This release contains fixes to the first release:

• Broken links due to recent updates on the website of the System Dynamics Society in the References have been fixed.


• The reference to David N. Ford's "A system dynamics glossary" [20] has been corrected.


• For some Molecules of Structure—in lieu of an available published version—links to Jim Hines' website have been added.


• Improved html code in the documentation.


• The prefix partial for the package SourcesOrSinks had been erroneously placed and has been removed.


• Fixed issues with conditional components being used within equations as this is prohitibed according to Modelica specifications.


• According to Modelica specification the unit attribute for the builtin class Real has parametric variability; accordingly constant variables used for setting this have been given the parameter prefix now.


• The global parameter smoothness in Examples.LookupFunctions violated lookup rules and now correctly references Modelica.Blocks.Types.Smoothness.LinearSegments.


• outputIfZero for Converters.Division_Guarded now correctly has type OutputType.


• Mostly ConstantConverter components used discrete variables outside of when-clauses; the discrete declaration for these variables has been deemed unnecessary and accordingly been dropped.


• Icons.Clock and Icons.Clock_white have been renamed to Clockface and Clockface_white in order to avoid errors in other tools.


• Units in Examples.ManagingEmployment did not match up because OutputType was not propagated further down in the hierarchy.


• OutputType which is defined as a replaceable type has been made encapsulated as type cannot be looked up in classes that are not packages unless they are encapsulated.


• The modification for BasicStock within the class Stocks.CapacityRestrictedStock contained hasVariableAdmissableRange which is not included in the class.
