+25- Supporter
Also a short "Whats new" on each Reader/Writer/Transformer would be nice, but might be messy to keep a record of? For instance the FeatureMerger have the following versions. This would highlight any important changes or you would know if it will behave differently. This is especially useful if for instance the SpatialRelator/SpatialFilter now works with arcs and did not work with arcs before etc, as this will change the ports the feature go through.:
FeatureMerger
7: Faster on 64bit
6: Bugfix of join
5: Fixed naming and ports
4. Added outputattributes
+59- Safer
In FME2016 for transformers - including the idea of a Whats New page for each item.
Not yet for Readers/Writers.
