---------- |
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 |
157 |
- Fixed. |
