1.1.1

Description:

Capella 1.1.0 is a service release (maintenance of Capella v1.1.x branch)

New & Noteworthy URL:

API Certification:

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues:

There is no specific issue detected on the Capella solution architecture.
Capella is a modular platform which uses Eclipse modeling components, Sirius and EMF Diff/Merge, and a PolarSys component, Kitalpha.
The role of Kitalpha is twofold:

Providing basic components from the Kitalpha Core Technology Kit (e.g. Transposer)
Extending Capella with Viewpoints for System co-engineering

Some components from Capella were externalized as new components on Amalgam project in order to be reusable (Activity Explorer, Contextual Explorer).

Security Issues:

There is no specific security issue detected on the Capella solution.
