The zip-file for the Win32 version was damaged, after decompressing it showed duplicate files. We replaced it with an (hopefully) undamaged version.

Dear NeSSi2 users,

we are happy to announce the first part of new NeSSi2 release. The main changes in this release are:

Support for simulation artifact repositories: This feature is based on Maven and is still experimental.
Support for multiple networks in one project.
Plug-in API for defining termination conditions for simulations.
Support for synchronizing simulations.

The upcoming part two of this release will also allow simulating energy networks. Currently we are in the process of creating icons for the editor, than can be distributed with NeSSi2. Also this part is developed in an ongoing research project, so there still may be some last minute changes required, if discover problems in running our experiments. So hopefully, the second part will be available within the next three months.... read more

The NeSSi² Developer Team.

This is a bug fix release for 2.0.0-beta.2:

* Annotations used in developing own devices and application no longer require public visibility, if they do not directly sub-class the abstract classes provided in the API.
* Generation of identifiers for connections and network elements in rare cases duplicated identifiers, this should be fixed now.
* The handling of relative file names and absolute file names on Windows resulted in the creation of two SQLite files (one for the UI and one for the backend), instead of one shared file.... read more
