Publication for Capella 2023.4.0 (2023-06-06)
The focus of this version is on user experience improvements.
Web Client Improvements
- The search treats % and _ as any other characters, making it possible to search for the exact chain containing one of those.
- OSLC link targets and their OSLC identifier are included in the search scope.
- Consequently, it’s now possible to locate model elements linked to an artifact ART-ID by simply searching for ART-ID.

- Capella models and model elements are displayed with the same icons as within Capella.
- The labels of the Viewpoints and their ordering is now identical to what they are in Capella.
- Representations are grouped by type in the explorer tree, just like in the Capella explorer.
- The Model Tree nodes are now properly aligned, no matter whether they have children or not.
- Diagrams are scaled to the browser size. More specifically, diagram images are scaled down if they exceed the available width of the available area.
- An action makes it possible to display diagrams in full screen.
- When in full screen, it is possible to grab the whole diagram with the middle mouse button to move it easily.
Figure 2. Miscellaneous Improvements in the web UI
- Representation Notes in diagrams can now be clicked to navigate to their target diagram.
- Clicking on objects in diagrams that have other representations attached makes it possible to access those representations.
- The jobs page now refreshes automatically.
- OSLC small preview is now supported, which consequently makes it possible to have the OSLC preview being displayed by Polarion for links targeting Capella model elements in Publication for Capella.

Contributor Client Improvements
- At the end of a publication, the jobs page is no longer automatically opened. A pop-up with a hyperlink leading to the jobs page is now displayed instead.
- Updating from the server only considers friends that have been configured as Artifact Repositories within the Traceability model.
- The "Init traceability" action now only displays domains that are not already configured in the model.
- The "Init traceability" action now displays icons for each initializer.
- A new kind of initializer is available to facilitate the creation of Artifact Repositories in the model by retrieving available friends from the Publication server.

Bug Fixes
- A bug prevented very large models from being published (when the amount of bytes to publish exceeded the largest Integer value in Java). This has been resolved, making it possible to publish very large models. However, the RAM and disk space must be sufficient to hold the published data in memory and in the temporary folder used by Java, which is system-dependent.
