---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Uri Wilensky <u...@northwestern.edu> Date: Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 10:30 AM Subject: NetLogo 5.0.3 released To: netlogo-annou...@listserv.it.northwestern.edu
The Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling at Northwestern University is pleased to announce the release of NetLogo 5.0.3, available for free download from our site at http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/ . The NetLogo user community has recently experienced much growth. Maintaining the large code-base and adding features to support our users requires considerable resources. Please consider making a donation at our site when you download. NetLogo 5.0.3 includes a fix to NetLogo applets to make them compatible with Java 7 on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8. A recent Software Update from Apple makes Java 7 the default Java version for applets, so many more users may now encounter the incompatibility in previous NetLogo versions. Attention applet authors: For you applets to work for all Mac users, you will need to replace the NetLogoLite.jar on your web servers with the new JAR included with 5.0.3. For Macintosh users with the Mountain Lion OS installed: NetLogo 5.0.3 does not contain a fix for the Mountain Lion compatibility issue described at http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/mountain-lion.shtml . A future 5.0.4 release will include a fix. In the meantime, you can still run any NetLogo version on Mountain Lion by following the instructions at that URL. Please try 5.0.3 out and send us bug reports at b...@ccl.northwestern.edu and other suggestions and comments at feedb...@ccl.northwestern.edu. We really value your feedback and look forward to hearing from you. Please let us know about bugs you find, features you want, etc. Most models created in earlier versions of NetLogo will work in NetLogo 5.0.3, perhaps with minor updates to the code. If you have any trouble, please consult: http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/transition.html . The following is a list of changes made since NetLogo 5.0.2: * fixed bug: applet didn't work on Java 7 on Lion and Mountain Lion * fixed bug: 5.0.2 regression: failure involving `foreach` plus `ask` plus recursion * fixed bug: problem with disabled buttons when importing world * fixed bug: `mouse-inside?` sometimes gave spurious false reading * fixed bug: can't load widgets containing long strings * fixed bug: locale errors when opening headless model with controlling API * enhancement: controlling API: ExtensionManager now allows access to loaded extensions * API documentation unbundled, for smaller download * models: Oil Cartel: fix so plots in clients work * models: Unverified models reviewed and updated to Sample Models: Flocking Vee Formations, GasLab Circular Particles, Language Change, Perceptron * models: new BEAGLE Evolution models: DNA Protein Synthesis * models: new Connected Chemistry model: Reversible Reaction We have four mailing lists for NetLogo: - netlogo-announce: occasional release announcements only - netlogo-users: discussions about using NetLogo - netlogo-educators: discussions about teaching with NetLogo - netlogo-devel: discussions about the development of NetLogo http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/ has info on all four.
