1. Introduction

The KlassModeler is a tool for visually creating and documenting classes. It is not unlike other UML design tools except for four major differences: Anyway, I hope someone out there finds this thing useful. Please feel free to change the code and add whatever you like. If you do that please send me the changes so I can integrate them into future releases. Also if you have any suggestions on how it could be more usefull let me know.

1.1 Changes

Check out the ChangeLog file that comes with the distribution. I'll paste in here now, but that file has a better chance of being up to date then the docs:
8/15/2003: v0.8.1 (the Anatoli update):
 - fixed some very evil bugs in header reading.
 - added support for const functions.
 - Added Has-a and Uses-a relations between classes.
 - Added support for enums.
 - You can now exclude classes from full model generation.
 - You can generate a new class from the clipboard
4/30/2003: v0.8.0:
 - rewritten using wxWindows.
 - runs in MS Windows and Linux (and maybe others, who knows?)
 - is now a parentless MDI application.
 - includes a tree view of classes.
 - Generated headers are saved relative to the KlassModeler file
 - It will create the directory structure for the generated headers and docs.
 - a little more user feedback to make it a little friendlier at times.
3/2/2003: v0.7.2
 - works with gcc 3.2.  Thanks to Martin Imobersteg for sending me the fix.
10/24/2002: v0.7.1
 - Added support for scope operator in header reading, ie CSomeClass::MyType m_MyVariable;
   Thanks to Joonas Paalasmaa for finding the bug
09/15/2002: v0.7
 - added support for Qt types like Q_OBJECT, signals, and slots.
 - added inline code that gets written directly into the header file.
 - improved inheritence handling.  You can inherit from classes that
   aren't in your project.
 - vastly improved reading of header files.  Handles the new Qt types and
   inheritence.  Also just does a much better job of getting it right and 
   not hanging.
 - Can now read or write multiple classes per header file.
 - vastly improved HTML doc support.  It generates a very cool HTML output,
   including a picture of itself.
04/29/2002: v0.6 
 - when moving methods, variables, or args in the dialog boxes, the focus will stay on what you're
   working with, and the list will stay in the right place.
 - added an over agressive IsModified flag, so it will ask you if you want to save changes
   before closing
 - Made a better attempt to tell you when it has trouble generating code
 - Quadrupled the canvas area (I kept running out of room)
 - put the file extension (*.kml) filter in open and save dialogs.
 - queries before allowing you to overwrite a file
 - printing added.  Let's call it experimental at the moment.  Thanks to Norbert Andres for the
   suggestion.
 - pretty crude output to HTML for documentation purposes.  Thanks to Norbert Andres for the idea.
 - read in header files.  Extremely experimental, may hang, use at own risk, etc etc.  Thanks
   to Norbert Andres for the suggestion.
04/17/2002: v0.5
 - Got it to compile under Qt 3.0 (which for some reason was really annoying)
 - Fixed the sizing of the Class box so it wouldn't get so huge
02/10/2002: v0.4
 - If you don't specify a name for your header file it defaults to the name of the class.h in
   all lowercase (Thanks to Martin Imobersteg for the idea)
 - Added support for pure virtual functions
12/18/2001: v0.3
 - fixed zooming so it works.
12/15/2001: v0.2
 - Added zooming
 - Changed how the classes look, including adding member access colours
 - made it so you can see the classes when you move them.
12/14/2001: Version 0.1 released
