Some errors were fixed:

• As reported by @dietmarw there was a variability mismatch with regard to setting the `Boolean` flags for flows should now be fixed.

This release adds the following classes:

• The package CausalLoop supports fast building of quantitative models from a qualitative causal loop structure.


• Allocation allows to allocate an amount to a number of recipients according to their attractiveness (i.e., priority) and their maximum capacity.


• SoftMax and SoftMin.


• IntegerInput, IntegerOutput, IntegerMultiInput, and IntegerMultiOutput (corresponding icons were added as well →Icons)


• The partial package FlexTypeSignals allows to provide input and output connectors of replaceable type BaseType.


• The converter Disruption can be used to model an exogenous effect upon a flow of information.


• The converters PolynomialFunctionFactor and PolynomialFunctionDivisor make it easy, to do gross to net and net to gross calculations.


• The type AmountRate(unit = "each/s") was added to enable convenient custom unit conversions for fractional rates (e.g., use displayUnit = "million/wk").


• There is a package PartialSubsystems with partial classes to more conveniently build subsystems.


• Some package icons have been added to →Icons.

The following modifications were made:

• Lookup functions now allow optional conversion of times and rates, so that they may be formulated more conveniently.


• Where reasonable smooth() has been made use of to allow tools to decide upon event generation; also noEvent() usage has been made optional upon the structural parameter strict in event generating expressions.
