What’s New in CAST Imaging 3.4.0-funcrel

Features:

  • Architectural Monitoring – Compare & History 
    Compare and History features are now available in Levels 1–5 and Custom Aggregations, enabling users to track architectural-level changes over time.
  • Violation Bookmarks for Insights
    Investigation for Green Deficiencies, Cloud Maturity, and Structural flaws now supports per-object analysis with violation bookmarks displayed in the source code panel.
  • AI Functional Report Export
    Generate an AI-based application summary as a Word document to quickly understand the application structure and content.

Deployment & Installation: 

  • Read-only Dashboards and Viewer Deployment
    Deploy CAST Imaging in read-only mode (Windows/Linux via Docker) without the analysis node component, allowing users to consult results in CAST Dashboards (MD/ED/SD) or viewer graph results.
  • Offline Docker Installation: Run the Linux via Docker installer in "offline mode" for installation of CAST Imaging in secure environments without internet connections.
  • Improved Docker Startup: Ensures containers start in the expected order after machine reboot, preventing dependency delays.

  • View Leaves in Transactions: Identify incomplete call graph breaks with the new “View leaves” option; filter with “Hide full graph leaves.”
  • Table Details in Characteristics Panel: Columns now display FK, PK, UQ, and index details.
  • Third-Party License Information: License compliance status is now shown for third-party components.
  • Link Drill-Down Grouping: Drilling down on links across Aggregated by scopes now follows a two-tier grouping: first by object type (such as Java Method), then by parent (module, service, project, or model).
  • Simplified Graph Layout Options: Layout is now managed directly in the view with scope-based persistence.
  • Custom Graph Layout for Selected Nodes: Apply layout changes to selected objects only for better visual customization.
  • Renamed Predefined Views: Level 4 “Frameworks” renamed to “Programming Technologies”; Level 5 “Technologies” to “Technology Object Types.”
