Archi 5.4 beta

[Phil Beauvoir]

Hi folks,

Archi 5.4 Beta 1 is available for testing if you'd like to try it.

Archi 5.4 fixes a number of issues, builds upon the latest version of Eclipse (4.32), and adds a few new features. You can read about these in the Change Log.

Archi is built on the Eclipse framework which has a 3-monthly release cycle. With each new Archi build we try to use the latest version of Eclipse in order to fix underlying bugs and regressions in the framework. Unfortunately, some versions of Eclipse contain other problems and can't be used. It's taken until Eclipse 4.32 (June 2024 release) to get to a version that should hopefully be stable. We are now ready to target Eclipse 4.32 in Archi 5.4. This build should fix a number of issues, especially on Mac and Linux.

Support for more key bindings (shortcut keys) has been added to this version of Archi. You can now assign shortcut keys to entries in the palette (a long-standing feature request).

Please download Archi 5.4 Beta at the Archi Beta Page.
