Minor Changes in Ptolemy 0.7.1

  • Vem/pigiRpc interlocks to prevent the dreaded "RPC Protocol Error" - Tom Lane
  • Custom display of universe parameters in run control panels. It is now possible to add parameters to the Run Control panel by checking check boxes in the Edit Parameters Window. - Tom Lane
  • Support for using the ddd debugger from pigi -debug - Jens Voigt
  • Support for compiling Ptolemy under Solaris 2.5 for the PC using PTARCH=sol2.5pc - Dominique Ragot
  • Support for the Process Network (PN) domain under Linux - Wolfgang Reimer
  • Script files have been converted from C Shell to Bourne shell. - Christopher Hylands Wolfgang Reimer
    The changed files are:
  • bin/pigiEnv.csh is now bin/pigiEnv.sh, bin/pigiEnv.csh is no longer shipped
  • bin/ptsetup.csh has been converted. Both bin/ptsetup.csh and bin/ptsetup.sh are shipped since there are other scripts that source both versions
  • $PTOLEMY/MAKEARCH has been converted to Bourne shell.
  • Various bug fixes from Wolfgang Reimer, including:
  • Create 2 new Ptolemy targets for Linux (linux.static, linux.debug)
  • Work around to allow to use Complex class of GNU libg++
  • matlab.mk and mathematica.mk now allow predefinition of MATLABDIR and MATHEMATICADIR
  • For complete details, see http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemy0.7/patches/reimer/index.html
  • VHDL Environment variable changes - Mike Williamson
    Brian Evans reported a bug where SimVSSTarget sets environment variables even when they are blank, and whatever it sets overrides the user's shell environment settings. A further problem was that the target sets them when it's a child target. Child target parameters are not editable from pigi, so if the defaults were wrong, the user could not fix them.
  • Features present in Ptolemy 0.7 that were removed in 0.7.1

  • Many features in Tycho have been removed:
  • The TclJava interface has been removed, it does not work with JDK1.1. The new Tcl/Java interface is called TclBlend, but it only works with Tcl8.0. Itcl has not yet been ported to Tcl8.0, so we can't use Tcl Blend yet.
  • CGCDDF files have been removed. CGCDDF was never well integrated into the Ptolemy tree, it required a rebuild. The affected stars are CGCSelf, CGCRepeater, CGCLastOfN, CGCEndCase, CGCDownCounter, CGCCase.
