[Repast-interest] Evolver 1.0 beta 1 released

[Nick C. <vze...@ve...>]

I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of Evolver.

Evolver is a rapid simulation development tool for creating RePast
simulations (http://repast.sourceforge.net). Using a drag-and-drop
model, a simulation can be graphically composed out of various pieces
(predefined models, agents, analysis components, etc.). Any desired
behavior not included in the predefined components can be specified
using NQPython (Not Quite Python), a Python-like language specifically
designed to integrate well with RePast and much simpler than Java. 

The current beta release contains five Evolver components suitable for
creating network simulations, as well as documentation, tutorials and
five sample Evolver network models.

See the download section of the RePast home page 

http://repast.sourceforge.net 

to download it. Once you've unarchived the distribution see the README
in the evolver directory to get started. 

This is a beta, so I'm really interested in bug reports, and feature
requests. Also if, in the course of using Evolver, you have any
questions (i.e. how to do I do x) let me know.
