While DeepaMehta 4.1.1 has not much to offer for the end user it brings crucial bug fixes and various enhancements in the Plugin Development Framework. Main features comprise Timestamps (not yet user perceivable) and a new Time API; better performance through exploitation of the browser cache; and Edit Conflict Detection for supporting collaborative work. Furthermore, a new Property API allows attaching arbitrary metadata to topics and associations. Numeric metadata is trie-indexed which allows for performant time- and and geo-based range queries. For a complete list of changes in DM 4.1.1 see the release notes.
After 3 and 1/2 years of work, 7 beta releases, 5 weeks after schedule, at Aug 7, 2020 DMX 5.0 has finally arrived.
The focus of this final milestone was on improving the DMX development experience. The APIs are consolidated, and a DMX Developer Guide is available, as well as API docs. There are minor Webclient UI improvements and crucial bug fixes as well. For more information and download link see this forum posting.
Note: since version 5 DeepaMehta is called "DMX".
DMX 5.0-beta-4 is released at July 22, 2019. Two and a half years in the making of DMX (formerly "DeepaMehta 5") this is the first release that provides Data Guarantee. That is when you install a newer version in the future (beta-5, …) your content will be migrated automatically. Start with DMX 5.0-beta-4 today and your content will be safe.
