The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

[Unreleased]

[0.9.0] - 2026-05-08

Added

  • Inheritance split and cast — CASE $var IS Module.SubType THEN ... END CASE and CAST $var AS Module.SubType statements in microflow/nanoflow bodies; full BSON roundtrip with branch anchors, nested continuation cases, and merge emission (CE0079)
  • CREATE OR MODIFY — Standardised OR MODIFY variant across all remaining document types so scripts are idempotent by default (#510)
  • MDL-DUPDEF — mxcli check detects duplicate CREATE for the same qualified name and reports MDL-DUPDEF

Fixed

  • Catalog crash on duplicate business event channels (#533)
  • flowRefCollector skipping EnumSplitStmt case and else bodies — impacted show callers/callees accuracy
  • CE0079: inheritance split branches that continue after the split were missing their merge node
  • Nested traverseFlowUntilMerge guard could cross an outer merge boundary (#528)
  • Inheritance split: branch anchors, case order, nested continuation tails, and nodes outside cases all preserved
  • List-typed Java action arguments not emitting the empty keyword (#521); broadened to cover all resolved BasicParameterType params
  • REST mapping cardinality not roundtripping — as list of syntax now parsed and emitted (#519)
  • Import mapping: MinOccurs/MaxOccurs not parsed on mapping elements; repeating Object root treated as list; SingleObject inferred when JsonStructure absent
  • Microflow layout: spacing, branch heights, and loop containment improved
  • TEXTFILTER inside DATAGRID COLUMN not wired to the column filter slot (#189)
  • SET $obj/Assoc path target rejected and produced wrong BSON (#511)
  • SHOW WIDGETS WHERE … LIKE silently degraded to equality match
  • Reserved OData attribute names not renamed when importing entities (#526)
  • Virtual System.* Java actions missing from ListJavaActions and catalog
  • ConcurrencyMode=Fixed incorrectly marked as Creatable during OData import (#525)
  • Reverse-Reference traversal through entity inheritance misclassified
  • mxcli check --references reporting false positives on System.* references (#523)
  • ANTLR4 version unpinned in CI caused flaky Maven Central lookup failures

Changed

  • Generated ANTLR parser removed from git; make grammar step added to CI (#514)
  • MDLParser.g4 split into domain-specific grammar files for maintainability (#515)

[0.8.0] - 2026-05-05

Added

  • CALL JAVASCRIPT ACTION — call javascript action Module.ActionName(params) fully supported in CREATE NANOFLOW/MICROFLOW bodies: grammar, parser, builder, serializer, and roundtrip

  • VS Code extension — LSP coverage extended to all document types (nanoflows, workflows, Java actions, JSON structures, import/export mappings)
