Release 25.01

[KonradHoeffner]

This is still blocked by open issues in the 24.12 milestone.
If we want to get it out on time we need to do it this week, because next week is Christmas.

Manual Tests

• clone a fresh copy of SNIK Graph into a temporary folder, see code preparations above
• run it in different browsers
• the most important test: it needs to load without errors. Make sure to open the console groups. npm run dev may fail to load the submenu indicator image but that should work with npm run build && npm run preview.
• clear the cache and local storage and try to load again (press F5)
• open a new tab
• copy some nodes in the main tab
• paste them in the new tab
• go back to the main tab
• test all the filters (by turning them on and off, some subontology filters like meta may have no effect if they aren't set to load in the config)
• hide inter-ontology relations
• press recalculate layout
• all subontologies must be separate now if meta isn't loaded
• show inter-ontology relations again and recalculate
• test the day mode (options)
• test all links (under Services and Help), Developer Documentation won't work locally
• check if the mouseover tooltips are shown when hovering over menu entries (not all entries have tooltips)
• "About SNIK Graph" must be correct
• test the zoom elements
• try if the language switches from English to German and back to English
• the language switch must apply both to the menu and to many BB classes
• search for "3lgm2 mentity type"
• 3LGM² Entity Type from the blue book must be highlighted with a yellow color now.
• search for "Logical Tool Layer" as well, it must also be highlighted with a yellow color now.
• select 3LGM² Entity Type
• click and hold the secondary mouse button on "Logical Tool Layer" and choose path, release the mouse button
• check if the path is displayed and the labels (on nodes and edges) are existing (scroll to zoom in)
• reset view
• choose any two not directly connected nodes and test spiderworm, doublestar and starpath in that order (see the manual for what they should do)
• reset view again
• select any node and test star and circlestar
• reset view yet again
• hide at least one node and one edge using the contextmenu and del-button
• check if the description and the other entries in the contextmenu are working
