DeepaMehta 4.1.3 brings a lot of useful GUI improvements and, for developers, a View Customization Framework. The Topicmap Panel provides increased means of expression, higher information density, and better usability. This new look&feel is realized as a plugin (Box Renderer), so if you don't like it, you can switch it off. The Detail Panel's information display is much more understandable and shows less redundancy. Developers can hook in drawing and event handling behavior in the default Topicmap Renderer whereupon 2 topic rendering flavors are supported: draw-on-Canvas and DOM-rendering.
Furthermore you can work with particularly complex data models ("aggregated composites") in the Webclient, and you can install/start/stop plugins without restart. For an extensive list of new features, changes, and fixes 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. Further highlight features and improvements of this release include Pinnable Detail Panel, up to 10 times faster topicmap rendering performance, improved interaction with topic/association details, and improved handling of HTML links.
