Hi Christopher,
Thanks for testing.

Starting fresh:
rm -rf ~/KeplerData ~/.kepler;
mkdir kepler.modules.2.1;
svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/module/build-area
;
cd build-area;
ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler-2.1;
ant clean-all run;
The splash images will show 2.1.0.
To change from the svn checkout of kepler 2.1 to the test published
version of 2.1.0, use the Module Manager in the GUI to download and
restart into kepler-2.1.0.
Note that 2.1 currently relies on a mix of 2.1 and 2.0 modules (and
the published 2.1.0 on a mix of 2.1.0 and 2.0.0). We've decided to not
republish as 2.1 those 2.0 modules that have not changed.

You can't through the gui, unless you set true that configuration.xml
parameter I added for you.
How were you saving models from the command line? I would hope
whatever method you were using would still work. I just removed the
File menu options for the old Save and Save As, it seems wrong if code
running in headless was invoking those gui menu items.

Yes, this is a major limitation of the current system, we don't have a
KAR manager that provides mappings between windows and kars, so
there's currently no Save function, only Save As...
2.0 has this same limitation with regards KARs, it was just less in
your face since the old Save and Save As options for xml were the
defaults, so in discussing with others we thought we could release 2.1
with this limitation.

A KAR is just a container for (a) models, so while it can be
confusing, it should be ok for the user to make the choice of having
the KAR named differently.
Even more confusing imo is that MoML stores the name of the model in
the model, so if the filename.xml is ever changed, the model name
shown in the gui window differs. I discussed this in more detail in a
bug somewhere, but I can't find it atm.

Yes this button does nothing for me as well. Shawn or Sean, was this
ever implemented? It would be better to not have the button if not.

Again, this is because we lack a KAR manager, so we don't know that
this thing you're saving was previously saved to a KAR.

I agree this is annoying, this is because your model still lacks a
semantic type. The system should probably offer an explicit "no", and
keep track of that so you're not prompted again.
Personally I don't think we should prompt for Semantic Annotation
during saves, as it probably confuses/slows down a new user, and it
slows down an advanced user.
You can do this from the canvas context menu.

There was never a Save for KARs. The current Save As used to be called
Save Archive, but it did the same thing (i.e. it did a Save As for a
KAR).

You mean the Local links for the different docs? Yeah they don't work
for me either. I'm not familiar with how those links are created, but
I can look into it. They are the same but work in 2.0.0.

I'm planning on using the same version of ptolemy for kepler-2.1.0
that kepler-2.0.0 used, ptolemy-8.0.0, which I believe is r58234.

The 2.1 branches are based on the 2.0 branches (there really isn't a
single branch for each, it's on a per module basis).
We decided 2.1 would be a special case, and that in the future we'll
be cutting releases (2.2, 2.3...) from trunk.

I'm not seeing this on 2.1 or trunk. Can you try again from the 2.1
branch?
