30 Jun 2007 ----------- Version 0.9.5.112 Solver interface - all solvers and integrators are now built as 'external library' DLL/SOs. - placeholder for a future TRON solver (work still to do on that) - new ASCENDSOLVERS environment variable gives additional search path location that is checked when attempting to satisfy IMPORT statements. - Fixed behaviour scons when lex/yacc not available/. - RPM packaging tested with openSUSE build service, RPM divided into subpackages ascend, ascend-devel, ascend-doc. - BLAS and LINPACK are now embedded in the LSODE DLL/SO. They are not part of libascend, which makes the main DLL about 1 MB smaller. - Many ASC_DLLSPEC qualifiers added as result of the expanded use of external libraries. - Added ASCEND port of the standard GAMS example problem. - Some bugs in the DOPRI5 integrator identified (full testing still not completed). - Equations of state models from Krishnan. 3 Jun 2007 ---------- Version 0.9.5.111 Windows packaging improvements: - Launch via pythonw.exe instead of batch file - File association for .a4c and .a4l files - Add Model Library link to Start menu - Add CHANGELOG.txt and LICENSE.txt to Start menu - Detect missing PyGTK, PyCairo or PyGObject at install-time - Fix message for missing matplotlib in fourbarplot.py DOPRI5 integrator - Experimental release of DOPRI5 integrator for testing - Changes to Integrator API to allow loading external DLL/SOs Linux packaging improvements - Add SONAME to libascend 26 May 2007 ----------- Version 0.9.5.110 Removed dependency on matplotlib and numpy when ASCEND PyGTK first load.
