News and latest updates about the sinelabore model to code generator on Sinelabore Homepage

New version 7.1

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Update for SysML v2. This version improves code generation and adds support for more SysML v2 features. For example, actions are now treated as first-class SysML v2 features and represented as structs in the generated code instead of methods. Check out the GitHub examples for details.

New version 7.0

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

SysML v2 is here and marks a major leap forward in systems modeling. Version 7.0 supports generation of CPPX code from a SysML v2 textual model. With a small framework, the generated parts and state machine code can be executed and tested easily.

SysML v2.0 - First Experiments

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

We explored the current status of SysML v2. Read more in this article: /docs/symlv2/.

New version 6.5.1

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In addition to several improvements, support for additional command-line parameters when using -l cppx was added. You can now optionally specify -std to enable all necessary parameters for language features in version 11 or 14, which simplifies configuration for new users.

New version 6.5.2

Sat, 01 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This version is recommended for all users. Core modules were refactored for better maintainability and consistency, test coverage was improved, and CPPX code generation was updated to avoid unnecessary dynamic memory allocations.

New version 6.4

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Since version 6.4, history state handling has changed. Transitions can now end in a history state, and only then the previous history is considered when entering the state set; otherwise, the default entry chain is used. The new TransitionsCanEndInHistoryStates parameter enables this feature.

New version 6.3.4

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This release adds another way to influence the signature of the processEvent() method in C++.

New version 6.3.3

Sat, 01 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This version includes small updates for the Python backend and fixes an issue in the C# backend.

New version 6.3.2

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A state machine with regions can be in more than one state at a time. Previously, getInnermostActiveState() returned only the topmost active state. With this release, selected backends can return multiple active states to better reflect runtime behavior.

JS backend improvements: IsIn() and getInnermostActiveStates() now work with regions.
C++11 backend improvements: IsIn() and getInnermostActiveStates() now work with regions (C++11 only).

In C++11, the generated function has this signature:

auto oven::getInnermostActiveStates() const -> std::forward_list<oven::States>{
  std::forward_list<oven::States> stateList;
  ...
  return stateList;
}

New version 6.3.2.1

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Bugfix in the C++ backend relevant for users with state machines that have regions and do not want event handler parameters. In the previous version, a msg parameter was incorrectly generated for the region handler code. This is now corrected.

New version 6.3

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

JavaScript is now supported as a new target language for the code generator.
