Release Notes for OpenModelica 1.9.3
The most important enhancements in the OpenModelica 1.9.3 release:
- Enhanced collaborative development and testing of OpenModelica by moving to the GIT-hub framework for versioning and parallel development.
- More accessible and up-to-date automatically generated documentation provided in both html and pdf.
- Further improved simulation speed and coverage of several libraries.
- OMEdit graphic connection editor improvements.
- OMNotebook improvements.
OpenModelica Compiler (OMC)
This release mainly includes improvements of the OpenModelica Compiler (OMC), including, but not restricted to the following:
- Further improved simulation speed and coverage for several libraries.
- Faster generated code for functions involving arrays, factor 2 speedup for many power generation models.
- Better initialization.
- An implicit inline Euler solver available.
- Code generation to enable vectorization of for-loops.
- Improved non-linear, linear and mixed system solving.
- Cross-compilation for the ARMhf architecture.
- A prototype state machine implementation.
- Improved performance and stability of the C++ runtime option.
- More accessible and up-to-date automatically generated documentation provided in both html and .pdf.
Graphic Editor OMEdit
There are several improvements to the OpenModelica graphic connection editor OMEdit:
- Support for uses annotations.
- Support for declaring components as vectors.
- Faster messages browser with clickable error messages.
- Support for managing the stacking order of graphical shapes.
- Several improvements to the plot tool and text editor in OMEdit.
OpenModelica Notebook (OMNotebook)
Several improvements:
- Support for moving cells from one place to another in a notebook.
- A button for evaluation of whole notebooks.
- A new cell type called Latex cells, supporting Latex formatted input that provides mathematical typesetting of formulae when evaluated.
Optimization
Several improvements of the Dynamic Optimization module with collocation, using Ipopt:
- Better performance due to smart treatment of algebraic loops for optimization.
- Improved formulation of optimization problems with an annotation approach which also allows graphical problem formulation.
- Proper handling of constraints at final time.
FMI Support
Further improved FMI 2.0 co-simulation support.
OpenModelica Development Environment (OMDev)
A big change: version handling and parallel development has been improved by moving from SVN to GIThub. This makes it easier for each developer to test his/her fixes and enhancements before committing the code. Automatic mirroring of all code is still performed to the OpenModelica SVN site.
