All,
There are many, many new user-convenience features added to Oscill8 in
v1.11, and I thought it appropriate to say this is a very good time to
update! See details if you like below, but the features generally fall
into these categories:
1) Much improved logging and error handling: helping the user know what
went wrong (see "View->Log Window" for full logs)
2) Data integrity: automatic workspace backups, md5 digest checks on
data, workspace overwrite confirmations, etc
3) Ease of input: input through "Open" now includes ODE/XML/SBML as
valid "openable" file types (workspace is created automatically)
4) Various annoying bugs: increased xpp ODE format compliance, FIXED \
character for line continuation.
I highly recommend a refresh/upgrade now.
Enjoy,
Emery
#====================================================================
# release 1.11.0 notes (2005/10/06)
#====================================================================
Updates are:
* Auto set directory in "New" after file load (last release).
* Auto conversion of ODE file to readable form (\n-->\r\n conv).
* Fixed \ continuation of lines for DOS/Windows \r\n line end
(Bug #1313228).
* Added overwrite confirm when you try to create a new
workspace that will overwrite an old one.
* Added auto backup feature (for data recovery in an emergency).
Your workspace directory now has a "backup" directory which
contains a sequence of last known good workspaces. In the
future, this will only contain a maximum number of files, but
for now (in this oscill8 version), there will be an unlimited
number of copies here... you may want to purge the older ones
if you have disk space problems.
* Added ODE/XML/SBML file to valid "File->Open" options... this will
pass you off to the workspace creation interface.
#====================================================================
# release 1.10.3 notes (2005/10/05)
#====================================================================
Updates are:
* Fixed error handling for model init (o8core properly exits)
(Bug #1313228).
* Added o8core log output to GUI log.
* Changed the look/feel of log form; need to add convenient
highlighting etc.
#====================================================================
# release 1.10.2 notes (2005/10/04)
#====================================================================
Updates are:
* Fixed minor silliness with an extra data point (in very rare
cases).
* Added parsing and model speed test cases to o8core_tests.
#====================================================================
# release 1.10.1 notes (2005/10/04)
#====================================================================
Updates are:
* Addressed mutiple problems with simulator re: xpp simulation
test suite (thanks Nick); only one of the remaining failing
tests (arcsin) is a real fail, the rest are unimplemented
features.
* Fixed error in global flag parser (which was introduced in
v1.10.0 when I added a slightly sloppier syntax variant).
