What's new

This can be modified in the connection wizard or later in the project properties. Refer to Overriding Sirius refresh preferences for a particular connected project.
- Two new property pages have been added in the properties of .aird files (available from the Properties contextual menu):
- Sirius Session Details : displays information about session resources, viewpoints, representations (number, load state, manual refresh need, invalid status).

Important note
Windows 10 users: Windows 10 Defender significantly slows down Eclipse, reason being Windows 10 Defender scanning the JAR files. The problem has been reported to Microsoft here. Until then, a workaround to this problem is to add Eclipse root directory to Windows 10 Defender's exclusion list, detailed steps are shared here.
Note: This issue is not specific to Eclipse.
Fixed Issues
This version also introduces several fixes:
- No more save failed caused after cloning a diagram with a broken representation link
- Notes in diagram are now created with the same Style when Team for Capella is installed than in a standard Capella
- A bug causing a blank result for the import of the commit history has been resolved.
- Windows Service installation is now possible when Team for Capella installation path contains whitespaces.
- A few other minor fixes around collaborative features or the compatibility between Capella features and the collaborative add-on.
