced to automatically use the pm.old file when parsing of the pm.dat file fails. This behavior is available when setting the environment variable STM_AUTO_PM_RECOVERY.
    • New dataport function was added to retrieve truth-table information:

stm_truth_table_rec_ptr stm_r_tt_all( stm_id st_id, int *status);

    • A New API was added to the Configuration Management interface, to determine charts/files revisions when creating a configuration file:

STM_CM_get_revision_for_config_file(

                const char *workfile_name,

                const char *ext,

                char revision[STM_CM_version_length],

                char error_message[STM_CM_message_length] );

 

  • MicroC Enhancements
    • In the MicroC generated code, timeouts related to test-benches will be named using the following template:
      tm_tb<timeout-id>
      instead of:
      tm_<timeout-id>
    • 4 New OSDT API's were added to configure names of auto-generated variables in the MicroC generated code:
      * Context Variable Name(nameid, varName)
      * Next State Info Variable Name(activityNameid, prefix, activityCGName)
      * Stay Same State Info Variable Name(activityNameid, prefix, activityCGName)
      * Current State Info Variable Name(activityNameid, prefix, activityCGName)

      Available in distribution with the OSI's: MAINLOOP_SC, MAINLOOP_SC_EXT.
      Can be updated also from default OSI

  • MKS X-Server update
    • A patch for MKS X-Server 8.5 is required if the MS Update for Windows XP KB2536276 is installed. The X-Server patch is available here on IBM Fix-Central.
