New & Noteworthy for IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next 7.1 M7

Following are the enhancements to the REST APIs:
•    Create an historical baseline of stream. A new option Create Baseline is provided that allows you to create a historical baseline of a stream for a specific historical timestamp. The baseline of a stream created at an earlier is referred as historical baseline. The resulting baseline is not different from another baseline.
•    Allow HTTP clients to retrieve content of the delivered and undelivered changesets. The changes retrieved are same as the changes displayed in the Changed Resources tab in the Changeset editor screen. The retrieved data includes resources that are added or deleted and provides concept and version URIs.
•    Retrieve a list of baselines for a given stream by introducing a new public OSLC configuration query capability. This capability allows HTTP clients to retrieve a list of baselines for a given stream.
Note: This API only retrieves baselines that are not archived from a stream.
•    Provide information about an artifact such as when it was created, modified, or deleted by a specific user within a given period.

Added a filter to an existing REST API that retrieves history of an artifact to allow the API to retrieve history of an artifact within a given period.

Now, the new com.ibm.rdm.fronting.web.artifactSidebarDefaultWidth advanced property for RM servers can be used to set the width of the artifact sidebar in the Artifact editor. Users can set the percentage of the artifact sidebar width to the overall window width.
The default value is 20 percent. Users can still manually adjust the width.

The Create Baseline operation now provides the option to create a historical baseline of a  stream. This option allows you to select a date and time in the past to capture the state of the artifacts at that point in time. The baseline that is created is referred as historical baseline and is similar to any other baselines.
