Hi there,
I am Mit, the product owner of Astah.
Thank you for using Astah.
We are planning to release the next version of Astah on September 26, 2018.
I introduce the main contents about it to you.
First, we will release a new edition “Viewer” for license free. As its name suggests this is a viewer. You can browse and search diagrams and models. Note that printing and API/plug-ins can not be used with it.
Next, we will support floating licenses. Within license count, multiple unspecified users can use simultaneously. We will be on sale from 1 license.
Then, for professional and UML, we will do the following enhancement.
- Improvement of operability
- Easy to resize elements
- Easy to change connected lines
- Easy to move overlapping elements
- Draw suggest button does not interfere with editing elements
- Easy to push a draw suggest button
- Container elements, such as a package and state, can be selected when clicking on a position that does not hit the child
- Self-association and self-transition can be made in any direction
- In the activity diagram, the state machine diagram, and the flowchart, elements can be inserted between the connected elements
- Wrap message of sequence diagram and communication diagram
- Enter line break in use case
- When foreign key of ER diagram is selected, highlighting relation lines and attributes between corresponding entities
- Toggle display of notes
- Performance improvement of state machine diagram

Other improvements and bug fixes are also made.
