Archi version 4.2 has been released!
In addition to some fixes and small features we’ve added support for 2x icons and images so that those of you with high resolution screens will get a better UI experience.
Also, we’ve greatly improved the Archi Command Line Interface (ACLI). This has become a powerful tool for those who which to automate some Archi processes, such as getting the latest model changes from the Collaboration Plug-in and then perhaps generating reports, or exporting CSV files.
