Rafcon

"""""

- Features:

- renaming of module paths: core instead of state machine; gui instead of mvc
- writing wrong data types into the outputs of the "execute" function produces an error now
- Use external source editor: A button next to the source editor allows to open your code in an external editor, which you can configure
- Gaphas: When resizing states, grid lines are shown helping states to bea aligned to each other (as when moving states)

- Improvements:

- Gaphas: Change drawing order of state elements. Transitions are now drawn above states, Names of states are drawn
beneath everything. This should ease the manipulation of transitions.
- Gaphas: States are easier to resize, as the corresponding handle is easier to grab
- states are now saved in folder that are named after: state.name + $ + state.state_id

- API:

- library paths can now be defined relative to the config file (this was possible before, but only if the path was prepended with "./"

- Documentation:

- started creation of "Developer's Guide"
- moved ``odt`` document about commit guidelines into ``rst`` file for "Developer's Guide"

- Fixes:

- :issue_ghe:`5`: Fix connection bug
- :issue_ghe:`120`: Make state machines thread safe using RLocks
- :issue_ghe:`154`: Multi-Selection problems
- :issue_ghe:`159`: Transitions cannot be selected
- :issue_ghe:`179`: Allow external source editor
- :issue_ghe:`202`: RAFCON crash
- :issue_ghe:`221`: issue when dragging data flows
- :issue_ghe:`222`: Cannot remove transition of root state in TransitionController
- :issue_ghe:`223`: rafcon library config relative path undefined behaviour
- :issue_ghe:`224`: Switch to respective state when trying to open a state which is already open.

- Refactoring:

- Widgets have TreeViews not have a common base class. This allowed to get rid of a lot of duplicate code and made some implementations more robust
- the code behind connection creation and modification in the Gaphas editor has been completely rewritten and made more robust

"""""

- deactivated as not compatible with 0.7.13

Patch releases 0.7.\*
---------------------

""""""

- states are now saved in forlder that are named after: state.name + $ + state.state_id
- Hotfix:
- fix unmovable windows for sled11 64bit

""""""

- Features:

- Bidirectional graphical editor and states-editor selection with multi-selection support
- Linkage overview widget redesign for optimized space usage and better interface

- Improvements:

- Global variable manager and its type handling
- Configuration GUI and its observation
- State substitution: preserve default or runtime values of ports
- Group/ungroup states
- ``LibraryManager`` remembers missing ignored libraries
- New config option ``LIBRARY_TREE_PATH_HUMAN_READABLE``: Replaces underscores with spaces in Library tree
- Update of transition and data flow widgets

- API:

- ``ExecutionHistory`` is now observable
- Configurations are now observable
- allow to set ``from_state_id`` id ``add_transition`` method for start transitions

- Fixes

- :issue_ghe:`177`: Data flow hiding not working
- :issue_ghe:`183`: Rafcon freeze after global variable delete
- :issue_ghe:`53`: Configurations GUI
- :issue_ghe:`181`: State type change not working
- Several further fixes

- Refactorings, optimizations, clean ups

""""""

- Features:

- Global variables can now be typed, see :issue_ghe:`Feature 81<81>`
- GUI for modifying the configurations
- Config files can be im- and exported
- Graphical editor can be shown in fullscreen mode (default with
F11), see :issue_ghe:`Feature 36<36>`
- I18n: RAFCON can be translated into other languages, rudimentary
German translation is available
- RAFCON core can be started with several state machines

- Improvements:

- Fix backward compatibility for old ``statemachine.yaml`` files
- :issue_ghe:`136`: Undocked sidebars no longer have an entry in the task bar and are
shown on top with the main window
- Added tooltips
- When starting RAFCON from the console, not only the path to, but
also the file name of a config file can be specified. This allows
several config files to be stored in one folder
- Use correct last path in file/folder dialogs
- Show root folder of libraries in the shortcut folder list of
file/folder dialogs
- new actions in menu bar, menu bar shows shortcuts
- Source and description editor remember cursor positions

- API:

- State machines and their models can be hashed

- Fixes

- :issue_ghe:`161`: When refreshing a running state machine, the refreshed one is
still running
- :issue_ghe:`168`: Undocked sidebars cause issues with is\_focus()
- :issue_ghe:`169`: Wrong dirty flag handling
- :issue_ghe:`182`: Test start script waits infinitely
- Several further fixes

- Refactorings, optimizations, clean ups
