Hi all
A new Beta5 of kermeta 2 is available.

this is mostly an improvement on BETA4 in many points to support a wider variety of kermeta programs.

It fixes many bugs and introduces several features :
List of changes since the beta4 : http://bugzilla.inria.fr/buglist.cgi?chfieldto=2012%2F04%2F17&query_format=advanced&chfieldfrom=2012%2F02%2F28&bug_status=RESOLVED&product=Kermeta2

To install it :
- from eclipse (modelling recommanded but not mandatory)
- install EMFText using the following update site : http://www.emftext.org/update (SDK required otherwise you'll get error about stringtemplate )
- then install kermeta 2 using the following update site : http://www.kermeta.org/integration_build/kermeta2/update/

The next step will focus on :
- provide more examples and benchmarks
- improve automatic builder speed (try to make it more incremental despite the aspect orientation of the language)
- add/improve user assistance (documentation, outline, completion)
- complement the framework if there are any lack in it
- continue modeltype design and implementation

There is a small doc about the kp format (kermeta 2 project definition): http://www.kermeta.org/documents/dev/kermeta2/language_specification/kp

best regards
