YAML Open API Specification from Diagram and Improved Editors - Software Ideas Modeler 13.90

The latest version of Software Ideas Modeler, version 13.90, introduces a number of new features and improvements, one of the most notable being the added support for generating YAML Open API specifications directly from diagrams. This allows developers to easily create and maintain an accurate and up-to-date representation of their API in a visual format.

The new version also includes a number of specific types and formats for Open API generation, allowing for more detailed and accurate specifications to be created from the diagrams. This includes support for a variety of data types such as integers, decimals, dates, and booleans, as well as the ability to specify formats such as email and URL.

The use case editor and requirements editor have also been improved, with new shortcut keys, an action context menu, and the option to export use case steps to CSV format. In addition, the external element picker dialog, matrix editor, and decision table editor have been enhanced for a better user experience.

Apart from new features, this release also includes several bug fixes, such as preserving the port layout when resizing its container and layout calculation for some elements. Some other controls were better optimized for high DPIs.
