Enhanced sequence diagrams and template language

New version allows you to add sequence messages in sequence diagrams as references to class operations. You can edit the message "inline" when you edit a diagram, or you can set it from the Properties dialog.

From this version, Software Ideas Modeler can generate source code (C#, JavaScript) for State machine diagram based on State design pattern. You can adjust the name of Context class and BaseState when you define the tagged values for your State Machine diagram. e.g. Context=MyContext, BaseState=MyState.

Now the template language has a lot of new commands, which add new possibilities.
