Other Key New Capabilities

New and Enhanced Actor Libraries

A number of new and enhanced actor libraries are included in version 6.0.2. You may also wish to refer to the ptolemy.actor.lib package, where most of the domain-polymorphic actors reside (domain-polymorphic actors are those that can be used in more than one domain).
  • New generic actors:
  • New Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) actors:
  • New Discrete Event (DE) actors:

    Backward Compatibility

    Most models developed under Ptolemy II 1.0.1, 2.0.1, 3.0.2, 4.0.1, 5.0.2 or HyVisual 2.2-beta, 3.0, 4.0.1, 5.0.1 should run under Ptolemy II 6.0.2

    The MoMLParser includes a list of backward compatibility filters that make certain changes on models when read, handling such issues as actors being moved or renamed and parameter names being changed. The filters themselves are defined in ptolemy.moml.filter. If you have developed your own actors under earlier versions of Ptolemy II by writing your own Java files, you should recompile all your java code with the new release. In theory, copying the .class files should work, but recompiling is safer.
