Sirius 6.1 should be released (along with a corresponding Obeo Designer CE) right before EclipseCon Europe 2018. This version is mostly about stabilisation of previous work with some nice new features as an extra bonus! We couldn't resist in sharing what's new before ECon EU. Discover them in this series of posts (see also part 1 and part 3), and come see us at EclipseCon to learn about the present and future of Sirius.
With Sirius 6.1, the specifier has more control on the actions contributed to the diagram's contextual menus. Until Sirius 6.0, all these actions were always added at the end of the contextual menu in the same group:
Since Sirius 6.1, the specifier can organize his/her actions by group, and choose in which (sub-)menu to add these groups: an existing one or a new one.

or even allow power users to select elements using an arbitrary AQL expression:
We know there are some limitations or other improvements are possible but the mechanisms already enable interesting new use cases and we are eager for feedback to drive further improvements.
