• An HTML WYSIWYG Editor, e.g. useful for documentation
• Support for choices(checkBox=true) annotation.
• Support for loadSelector & saveSelector attribute of Dialog annotation.
• Panning of icon/diagram view and plot window.
• AutoComplete feature in text editing for keywords, types, common Modelica constructs
• Follow connector transformation from Diagram View to Icon View.
• Further stability improvements
• Improved performance for rendering some icons using the interactive API
• Improved handling of parameters that cannot be evaluated in Icon annotations
• Basic graphic editing support for state machines and transitions (not yet support for showing state internals on diagram layer)
• Interactive state manipulation for FMU-based animations

FMI Support

• A new (stand-alone) FMI- and TLM-based simulation tool OMSimulator, first version (a main deliverable of the OPENCPS project, significant contributions and code donations from SKF)
• Graphic configuration editing of composite models consisting of FMUs
• Co-simulation/simulation of connected FMUs, TLM objects, Simulink models (via wrappers), Adams models (via wrappers), BEAST models (via wrappers), Modelica models.

Other things

• Increased OpenModelica tool interoperability by adding the ZeroMQ communications protocol in addition to the previously available Corba. This also enables Python 3 usage in OMPython on all platforms.
• Textual support through the OpenModelica API and graphical support in OMEdit for generation of single or multiple requirement verification scenarios
• VVDRlib – a small library for connecting requirements and models together, with notions for mediators, scenarios, design alternatives
• Further enhanced OMPython including linearization, now also working with Python 3.¨
• Jupyter notebooks also supported with OMPython and Python 3
• New enhanced library testing script (libraries.openmodelica.org/branches).
• Addition of mutable reference data types in MetaModelica
• Support for RedHat/Fedora binary builds of OpenModelica
• Support for exporting the system of equations in GraphML (yEd) format for debugging
