New File Exchange Format for Server Projects (Technology Preview)
Until now, .mdzip files were used for swapping projects in disconnected environments; however, this format is not ideal as there are issues with slow performance and project structural changes. We wanted to solve both problems to ensure faster project export and import while retaining the same project structure. Therefore, we present a technology preview of a new file exchange format: .szip. This format can be used for project export with or without used projects, adding a project as a new server project, and updating a project from a local project. We encourage our users to try out this format, which allows faster model transfer. Do not hesitate to share your feedback with us!
Teamwork Cloud Data Markings in MagicDraw
Teamwork Cloud data markings are now shown in Open Server Project / Manage Project and Use Server Project dialogs in MagicDraw. Additionally, a check is performed to ensure that users are not trying to open or use a project with a higher access level than they are assigned, in which case a notification is displayed.

Enhanced Set as Latest Functionality
The Set as Latest functionality was updated and now allows users to set a specific version as the latest in another branch. Therefore, it is now possible to quickly set a particular version of the branch to be the latest in the trunk without time-consuming merging processes.
New Select Branch... option of the Set as Latest functionality.
Pre-merge Check of Project Permissions
We introduced the ability to check permissions before merging to avoid project merge delays due to delays in the delivery of error messages about insufficient permissions. The Check Permissions button is now available in the Merge Projects dialog, allowing users to see if the merge will be possible.

Recursive Global Element Usage Search
Previously, it was only possible to search for element usages individually, which is not an optimal solution in many cases. With 2022x Refresh2, we are introducing the Used By in Server Recursively option for the Search in Server action. Used By in Server Recursively works similarly to Used by in Server, except it searches for usages of the selected element and all its child elements.

Other fixes/improvements
Relations (including connectors) are now represented in more detail in the conflicting changes tree of the Conflicting Changes panel.
- Remove, keep References operation has been improved to work faster.

Standard Profiles Migration
To successfully migrate from 2022x Refresh1 to 2022x Refresh2, Power’By users need to upgrade their standard profiles. To help them accomplish this, we have provided a dedicated filter that allows users to select standard profiles and migrate them in bulk.

Cutting References If a Used Project Is Not Found
If users try to open a main project and its used project or projects are not found, it is possible to remove the used project or projects and cut all references. This way, users can still work on the main project.
Upcoming Updates
Important updates coming with the next major version release:
- OpenJDK version change. Desktop applications (MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, Magic Software Architect, Magic Cyber Systems Engineer, Magic Systems of Systems Architect) and Teamwork Cloud will only run using OpenJDK 17.0.7+7 version.
- JavaScript Nashorn scripting removal. The JavaScript Nashorn language usage is deprecated with the intention of removing it from the next major version. Please use JavaScript Rhino instead. Learn more about the deprecated JavaScript Nashorn >>
- Record Macro functionality discontinuation. The Record Macro functionality will be discontinued in the next major version release.
