UAF 1.2 Plugin

Released on: July 1, 2022


In the 2022x release, we continued implementing the UAF 1.2 standard changes, making the UAF 1.2 Profile fully supported in UAF, UAF Enterprise Architect, DoDAF, DoDAF 2.0, MODAF, NAF, and NAF 4.0 frameworks. Therefore UAF 1.1 is no longer supported. Moreover, New DISR and UJTL library versions are now available. Finally, we continued developing the import of the ArchiMate model from the open exchange file into the UAF project. The imported element mapping is still only partial but adapted to the UAF 1.2 profile.
