[oscill8-info] Oscill8, v1.9.18

[Emery C. <ec...@vt...>]

All,

There is a pre-release of Oscill8 v2 out (current version is 
1.9.18--full v2 will be early in the fall). There are many new features 
and enhancements, including SBML input, SBW module mode, bifurcation 
matching and searching (command line version only right now--will be GUI 
version in v2 release), print summary features, parameter twiddler and 
run set functionality. The official v2 release will document all of the 
new features in detail (none of these features are properly documented 
yet), but here are some of the highlights of the latest:

    * SBW module mode, i.e., run from JDesigner SBW menu passing SBML 
version of model (this requires SBW and the XPP converter tools to be 
installed, see next).
    * SBML input (using SBML --> ODE conversion SBW utility thanks to V. 
Ravi Rao of KGI)
    * RunSet functionality with a parameter twiddler and real-time 
multigraph view update (define set of runs and use a parameter twiddler 
to see graphs update in real-time)
    * Full discrete event support (via XPP "global" syntax in the ODE 
file). This is still a bit buggy for a small set of models, but works 
for many.
    * Drag and drop plot combining (graph one run and drop it on the 
graphic for another and they are combined)
    * SamplePeriodMinMax feature (sample the period and amplitude of 
limit cycles in oscillatory region of parameter space)
    * Fixed edge interpolation in graphics
    * Cntl-S save to bmp/png etc from a graphic.
    * Added save to bmp and print features; run context menu has nice 
print summary feature which encapsulates the graph and other info for a run.
    * Many updates to matching... added relative matching, match classes 
now allows multiple identical p-value matches, takes best.
    * Fixed Cntl+S to bmp to 640,480 size for niceness.
    * Added zoom lines.
    * Fixed nit/nit1 infinite loop in AUTO.
    * Added -c/--coreport command line option so user can run multiple 
oscill8/o8core copies on a single machine.
    * Bifurcation Matching is working nicely in core.

Enjoy,

Emery
