| − | This year, the maintenance carried on fixing identified bugs, although an emphasis has been put on correcting usability issues. Indeed, during the meeting in Nice, the WP9 members agreed to refocus on the needed tasks to address some specific bugs and issues reported by DEPLOY partners, and wished resolved by the end of DEPLOY. Thus, no new features were implemented but those appearing in the description of work. The tasks to be performed by the WP9 members were then scheduled, prioritized and regularly updated during the WP9 bi-weekly meetings. The updates allowed to capture and integrate rapidly some minor changes to enhance the usability of the platform which were required by the DEPLOY partners. The following paragraphs will give an overview of the the work that has been performed concerning maintenance on the existing platform components (i.e. core platform and plug-ins).

| − | The tasks to solve the issues faced by the DEPLOY partners have been listed and being assigned to groups according to their priority. A high priority means a high need in the outcome of a given task. The group 1 has the highest priority, the group 2 has an intermediate priority, and the group 3 has the lowest priority. The group 4 concerns topics that could not be ressourced during the lifetime of DEPLOY.The prover integrity item although not being directly covered, has been partially addressed thanks to Isabelle and SMT integration. Unfortunately, the originally planned export of full proofs and integrity check is beyond the scope of DEPLOY.

| − | == Platform maintenance ==
| |
| − | The platform maintenance, as it can be deduced from the above tables in section [[#Motivations | Motivations]], mainly concerned stability and performance improvement. These topics will be discussed and detailed in a separate chapter about scalability improvements.<br> | |
| − | However, other prioritary improvements were made on the platform. These improvements or came from DEPLOY partners specific needs, or were corresponding to previously identified needs (listed in D32 - Model Construction tools & Analysis III Deliverable).
| |
| − | Hence we review below the motivations of some noteworthy implemented features:
| |
| − | * '''A Possibility to highlight patterns in the ProverUI.''' This feature came from a request of DEPLOY partners<ref name="searchInPUI">https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=651672&aid=3092835&group_id=108850</ref>, often facing the need to find particular patterns such as expressions in long predicates (e.g. long goals). Since Rodin 2.2, and its new ProvingUI interface, a nice feature was added, allowing to search and highlight a string pattern into the whole ProvingUI views and editors. This function as also been enabled on direct selection of text in this UI.
| |
| − | * '''A better output providing warning and errors in case of wrong or missing building configurations.''' This issue, often seen as a bug or a plug-in incompatibility, raises when a user imoprts and tries to use a model on a platform with some missing plug-ins needed on build. The user often use to think his models corrupted although Rodin just being not able to build them, and hiding this information to the user. This is why, since Rodin 2.3, an output in such case has been provided taking the form of warnings or errors that any user can review. This is a partial answer to Rodin plug-in incompatibilities issue.
| |
| − | * '''The switch to Eclipse 3.7'''. Due to the major improvements made every year in every Eclipse releases and the continuously growing number of contributing projects which are for some of them used as basis for Rodin plug-ins, the Rodin platform follows the evolution and is adapted every year quickly to the latest Eclipse version available. This year, Rodin 2.3 originated the switch from Eclipse 3.6 to Eclipse 3.7.
| |
| − | * '''A Handbook to complete and enhance the existing documentation.''' At the DEPLOY Plenary Meeting in Zürich in 2010, it has been stated that the current documentation, in its state at that time, would not support, a engineer starting using the tools without significant support of an expert. Losts of efforts to improve the documentation were performed and coordinated by Düsseldorf, and took form of the Rodin Handbook. The Rodin handbook has the aim to minimize the access to an expert, by providing the necessary assistance to an engineer in the need to be productive using Event-B and the Rodin toolset.
