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.
Beginning with this version, the UAF 1.2 Plugin is available for use in production. The UAF 1.2 Profile is fully supported in UAF, UAF Enterprise Architect, DoDAF, DoDAF 2.0, MODAF, NAF, and NAF 4.0 frameworks. The following migration will be necessary:
IMPORTANT! The UAF 1.1 Plugin is no longer available.

In this version, 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. The mapping of ArchiMate 3.1 to UAF 1.2 approach is based on the NATO Architecture Framework. Learn more >>
