release_9.2.1

Feature Enhancements

Common-Canvas

• #12 The context menu Paste option now pastes objects from the clipboard at the mouse pointer position where the context menu was requested.

• #357 Four new API methods have been added to Canvas Controller:

  getNodeInputPorts(nodeId, pipelineId)
  getNodeOutputPorts(nodeId, pipelineId)
  
  setNodeInputPorts(nodeId, inputs, pipelineId)
  setNodeOutputPorts(nodeId, outputs, pipelineId)

  The second two can be used to add new ports to the node; they will cause the canvas to refresh to reflect the ports specified.
  See the canvas controller API documentation for more details.

• Warning: In this release the internal structure of canvas objects in the DOM has changed. Nodes, Links and Comments are now inside their own group (<g>) element. This means, if you have any tests that use selectors to identify objects (nodes, comments, links) like this:

  svg > g > g[data-id=123]
  

  the selector would now be:

  svg > g > g > g[data-id=123] 
  

Common-Properties

• #255 Nested complex structures are now supported in common-properties. Complex structures that can be nested includes: structuretables, structurelisteditors, structureeditor and list controls. Examples are added to the test harness https://github.com/elyra-ai/canvas/tree/master/canvas_modules/harness/test_resources/parameterDefs
