Relevant enhancements to mention in the MSL 4.1.0 release notes

[casella]

This report lists 51 PRs to MSL 4.1.0 marked with the "enhancement" tab. Many of them are rather trivial or technical, e.g. updating versions of library dependencies.

IMHO the ones worth mentioning in the Release Notes are:

• improved 1D friction models (rotational Enhance frictional models based on ExternalCombiTable1D #3662 and translational Enhance frictional translational models based on ExternalCombiTable1D #3690)
• improved SignalPWM model Implement choice between sawtooth and triangle reference signal in PowerConverters/DCDC/Control/SignalPWM #3679
• added reading from CSV files in to ModelicaStandardTables Add reading of CSV files from ModelicaTableAdditions to ModelicaStandardTables #3691
• added quasi static transformer model Quasi-static Transformer #3697
• added 1D mechanical components with inverse torque-speed relationship Rotational and translational inverse speed dependent torque/force #3702
• added ChopperBuckBoost power converter model Add ChopperBuckBoost to PowerConverters #3774
• added ideal rotational coupling Rotational coupling #3786
• added electrical impulse models Implement ImpulseSources #3831
• added quasi-RMS sensors for single-phase systems Add QuasiRMS voltage and current single-phase sensors #3876
• improved PowerConverters.DCDC.HBridge model PowerConverters.DCDC.HBridge #3897
• improved eddy current sources Eddy current sources #3976
• improved FluxTubes FluxTubes: some improvements in shapes and material #3993
• new Exponentiation block Add new power block for raising an input to a user parameterized exponent #4006
• new block SignalExtrema for continuous signals Implement continuous version of SignalExtrema #4015

@arunkumar-narasimhan, @Harisankar-Allimangalath, please take note

I can confirm for

• improved 1D friction models (rotational Enhance frictional models based on ExternalCombiTable1D #3662 and translational Enhance frictional translational models based on ExternalCombiTable1D #3690)
• added 1D mechanical components with inverse torque-speed relationship Rotational and translational inverse speed dependent torque/force #3702
• improved eddy current sources Eddy current sources #3976

In contrast,

• added ideal rotational coupling Rotational coupling #3786

is IMO not fully closed. It interrelates to #4019 which is still open!
