Release highlights

From VLE 1.1, the extension (FSA, Petri net, Difference Equation, etc.) are provided into packages. A package can provides simulators, data, documentation, headers and static libraries. A package can depends of another package to be build and to be use at runtime of the simulation.

The package can now be installed from remote repositories with the command line interface or via GVLE. Packages and thiers build dependencies and runtime dependencies are automatically downloaded and builded.

To improve the stability of VLE, We merge all shared libraries of vle (libvleutils, libvlevpz, libvledevs etc.) into an unique shared library called libvle-1.1.so or vle-1.1.dll. We provide a archive called vle-1.1.a or vle-1.1.lib. Under the Win32 port,

We remove the Eov program and the libvleeov shared library. Now, graphical output are available into the GVLE application.

Add a dependency to the Boost::Asio library. Now, VLE depends on Asio library to download data over http protocol.

Add a dependency to the libarchive library (http://libarchive.github.com/) to extract gzip, bzip2 tarball and Zip archives from the remote repositories.

Add an MPI mode with the command line interface MPI. For MPI, VLE depends of an MPI library.

Switch VLE to Github.
