Implementation of support for the UML 2.1.1 metamodel started last summer as part of the 2007 Google Summer of Code. The implementation is based on the Eclipse UML2 plugin (which we use standalone). We've got some of the basic functionality of the Class and Use Case diagrams working, but it's far from complete. As we did with the UML 1.3 to UML 1.4 transition, the work will basically happen in two phases. First, the existing ArgoUML functionality will be implemented using the UML 2.1 metamodel, then the additional functionality of UML 2.x will be implemented. Of course, it's not quite as straightforward as that because the OMG makes each version of incompatible with the previous and since they worked on UML 2.x for many years before releasing it, they've made it *really* incompatible with UML 1.x. We'll have to see as we get further into it how successful we can be in abstracting out the user visible functionality. Are there specific parts of UML 2.x that you are interested in? Knowing what functionality people want will help prioritize the work. (Yes, all that is a long way of saying "still no date").
