This release primarily focuses on bug fixes and stability improvements, and also adds support for the latest Eclipse platform.
Please note: Due to Apple security restrictions and enhanced App Translocation, upgrading is not supported if the application is executed directly from its original download location. This issue is resolved by distributing the macOS version as a disk image installer.
- The downloadable application is now built on the latest Eclipse 2026-03 target platform.
- The standalone macOS product is now distributed as a disk image (DMG), ensuring proper installation and upgrade behavior.
- The UML transformation context is now only visible when the selected context is a transformable Eclipse UML model.
- The UML transformation now supports all property visibility levels, named interfaces, as well as opaque actions and behaviors.
- The C++ trace observer now correctly uses smart pointers when this feature is enabled.
- The SCTUnit code generator for C-based languages (C, C++98, C++11) now correctly uses ‘sc_types’ instead of non-compilable base types.
- The C++ code generator now applies default member initialization for all statemachine members, improving safety and consistency.
- Image generator can now be used headless via scc on command line and in build environments.
- Improved performance of statechart validation.
*Fixed an issue where variable renaming removed associated variable annotations.
*Fixed sporadic ConcurrentModificationExceptions during statechart editing.
itemis CREATE 5.6.1 features can be installed into Eclipse products based on Eclipse 2023-12 to 2026-03. The minimal required Java version is Java 17. The downloadable application bundles Java 25.
