Version 1.5.0

Version 1.5.0 adds various new features, primarily to support the development and regression testing of Modelica libraries. To install the latest version, run pip as described at http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/modelica/buildingspy/install.html

The following changes have been done:

• Added module fmi with a function that outputs fmu dependencies.
• Added regression tests for OpenModelica.
• Changed implementation of addParameters(...) to allow
  setting values of parameters that are arrays.
• Corrected bug that lead to files such as .DStore in Resources/Scripts
  to be processed as if they were scripts that run unit tests.
• Added class buildingspy.development.merger, which can be used
  to merge the Annex60 Modelica library to other Modelica libraries,
  such as the Buildings library.
• Corrected bug in copying the files for the unit tests, which
  caused libpython2.7.so not to be copied on some computers
• Added method development.include_fmu_tests that allow testing
  the export of FMUs.
• development.regressiontest now also reports when Dymola
  had to select default initial conditions,
  a model had redundant consistent initial conditions, or
  a model had type inconsistent definition equations.
• Corrected bug in simulate.Simulator that caused a syntax error
  in the Modelica .mos script when setting boolean variables.
• Changed the API of buildingspy.simulate.Simulator.
  Previously, the MODELICAPATH was used as the default
  to load the package.mo file. This was changed because the
  MODELICAPATH variable points one directory higher than the
  location of the package.mo file.
  Now, the current directory is used as the default value, which
  can be overwritten using the parameter packagePath.
• Corrected bug in buildingspy.development.regressiontest that
  only used the first word in the result mat file. This bug
  caused the unit tests to return with an error if for example
  an output file was named Obsolete.FlowMachine
• Corrected bug in buildingspy.development.Validator that
  caused the html section to be not validated if the Modelica
  file contained the and element on the same line.
• Added new module buildingspy.development.refactor that provides
  functions to refactor Modelica libraries.
• Corrected forward and backward slashes in module that runs
  the regression tests.
• Added new function buildingspy.io.outputfile.get_model_statistics,
  which allows obtaining the statistics of the model, such as the
  number of nonlinear equations.
• Added in buildingspy.development.regressiontest.Tester() the
  new function writeOpenModelicaResultDictionary() that writes
  a result dictionary for the OpenModelica regression tests.
• Added regression tests for FMU export for Dymola.
• In regression tests, added a check for parameters that only have
  a start value assigned.
• In buildingspy.development.regressiontest, added functionality
  to save Output, InitialUnknown and Derivatives dependency on
  inputs to the reference results.
• In buildingspy.development.regressiontest, added option to
  use pedantic Modelica check.
• Improved regression tests so that the list of plot variables
  no longer needed to be on a single line. This was done
  as later versions of Dymola do not write line breaks when
  exporting the .mos script.
• Added option to simulate a Modelica model without recompilation.
• In buildingspy.development.regressiontest, added tests for
  differentiation of if-expressions,
  invalid connect statements,
  redeclaration of non-replaceable classes,
  failure to interpret experiment annotation,
  file not found, and
  missing .mos script.
• Corrected html check if the html is on a single line.
• In buildingspy.development.regressiontest, changed reading of
  dslog.txt to be line by line as opposed to the whole file at once.
  The reason is that reading the whole file can give an "out of memory for strings"
  error for very long files as the size of Stringbuffer in
  dymola/source/matrixop.h is not dynamically allocated.
