• MooseAlgos: Improved generic algorithms for graph and data
manipulation

• Improved Mondrian engine for scripting graph-based visualizations
• Arki: a framework for fast creation of custom reports
Improved user interface:

visualizations and query facilities
• Moose meta-model browser
• Wizard-based importers for Smalltalk and Java (with inFusion)
• Customizable System Complexity visualization
• Customizable Distribution Map visualization
• Several dedicated browsers and viualizations
Better technical infrastructure:

FUTURE PLANS
An incomplete set of future actions:
• Trait-based FAMIX metamodel for better conceptual clarity and more
reuse
• Better layered architecture nearing Pharo core: the goal is to ease
the path from a Moose prototype to a stand-alone tool for Pharo.
• Improved FAMIX query API
• Improved Glamour engine
• Improved Mondrian engine
• EyeSee engine for drawing charts
• Better browsers for various analyses use cases
• Parsers for various languages
• Tests reorganization
• <your project as a default tool in Moose Suite> ;)
Have fun,
The Moose Team
