We are pleased to announce the 4th release candidate of E-Cell 3.1.107. We decided to roll this extra RC as opposed to the statement of the previous release note, due to some critical errors that were found since the last release candidate.

* Note that the current releases cannot be built with the recent system that has libtool 2.x installed because of the incompatibility of libltdl bundled in the package, as you might notice.... read more

The second release candidate of E-Cell 3.1.107 has been ready for download. A number of bugs are addressed in this release.

This is the first release candidate of E-Cell version 3.1.107, which will be the last release of 3.1 series and thus has to be considered to be a temporary measure.

This release contains the fix for the compilation problem with the recent gcc, especially one that come with Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and Fedora 10.

About E-Cell system:
E-Cell System is an object-oriented software suite for modeling, simulation, and analysis of large scale complex systems such as biological cells. It allows many components driven by multiple algorithms with different timescales to coexist in a model. Please refer to http://www.e-cell.org/ for detail.

After months of full time dedication to quality assurance, ecell-3.1.106 is finally released.

The major changes since the last release mainly involve Windows build systems. Now win32 and win64 native builds fully work using the Visual C++ compiler. In addition, the Cygwin build is also production quality.... read more

We are proud to annouce the second release candidate of the upcoming release, 3.1.106. A few bugs were fixed for better compatibility with older systems like rhel5.

We are not going to place binary packages this time on sourceforge.net, as now we have set up the repository that can be directly specified in the configuration files of your package manager (wow!)

Instructions for the packages are explained in a separate page:

We are pleased to announce the latest release of the E-Cell 3.1 series, 3.1.106rc1. In this release, lots of minor problem have been addressed and fixed.

It will be appreciated that you try this release candidate, and report us any remaining problem that should be fixed before the final release of 3.1.106.

Changelog:

* Updated bundled libtool script for better compatibility with MacOSX and similar systems.
* The users manual is now bundled in the distribution.
* Improved dynamic priority queue. (Koichi)
* Support for the newest NumPy release in ecell.Analysis . (Kazunari)
* Numerous minor bugfixes. (Moriyoshi)
* Added two new functions, libecs::initialize() and libecs::finalize(). Those functions need to be called before using the simulation kernel or after finished up with it respectively. Users don't have to take care of this change as long as they are using E-Cell through the Python frontends because these functions are automatically called on start-up and clean-up of pyecs module.
