I am happy to announce the release of Drone 2.90.0. This is a development release; see below for details. Drone 1.03 remains the stable version. WHAT IS DRONE? Drone is a system for automatically running simulation programs in batch mode, either on an arbitrary number of Internet hosts or on a single computer. It allows sweeps over arbitrary sets of parameters, as well as multiple runs for each parameter set, with a separate random seed for each run. It also includes a number of features to help with simulation record keeping, archiving, statistical validation, and replication. WHAT'S NEW Drone 2.90.0 is a complete redesign and reimplementation of Drone for Posix platforms; it is not backwards-compatible. It is designed from the ground up to be more robust, more extendible, more secure, and more efficient than previous versions. It consists of a client and a server communicating using a TCP/IP application protocol called the Drone Protocol (DroneP). DroneP is designed to be implementable on any platform, although the current implementation is for Posix platforms only. All of Drone 2.90.0 is written in ANSI/ISO C. It is fully customizable and scriptable using C, C++, Objective C, Perl, Tcl, Python, Guile, or any other language that can call C functions. REQUIREMENTS Drone 2.90.0 has only been tested on Red Hat Linux 6.x, but it should be easily portable to any other Posix system. (This allegedly includes Windows NT/2000 and MacOS X.) For quickstart instructions on installing the complete Drone system as root using a default set of configuration options, see the file QUICKSTART in the Drone distribution. CURRENT STABLE VERSION The current stable version of Drone is still 1.03. You should use that version if you would just like to try Drone. Drone 2.90.0 is a development release, intended for developers, not end users. The eventual stable release for users will be Drone 3.0.0. While it is usable and works under normal conditions, Drone 2.90.0 is not feature-complete and likely contains many bugs. You should only attempt to run this version if you are comfortable compiling, installing, and debugging software. It may corrupt your hard drive, clog your network, crash your machine, get you fired or expelled, ruin your love life, and give you the marthambles. You have been warned. Caveat utens!
