Highlights:* #542678 - Improve the degree of customization of the bundle image provided shape extension point to be compatible with more SVG tags. * #542805 - Remove the `org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.layoutdata` plug-in. It was deprecated and already been replaced in previous versions by the more powerful `org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.formatdata`. * #538853 - Reduce the amount of custom code in the diagrams metamodel. This brings the `diagram.ecore` metamodel closer to a "pure" EMF model, with no custom "hidden" behavior or code dependencies.
* #543177 - Allow vertical spaces removal for sequence diagram. * #543252 - Have show/hide actions available in visibility mode.* More uses of our own `Option` type have been converted to use the standard `java.util.Optional`. The effort is far from finished and will probably continue over several versions (see [\#529526](http://eclip.se/529526)). * Various improvements on the GraphQL backend ([#540871](http://eclip.se/540871), [541348](http://eclip.se/541348), [541389](http://eclip.se/541389)) * Several improvements have been made to the `IInterepter` API as part of [\#542839](http://eclip.se/542839). This effort is still ongoing but the patches which have been merged in 6.2.0 include some API breaks. Refer to the release notes for the details.
The release notes and the full documentation will soon be published at https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/Release_Notes.html.
