Changes: Right-Angle associations are in. This is more important than it sounds. A number of really annoying bugs are fixed, including a crash bug. The various Actions have been refactored. One result of this is the removal of the ActionFactory class from the project. A Res_fr.java file allows this release to run using French resource strings.


Changes: Package diagrams have been added--Thorn now supports all 9 UML diagrams. Support was also added for Dynamic Java macros. Interfaces can now be drawn in "lollipop" form. When dragging an interface, class or package and dropping it onto a package on a diagram, the project tree is similarly updated to reflect the new hierarchy. You can now create new diagram items directly onto container items in a diagram. The Delete key is now context sensitive (and works).


Changes: This version features many bugfixes, and adds State diagrams.


Changes: A new ability to parse .java files and load their information into the model, and refactoring of the object messaging code to improve performance/reliability.


Changes: This release includes a more detailed Thorn tutorial in JavaHelp, a PyPad Jython script editor, a SPyConsole Jython script editor, and a macro to generate HTML output for easy web viewing of a model. Bugfixes are also included for a problem that prevented the model file from being saved properly, and a major bug that prevented models with relation from being loaded.
