Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

1.12

Added

generate: added --no-strict-mode option. Strict mode places additional limitations on generators, but is required for parallel generation.

1.11

project-loader library now has a separate version number and a separate changelog because it had to receive some backwards incompatible changes.

Added

MPS 2022.x is now supported:
- commons-logging is used to support both log4j (MPS 2021.3 and below) and java.util.logging (MPS 2022.2 and above) frameworks.
- generate: The new API in 2022.x to determine applicable facets is supported.
- Note that MPS 2022.2 seems to have a race condition which makes it wait 100 seconds on startup. A workaround is to start the backend in test mode (--test-mode). This is reported to JetBrains as MPS-35992.

1.10

Added

project-loader: new ProjectLoader and related classes using builder pattern to simplify maintaining backward compatibility in the future.

Deprecated

project-loader: global methods executeWithEnvironment and executeWithEnvironmentAndProject are now deprecated, use the new ProjectLoader class instead.

1.9

Added

generate: when there is nothing to generate the exit code is 254 now, to distinguish it from the general generation error (exit code 255). This is still treated as an error like in the previous versions, which matches MPS behaviour.

Changed

generate: exit code for a general MPS error is now 255 on all systems. Previously -1 was returned, which could be interpreted as 255 or -1 depending on the system.

1.8

Added

project-loader: new overload of executeWithEnvironmentAndProject that allows passing an EnvironmentConfig, new method to create an EnvironmentConfig from a list of plugins and macros. These two methods can be used together to customize the configuration of the environment beyond the possibilities offered by the existing methods (e.g. one can add libraries to the environment).

1.7

Added

generate: option --parallel-generation-threads to specify the number of threads to use for parallel generation. The default is 0, which means no parallel generation.

1.6

Added

generate: options to include and exclude lists of models and solutions, similar to modelcheck.

Fixed

generate: applicable make facets are now retrieved correctly on MPS 2021.3.

1.5

Added

project-loader: move argparser and jackson dependencies from 'implementation' to 'api' ('runtime' to 'compile' in Maven).

1.4

Added

--log-level flag to set the default log level of backend-specific loggers (categories starting with de.itemis.mps). The default log level is warn but can be set to off for backward compatibility.

1.3

Added

modelcheck: added --result-format=module-and-model to report on both module and model failures. The default option model is kept for backward compatibility, but a warning is emitted with a hint for migration.

Changed

generate: IDEA IconLoader is now activated when run in IDEA environment. This is useful when generating cell screenshots using mbeddr documentation language from the command line. If the loader is not activated, any icons are replaced by a single black pixel.

1.2.6.903d328

Changed

modelcheck now reports unresolved references.

1.2

Added

--environment option with two values, IDEA (default, for backward compatibility) and MPS.

1.1

Added

modelcheck: can now exclude models or modules from checking.

Fixed

If --warning-as-error was enabled, success would be erroneously reported there were no warnings, only errors.

1.0

Added

Extracted execute-generators and modelcheck backends along with project-loader library from [mbeddr/mps-gradle-plugin] (https://github. com/mbeddr/mps-gradle-plugin) using git-filter-repo to keep Git commit history.
Added integration tests (integration-tests).
