Revisions

• June 23, 2004 by Martin Otter:
  Introduced new block connectors and adapted all blocks to the new connectors. Included subpackages Continuous, Discrete, Logical, Nonlinear from package ModelicaAdditions.Blocks. Included subpackage ModelicaAdditions.Table in Modelica.Blocks.Sources and in the new package Modelica.Blocks.Tables. Added new blocks to Blocks.Sources and Blocks.Logical.
• October 21, 2002 by Martin Otter and Christian Schweiger:
  New subpackage Examples, additional components.
• June 20, 2000 by Martin Otter and Michael Tiller:
  Introduced a replaceable signal type into Blocks.Interfaces.RealInput/RealOutput:

  replaceable type SignalType = Real
  

  in order that the type of the signal of an input/output block can be changed to a physical type, for example:

  Sine sin1(outPort(redeclare type SignalType=Modelica.Units.SI.Torque))
  

• Sept. 18, 1999 by Martin Otter:
  Renamed to Blocks. New subpackages Math, Nonlinear. Additional components in subpackages Interfaces, Continuous and Sources.
• June 30, 1999 by Martin Otter:
  Realized a first version, based on an existing Dymola library of Dieter Moormann and Hilding Elmqvist.
