History
In September 2010, its developer Bruno Pagès announced that he was ceasing work on BOUML other than bug fixes due to "copyright violations and mismanagement from wikipedia administrators".[2][3]
The version 4.23 named "ultimate" was distributed in November 2010,[4] after which it was announced that no more updates would be released.[2] However, several patches were released after the announcement, the last being BOUML 4.23 ultimate patch 7 in October 2011.[4]
In February 2012, version 5 was released as the first paid-for version. It has a new file format, but is backwards compatible in that version 5 can read project files saved by the old versions.[5]
In August 2012, version 6 was released as the first version managing MySQL. Being backwards compatible in that version 6 can read project files saved by the old versions.
