== New and Noteworthy - EMF-IncQuery 0.8.0 ==

=== Updated project structure ===

The generated pattern matcher code has been greatly updated, making the code base more future proof. However, these changes require some updates of existing code. For details, see [[EMFIncQuery/Releases/MigrateTo0.8|migration guide]].

The most important new features supported by this new version are described here.

==== Eclipse-less query execution ====
* Documentation and testing needed
* Maven builder for EMF-IncQuery projects

==== New language feature: expression evaluation ====
The 'eval' keyword of the language allows the definition variables with the values of expressions.

==== Xtext compatibility ====
The code base is compatible with both 2.5 and 2.6. Currently, only 2.6-compatible builds are created.

=== IncQuery Viewers ===

The Viewers Sandbox view has been extended
* with configurable pattern list, and
* the capability to open multiple viewers concurrently

=== Query-based features ===

Setting delegate based implementation is used by default with annotations generated into the Ecore model.
* See [[EMFIncQuery/UserDocumentation/Query_Based_Features|documentation]] for details.
* The legacy code generator is still available by setting the ''generateIntoModelCode'' annotation parameter, but not recommended!
