The following critical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors
that can lead to wrong simulation results):

| dp_volumeFlowRate_DP dp_volumeFlowRate_MFLOW |
The mass flow rate was not correctly computed if the pressure drop is a linear function of the volume flow rate. This has been corrected. |
| Modelica.Media.Air.MoistAir | |
| density_derX s_pTX s_pTX_der |
The calculation was wrong. This has been corrected. |

| getTime | The month and year was only correctly returned if the implementing source file (ModelicaInternal.c) was compiled for Windows OS. This has been corrected. |
