This release note does not "release for production", as it does not come with a safety
argumentation and a performed safety assessment.
The work products compiled in the safety package are created with care according to a
process satisfying standards, but the project, being a non-profit and open source
organization, can not take over any liability for its content.
Changes to the Module
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
New Features
Building blocks meta model is reworked.
(https://eclipse-score.github.io/process_description/main/index.html).
Contains now Features, Components as own elements, adapt linkage names, e.g.
Requirements are now "derived_from" parent requirements, correct some linkages between
elements
Module Templates removed from Folder Templates and
(https://eclipse-score.github.io/process_description/main/folder_templates/index.html)
moved now to module_templates folder
(https://eclipse-score.github.io/module_template/main/)
Implementation is now defined.
Now versioning of sphinx-needs elements is introduced. Thus this version is the first
baseline of the process_description.
The process model contains
- General concepts e.g. for Building Blocks and their traceability
- Process meta model for proper modeling
- Process areas covering the required standards
- Roles, Work Products, Workflows defining the process areas
- Standard overview and coverage information
- Folder templates for simplifying deployment for users
