Package: python-simpy Version: 1.9 Severity: normal A new release of SimPy the Python simulation package is now available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpy/. This is a major release with better performance, a few API-changes, improved documentation, and bug fixes. It is fully backwards compatible with previous versions.
The most important changes are * The handling of the event list has been changed to provide significantly shorter runtimes for larger models (models with thousands of processes) and models with many interrupts or process cancellations. The event list is no longer based on a dictionary. This latter, very important improvement is based on a SimPy tuning study by Prof. Norm Matloff (U. of California at Davis) and some of his bright graduate students. Thanks, Norm and team! * The Manual has been edited and given an easier-to-read layout. * The Bank2 tutorial has been extended.
