Changes from 0.8.0.2 to 0.8.2.1

Please remind that several option names have changed! The most important: "net-files" (router, simulation) is now "net-file"...
Check user documentation and man-pages for this.

  • --explicite-no-junctions <JUNCTION_NAME_LIST> allows to say which junctions shall be explicitely non-tls-controlled
  • --edges-min-speed <SPEED_MS> allows to remove all edges from the input on which a lower speed than <SPEED_MS> is allowed
  • --elmar allows to import NavTech-GDF-files parsed using Elmar Brockfelds parser
  • --tiger allows to import tiger files (preliminary, does not look THAAAAT good for an unknown reason, yet)
• Router
  • Generation of random route after the first depart fixed

  • The gui now remembers his
  • The instance chooser was reworked and shows now which items are selected
  • An selected-items dialog with the ability to save the names of the selected items was implemented
  • New colours for aggregated view (aggregated views are still a prototype)
  • Fixed a bug at optional texture disabling
  • Update of trackers and tables on simulation steps added
  • About-dialog debugged
  • Message window scrolls if new text is appended
• Router
  • Output holding the number of loaded, build, and discarded routes added
  • --move-on-short function implemented
  • Bug on repeatedly emitted vehicles patched
• Simulation
  • Bug on repeatedly emitted vehicles patched
• Netconvert
  • Made the geometry of junctions pretty again
  • Too conservative right-of-way rules on importing vissim-networks was reworked
• general implementation issues
  • Replaced most output to cerr by MsgHandler-calls
• Documentation

Changes from pre0.8.3 to 0.8.0

Mainly the try to make a working release... Furthermore:

• More detectors
• Aggregated views
• Porting to FOX

Changes from pre0.8.2 to pre0.8.3

Mostly functioning and stable. The changes

• Linux-building patched
• Added a preliminary visualisation of junctions and detectors
• The detectors were reimplemented
• Vehicles and vehicle types now contain a certain color (not yet chooseable)
• Traffic lights may now have offsets
• Different other, smaller things

Changes from pre0.8 to pre0.8.2

I decided to post the next pre-release that fast as a bug within the netconversion module strongly disallowed the usage of the package.
As the network generator is not working yet, but still is included within the package, a further release will be out win the next days.

• Netconversion bug removed
• Preliminary junction display
• Preliminary netgenerator

Changes from 0.7.1 to pre0.8

• Further applications added: router, od2trips-converter, tagreader
• A graphical user interface
• Further import possibilities added: ArcView, Visum, Vissim (partly in work), ARTEMIS
• A new concept of the microsimulation
• Traffic lights simulation
• Working lane changing
