The Altium NEXUS Server 1.1 release sees beneficial enhancements to the functionality for a managed project, in the Server's browser interface. The following changes have been made to the detailed view for a managed project - accessed through the Projects page of the interface by clicking on a project's name, or the open control (
):
- Structure tab - removed, with functionality migrated to the Details sub-tab, when viewing a specific release of the project.
- Parameters tab - enhanced to provide a listing of parameters that have been defined at the project level, either within Altium NEXUS (through the Parameters tab of the Project Options dialog), or through the Server (not currently available).
- Releases tab - enhanced to present every release of the project, with the latest release at the top of the list. Each entry on the left shows a snapshot of the date/time of release, along with what packages are included in the release. Use the Search field to quickly find a specific release (very useful if you have released the project many times).
As you click on a release entry on the left, the following sub-tabs on the right populate with information for that release:
