New Features

SummaryDetails
UI - Welcome Page - Imaging AdvisorImaging Advisor (available in the Welcome page) provides information about the status of your application with regard to a migration to a cloud provider such as AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure and GCP (Google Cloud Platform), e.g. the level of "cloud readiness" of your application (note: limited to applications containing Mainframe code). See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+Imaging+Advisor.
UI - Config Center - Manage Application Level-5 nodesA new feature called "Config Center" has been added (available only to users with the role admin/ architect) which provides a means to hide nodes available in level 5. For example, you can hide the nodes that you are not interested in, or isolated nodes which do not provide any value. In the Config Center, tenants and associated applications are available for selection - and then the corresponding level-5 nodes of the selected application are listed and can be shown/hidden individually or in group/s. After performing the action (hide) the nodes will not be visible in the view for all the users and the same reflects in levels 1 to 4. See: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Config+Center.
UI - Legend panel - Insights tabA new tab called "Insights" has been added to the Legends panel allowing users to view an object's critical violations, vulnerabilities, flaws, etc. By selecting a specific type of flaw/vulnerability, the objects in the view that have the same type of flaw/vulnerability are highlighted. Selecting the highlighted objects will display the details about the specific flaw/vulnerability in the object. To view the insights data specific pre-requisites exist, for details refer the following document: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Legend+panel#UserGuideGUILegendpanel-Insights.
UI - Investigate menu - Tabular viewIn Investigate view > Graph Options, users can now switch to a tabular view to show the contents of the current view in table format. The table will display the following information: object name, type, children count and external type. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Investigate+panel#UserGuideGUIInvestigatepanel-layoutLayoutoptions.
UI - Display of the source code in a pop-up window - New iconA new icon is added in source code viewer tab to allow users to view source code in a new pop-up window. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Viewing+source+code
UI - Admin page - Sourcecode datasourceUsers (Admin/Super admin) are now allowed to add a new datasource, and also view and edit them from the admin page. The option is found in admin page "Applications tile". See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+Configuring+data+source
UI - Welcome Page - Third Party Components upgradeThird party components upgrade tile, now available in Welcome page, helps you modernize your application based on Highlight to MRI. It gives users an insights on third party external libraries along with other details. It further allows user to investigate the associated internal objects with the packages. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+Modernizing+Applications.

Feature Improvements

SummaryDetails
UI - AnnotationsThe "Document" feature (which allows the user to add notes to the selected view or nodes/objects) has been renamed as "Annotations". All existing references in the UI to "Document" have been changed to "Annotations". See: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Annotate+feature.
UI - Maintain zoom level stateThe zoom level set by users in the view is now maintained and reflected in the "vignette" as well as the main view on drilling down and closing the objects/sub-objects view. Previously, the zoom state was not maintained, which meant on returning to the main view after investigating an object, the view needed to be manually set again.
UI - Highlight Caller, Callee and PathThe existing options available on the view called Show Callees and Show Path have been renamed to Highlight Callee and Highlight Path and moved into the right click contextual menu. In addition a new option called Highlight Caller has been implemented and added in the contextual menu with the other two options. These three options are enabled on all scopes and levels in Imaging. See: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Menus+and+Icons#UserGuideGUIMenusandIcons-Toprightcorner and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Highlight+options.
UI - Icon/Badge for AnnotationsAn icon/badge is now displayed on objects/nodes to indicate that they have an associated annotation. See: https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Annotate+feature.
UI - Internal object search improvementCustom aggregation search has been improved, now you can search for multiple objects at once. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Creating+a+custom+aggregation+mode#UserGuideCreatingacustomaggregationmode-Searchinganinternalobject.
UI - Pop-up "toaster" messagesPop-up "toaster" messages are now displayed in the top center of the screen to improve visibility. Previously these pop-up messages were displayed in the bottom right corner.
UI - Node Selection ColorThe selection, hover and highlight colors of nodes have been changed from red to blue.
UI - Welcome page - Version DateVersion date has been added to the "Application Info" section of the Welcome Page. For applications without version date, "-" is displayed.
UI - Reverse Selection in Graphical view - ALT+RA shortcut ALT+R can now be used for reverse selection in graphical view. On pressing ALT+R the selected nodes would get unselected whereas the remaining nodes would get selected on the canvas. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Keyboard+shortcut+keys
