OpenModelica 1.4.2, October 2006

This release has improvements and bug fixes of the OMC compiler, OMNotebook, the MDT plugin and the OMDev. OMShell is the same as previously.

OpenModelica Compiler (OMC)

This release includes further improvements of the OpenModelica Compiler (OMC):

• Improved initialization and index reduction.
• Support for integer arrays is now largely implemented.
• The val(variable,time) scripting function for accessing the value of a simulation result variable at a certain point in the simulated time.
• Interactive evalution of for-loops, while-loops, if-statements, if-expressions, in the interactive scripting mode.
• Improved documentation and examples of calling the Model Query and Manipulation API.
• Many bug fixes.

OpenModelica Notebook (OMNotebook)

Search and replace functions have been added. The DrModelica tutorial (all files) has been updated, obsolete sections removed, and models which are not supported by the current implementation marked clearly. Automatic recognition of the .onb suffix (e.g. when double-clicking) in Windows makes it even more convenient to use.

OpenModelica Eclipse Plug-in (MDT)

Two major improvements are added in this release:

• Browsing and code completion works both for standard Modelica and for MetaModelica.
• The debugger for algorithmic code is now available and operational in Eclipse for debugging of MetaModelica programs.
