[sirius-dev] [ANN] Sirius 4.1.1

Hi all.

On behalf of the whole team, I'm happy to announce the official availability of the Sirius 4.1.1 release. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Sirius 4.1 is a major new release. Version 4.1.0 [1] was released on 2016-10-07, but was not announced officially, as a few important tickets could not be completely finished on time. Version 4.1.1 released today includes them.

Sirius 4.1 includes major updates and improvements on the "properties view" support introduced in version 4.0. As of 4.1, this feature is no longer considered experimental. People who already used it with Sirius 4.0.x are encouraged to update.

Of course there are also many other fixes and improvements; they will be advertised soon on the website [2], and in the meantime you can refer to the complete list of bugzilla issues [3] and the release notes [4].

== Availability ==

Sirius 4.1.1 final is available from the following update sites:
* http://download.eclipse.org/sirius/updates/releases/4.1.1/mars
* http://download.eclipse.org/sirius/updates/releases/4.1.1/neon

They both correspond to the exact same source code, but built against a different base Eclipse version. We recommended you use the update-site matching the version of Eclipse you use to avoid potential issues at runtime.

This version includes the complete JUnit and SWTBot test suites used to validate Sirius. They are published along with all their dependencies in separate update-sites from the core, available at:
* http://download.eclipse.org/sirius/updates/releases/4.1.1/mars/tests
* http://download.eclipse.org/sirius/updates/releases/4.1.1/neon/tests

If you want to install the org.eclipse.sirius.tests.support feature, which provides APIs to help create automated tests of Sirius-based modelers, you will need to add the following update-site: * SWTBot 2.1.1: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/releases/2.1.1/

== Compatibility ==

Sirius 4.1.1 is compatible with the following versions of Eclipse:
* Eclipse 4.5 (Mars).
* Eclipse 4.6 (Neon).

Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) is the reference platform.

== Changes ==

The complete list of (95) tickets fixed in Sirius 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 can be found at [3].

The release highlights will soon be published at [2] and more details can be found in the release notes [4].

Best regards,
Pierre-Charles David (Sirius co-lead)
