* 4387 There is a limitation on the number of widgets an application can create, causing display issues when a lot of big models or diagrams are opened, and sometimes even crashes.  Done. A callback has been added when the number of created widgets reaches a given limit. It is used to try to clean unneeded graphical objects when the number of widgets gets too close to the limit, preventing the problem to happen. If nothing can be done, a proper error message is displayed asking to close other editors.  2022-02-24 C v2.0 
* 4368 In the coverage viewer, display an overall percentage of the model coverage.  Done. A status bar has been added at the bottom of the code coverage results viewer window to display the coverage rate.  2021-11-25 C v2.0 
* 4291 Provide a way to run a simulation via a command line interface.  Done. The command line interface for Process is accessed via the tool pragmaprocesscommand and has for now a single subcommand simulate, allowing to run a simulation on a BPMN model.  2021-05-31 C v2.0 
* 4221 Windows 64 bits support.  Done. Note that the FlexLM license manager could not be included in the Windows 64 bits version, the licenses have to be switched to PLM.  2021-03-23 C v2.0 
BE 4396 After running asimulation, the 'close' button in the dialog always saves the results before actually closing, without any possibility of skipping this step. It would be better to provide a way to close without saving.  Done. A checkbox has been added near the 'close' button; it is checked by default when the simulation has run until its end, but can be unchecked if the results shouldn't be saved before closing the dialog.  2022-03-28 C v2.0 
BE 4394 The simulation results summary as displayed in the graphs in the zone on the right side of the editor window cannot be exported in any way. It would be nice to give the possibility to export them, for example as a CSV file.  Done. This can now be done via the entry 'Export simulation results summary...' in the 'Simulation' menu in the BPMN editor window. The exported CSV file lists all results for all elements for all scenarios, giving for each the same information as in the graphs, i.e the overall min, max, mean, sum and/or count for the parameter.  2022-03-28 C v2.0 
BE 4383 In the model editor, switching from a diagram in a model to another one actually redisplays everything each time. It would be much more efficient to remember the drawing zone each time a diagram is displayed to be able to restore it later if this diagram is displayed again.  Done. Once a diagram is displayed, everything is now kept and reused if the diagram is displayed again. Note that starting and stopping execution will cause a full redisplay anyway, because all the symbol texts switch from writable to read-only or the opposite, which is only possible today by redisplaying everything.  2022-02-09 C v2.0 
BE 4363 Models with many symbols (hundreds) slow down the editor; this is visible when moving around the editor widow. It would be nice to improve the editor for better handling large models.  Done. A very specific operation intended to make sure all the texts were correctly displayed before returning the control to the user was done, but not needed: it is required mostly to get the correct coordinates for all chunks of text when there is some form of syntax highlighting in the symbols. Since there isn't any in BPMN, this was not needed, and removing it seems to make the display much faster.  2022-02-09 C v2.0 
BE 4288 Improve the performance of BPMN simulation, which can get quite slow for a big model when there are a lot of scenario instances.  Done. A lot of potential causes for simulation poor performance have been identified and optimized.  2021-05-25 C v2.0 
BE 4091 The names of all created items in BPMN models today is initialized to "...". This was done to avoid creating by mistake an item with an invisible name that would be difficult to find and edit. But having to delete the "..." most of the time is not ideal. It would be better to find another way to handle this issue.  Done. All texts are now empty by default, and a frame appears around the empty text boxes when an element is selected.  2021-05-19 C v2.0 
BE 4284 It would be nice to display the execution state at the end of MSC generation from an exploration or simulation log.  Done. The execution state is now displayed at the end of MSC generation.  2021-05-18 C v2.0 
BE 4279 Today, the default text for all symbols and links is '...'. While this is not really a problem for symbols where a text is usually entered afterrwards, this is a bit annoying for links, that usually don't have any text, since the default text has to be deleted almost every time.  Done. The default text had been introduced because if the link text was validated by mistake while empty, the entry for it basically disappeared and was quite hard to find back. Empty text entries have now been made visible, making this default text no more needed.  2021-05-14 C v2.0 
BE 4277 Support multi-instantiation of call-activities in execution.  Done.  2021-05-11 C v2.0 
BE 4271 When BPSim data is loaded from an external file into a BPMN model, modifying it and saving actually doesn't save anything, neither in the model, nor in the external BPSim file. It would be better to either forbid modifications completely, or to save the modified data somewhere.  Done; the BPSim parameters are now saved to the external file when one is loaded. A confirmation is asked when saving the first time to make sure saving to the external file is actually what the user wants.  2021-05-06 C v2.0 
BE 4265 Support parallel execution of multiple call-activity instances.  Done. Since the process associated to call-activity can now have several running instances, an execution tree has been added as a new tab in the panel on the right side of the editor window, describing all running instances as a tree with their callers.  2021-04-22 C v2.0 
BE 4201 Support BPSim.  Done. Standard BPSim data is now supported in the model, and simulation parameters can be defined in the editor via a new panel in the element properties. A simulation can be run on one or several scenarios, and the results are stored in standardized BPSim format and accessible via the project. Logs for each scenario instance can also be generated, allowing to replay it after the simulation if needed.  2021-04-21 C v2.0 
BE 4259 It would be nice to automatically handle message flows outgoing black-box in exploration, without needing to configure the max messages before starting exploration.  Done. Message flows outgoing black-boxes are now handled automatically in exploration. There is no need to configure max messages per flow in exploration properties.  2021-04-19 C v2.0 
BE 4253 Some BPMN tools insert symbols in models that are based on invalid semantic elements such as signals or resources. In this case, it would be nice to warn the user that some symbols are missing, and that saving his model might remove them.  Done. The invalid symbols are spotted and a warning is displayed when the model is opened that they won't appear in the model and might be deleted if modifications are done and saved.  2021-04-12 C v2.0 
BE 4198 Today, edge and shape properties are displayed in 2 separate groups in the panel on the right side. It would be better if both were displayed in the same group, so that changing the selection from a shape to an edge wouldn't require to change the displayed group.  Done. Both sets of properties are now displayed in a single group called "Element properties" that follows the selection, whatever it is.  2020-12-21 C v2.0 
IN 4208 The current installation utility for macOS is weird: instead of the dialog reopening itself over and over until the downloading is finished, it would be much nicer to have an actual progress bar.  Done. The dowload progress is now shown via a progress bar instead of a constantly reopening dialog.  2021-02-01 C v2.0 
PM 4391 If an element, for example a MSC trace, is saved as a file name that is already in the project, it works, but a new duplicate element is added to the project anyway.  Corrected. This was a Windows-specific issue: two file names were compared to know if the model was already in the project, but one had backslashes and the other one forward slashes. The paths have been normalized before comparison to prevent the problem from happening.  2022-03-03 C v2.0 
PM 4376 Allow to rename a file from the project manager.  Done. A new item 'Rename / move file...' has been added in the 'Element' menu in the project manager. It asks for the new file name for the selected element, then renames it.  2022-02-11 C v2.0 
PM 4152 It would be nice to be able to drag and drop elements in the project.  Done. Handles now appear on the right side of the project manager window when the mouse pointer hovers over an element line. This handle allows to move the element around.  2021-01-28 C v2.0
