TopBraid EDG 7.1 is currently available for beta testing. This new release unveils a number of new exciting features which we will preview, including:

    • Enhanced visualization capabilities

    • Improved performance

The highlight of this release is a new visualization component designed to significantly enhance users ability to review models, understand data and collaborate with colleagues. It is delivered as a new “EDG Diagram” panel that:

    • Combines display of the model elements (e.g., classes) with the display of data
    • Offers fully configurable selection of content to include in the diagram
    • Includes ability to modify and configure layout and display options
    • Supports saving and sharing named diagrams i.e., diagrams as “first class citizen”

This release includes new integrations as well as several usability, functional and non-functional improvements. Click here to view the full release notes for TopBraid EDG 7.1.
