We are delighted to announce Dezyne-IDE 2.14.

This release introduces implicit interface illegals: Specifying illegal in an interface is now optional, similar to components.

Dezyne now also has implicit temporary variables: a single valued action or call can now be used in if and reply expressions.

Simplified (filtered) state diagrams can now be generated by using the new --hide and --remove options on ide state.

In the state view, selecting a node highlights all directly reachable nodes, improving the navigation of large models. Pressing . highlights the initial state.

In the trace view, the beginning of a livelock error is now marked with <loop>.

The Dezyne core is now released as free and open source software, see dezyne.org.

We will evaluate your reports and track them via the Gitlab dezyne-issues project, see our guide to writing helpful bug reports.

What's next?

Full blocking support and verification with system scope. Introducing a new keyword defer for asynchronous behavior and deprecation of async.

Future

Looking beyond the next releases we will introduce implicit interface constraints. Hierarchical behaviors, module-specifications and data-interfaces. Support for Model Based Testing.

Enjoy!
The Verum Team.

NEWS

Changes in 2.14.0 since 2.13.3

• Views

  • In the trace view, the beginning of a livelock error is now marked with "<loop>" (#44).
  • In the state view, selecting a node highlights all directly reachable nodes, improving the navigation of large models. Pressing . highlights the initial state.
  • Pressing F1 in the views shows a brief help popup with the mapping of keys and buttons.

• Commands

  • The ide state command now supports hiding of unwanted detail. The new options -R,--remove=... and -H,--hide=... can be used to filter-out port state or extended state from the nodes, action transition labels or even all transition labels (#29).

• Noteworthy bug fixes

  • A failure to stop the daemon using ide bye is now handled gracefully.

About Dezyne-IDE

The Dezyne-IDE is a commercial product by verum.com, created especially for the demanding, or the professional Dezyne developer. The Dezyne-IDE is built around the FLOSS command-line version of Dezyne: While the Dezyne-IDE is a must for any productive developer, it is "only" a convenience; because all core dezyne tools are free and open source software, there is never any chance of vendor lock-in. Also, by buying the Dezyne-IDE, you get support on Dezyne and are sponsoring the development of the Dezyne command-line tools.

About Dezyne

Dezyne is a programming language and a set of tools to specify, validate, verify, simulate, document, and implement concurrent control software for embedded and cyber-physical systems.

The Dezyne language has formal semantics expressed in mCRL2 developed at the department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE). Dezyne requires that every model is finite, deterministic and free of deadlocks, livelocks, and contract violations. This is achieved by means of the language itself as well as builtin verification through model checking. This allows the construction of complex systems by assembling independently verified components.

Dezyne is free software, it is distributed under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public Licence version 3 or later.

About Verum

verum.com, the organization behind the Dezyne language, is committed to continuing to invest in the language for the benefit of all its users. Verum assists its customers and partners in solving the software challenges of today and tomorrow, by offering expert consultancy on the application of the Dezyne language and the development and use of its tools, as well as on Verum's commercial tools like IDE support based on the LSP (Language Server Protocol), interactive integrated graphics, interactive simulation, (custom) code generation and (custom) runtime library support.
