StateSmith 0.7.4-alpha

[0.7.4-alpha]

Added

• RunnerSettings.filePathPrintBase to control how file paths are printed.
  • Required when C# scripts (.csx) are used.
  • https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/79

[0.7.3-alpha]

Added

• draw.io - add support for draw.io plugin and new drawing style where a state can have its text event handlers as a child text node instead of its label #77.
  • see src/StateSmithTest/test-input/drawio/Design1Sm.drawio.svg or expand section below
  • https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/77
  • child text must have matching style elements (in any order): fillColor=none;gradientColor=none;strokeColor=none;resizable=0;movable=0;deletable=0;rotatable=0;
    • this is already done if you use the plugin https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith-drawio-plugin

[0.7.2-alpha]

Added

• draw.io - embedded images inside of a draw.io diagram are now ignored. Issue #77.
  • images are sometimes embedded in state machine diagrams for documentation purposes.
• draw.io - treat null labels as blank instead of throwing exception. Null labels don't normally occur. Issue #77.
• improved $notes validations.

[0.7.1-alpha]

Added

• Add initial support for draw.io files as alternative to yEd files. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/77
  • Supported file extensions:
    • .drawio.svg Recommended as design file is a valid svg image that can be used in markdown and other files!
    • .drawio
    • .dio

[0.7.0-alpha]

Changed

• Generated .h file now automatically includes <stdint.h> (required for history states).

Added

• Add history. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/63
  • Deep history functionality supported via history continue nodes.
  • plantuml supports history states and history continue nodes.
• Add $prefix methods.
  • Experimental feature to help with duplicate state names. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/65

Fixed

• Pseudo state transition de-duplication now considers initial state parent incoming transition count too.
• Improved exit handling optimization.

[0.6.1-alpha]

Added

• Improve generated code clarity by showing step 1,2,3... and other small things.
• Improve generated code clarity by removing if (true) for behaviors with no guard clause.
• Improve generated code by nulling ancestor_event_handler only when actually needed. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/14
• Throw helpful exception message when duplicate state name used. Previously relied on c compiler and user to catch the problem.

VertexValidationException: Duplicate state name `OPTION` also used by state `Statemachine{LaserTagMenu1Sm}.State{MENUS_GROUP}.State{MAIN_MENU}.State{OPTION}`.
    Vertex
    Path: Statemachine{LaserTagMenu1Sm}.State{MENUS_GROUP}.State{MM_SHOW_INFO}.State{OPTION}
    Diagram Id: n0::n3::n2::n2
    Children count: 0
    Behaviors count: 3
    Incoming transitions count: 2

[0.6.0-alpha]

Fixed

• Fix parent self transition involving initial state incorrect https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/49
• StateSmith grammar fix for parsing 'e()'. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/60

Changed

• Transition actions are now run after states are exited (instead of before) https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/6
• Reserved else "trigger" name for else functionality https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/59

Added

• Support $choice pseudo states/points https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/40
  • supported in PlantUML as well.
• Support multiple transitions for initial states, entry points, exit points. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/40
  • Allow multiple transitions from initial state.
  • Initial state must have a default transition (always true).
  • Allow incoming transitions to initial state.
  • Allow multiple transitions from entry point.
  • Entry point must have a default transition (always true).
  • Allow incoming transitions to entry point.
  • Allow multiple transitions from exit point.
  • Exit point must have a default transition (always true).
• Allow specifying else on transitions https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/59
• Optimize pseudo state transitions to avoid code duplication.
  • Especially important for when History states are eventually implemented as the code de-duplication savings can rack up big there.
• Improve entry and exit point validations.
  • Detect duplicate labels in the same scope.
  • Allow exit points to target parent state. Same as a self transition on parent.
• grammar - support backtick strings and other ASCII symbols https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/42

[0.5.9-alpha]

Added

• Runner - set process exit code to -1 on failure.
• Runner - output additional exception details to <diagram_file_path>.err.txt. This is useful for generic assert like exceptions that don't yet have useful error messages. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/38
• validation - new exception: State machines must have exactly 1 initial state. Actual count: 0.
• validation - helpful error messages for when state machine design is not found.
• Add Describe() methods for Behavior and Vertex.
• Add TracingModder class and experimental Runner.postParentAliasValidation() callback that allows graph modification.

Fixed

• Root initial transition actions are now output. Had been ignored previously. Other initial transition actions were output properly. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/47
• Parent to child transition now exits current child first. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/46
• Parent to self transition now exits current child first. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/48

[0.5.7-alpha]

Added

• detect yEd hidden edges https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/29
• Better error reporting regarding diagram edge IDs.
• Improve PlantUML parsing https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/21
  • notes, and improve parsing of malformed skinparam blocks.
• Prevent antlr4 error output to console.

Fixed

• Now throws useful lexer stage exceptions instead of printing them and not recognizing the failure. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/31

[0.5.6-alpha]

Added

• Support PlantUML input as an alternative to yEd input. Input file extension must be one of ".pu", ".puml", ".plantuml" https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/21

[0.5.5-alpha]

Fixed

• Fix generated comment regarding marking event as handled when not for a transition

[0.5.4-alpha]

Added

• Support entry and exit points https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/3
• Initial support for $PARENT_ALIAS nodes. https://github.com/StateSmith/StateSmith/issues/2
• Improve exception error messages

[0.5.3-alpha]

Fixed

• Fix generated comment about exiting to LCA name
• Fix FinishCodeBlock() when BracesOnNewLines = false;
