[sumo-announce] "Developer" Version 0.9.3 released

[<Dan...@dl...>]

Dear users,

I am very happy to announce the release of a new developer version - =
0.9.3.

Above all, the user documentation has been updated together with the =
help-pages and the man-pages. Also, this release contains a first step =
of a multimodality implementation: bus-stops. These structures allow you =
to simulate stopping of busses, but it is a first shot - no bus line and =
no parking sinks are avaiable, yet. There are also some changes on the =
visualization which is now more flexible and allows to choose own colors =
and several degrees of details.

Furthermore, there are some MAJOR changes in the netconvert application. =
Some people were confused that some of the streets they have defined in =
their XML-input disappear when building the SUMO-network. This is now =
switched off as default. You may read the documentation about this topic =
and why the behaviour was implemented at all in the user documentation =
(http://sumo.sourceforge.net/docs/gen/user_chp04.shtml#user_chp04-further=
_options-nogeometry). Also, turnarounds are now added as default. All =
these changes which affect the work with the applications are embedded =
in '!!!' in the table below.

Bye,
Daniel
