118 ----------
119
120 Version 0.9.5.112
121
122 Solver interface
123 - all solvers and integrators are now built as 'external library' DLL/SOs.
124 - new ASCENDSOLVERS environment variable gives additional search path location
125 that is checked when attempting to satisfy IMPORT statements.
126 - Fixed behaviour scons when lex/yacc not available.
127 - Many ASC_DLLSPEC qualifiers added as result of the expanded use of external
128 libraries.
129
130 Solvers
131 - CONOPT no longer needs to be present at buildtime. This was possible due
132 to permission from Arne Drud to add the 'conopt.h' file to our source code.
133 - BLAS and LINPACK are now embedded in the LSODE DLL/SO. They are not
134 part of libascend, which makes the main DLL about 1 MB smaller.
135 - Some bugs in the DOPRI5 integrator identified (full testing still not
136 completed).
137 - placeholder for a future TRON solver (work still to do on that)
138 - work underway on the IPOPT optimisation solver.
139
140 Model library
141 - Equations of state models from Krishnan.
142 - Added ASCEND port of the standard GAMS example problem.
143
144 Windows installer
145 - Added ability to download and install missing dependencies. This
146 makes getting started with ASCEND much simpler for new users.
147 - Added the user's manual (in PDF form) to the installer package.
148
149 RPM package
150 - A SUNDIALS RPM package has been submitted for inclusion in Fedora, making
151 installation of ASCEND possible with a single download on that distro.
152 - RPM divided into subpackages ascend, ascend-devel, ascend-doc.
153 - Other work on building RPMs for a range of Linux platforms using
154 the new OpenSUSE Build Service.
155
156 DEB package
