Notes on .exe build from revision 10984

2012-01-30

Enhancements:
- The feature sendData has been removed from OpenModelica. As a result, the kernel no longer depends on Qt. The plot3() family of functions have now replaced to plot(), which in turn have been removed. The non-standard visualize() command has been removed in favour of more recent alternatives.
- Store the documentation as Modelica Documentation annotations.
- Re-implementation of the simulation runtime using C instead of C++ (this was needed to export FMI source-based packages).
- FMI import/export bug fixes.
- Changed the internal representation of various structures to share more memory. This significantly improved the performance for very large models that use records.
- Faster model flattening, Improved simulation, initialization, some graphical API bug fixes.
- New options to API calls list, loadFile, and more.
- Initial support for operator overloading (in progress).
- Enforce the restriction that input arguments of functions may not be assigned to.
- Improved the scripting environment. cl := $TypeName(Modelica);getClassComment(cl); now works as expected. As does looping over lists of typenames and using reduction expressions.
- Some support for operator overloading.
- Faster plotting in OMNotebook.
- New ModelicaML version with support for value bindings in requirements-driven modeling and importing Modelica library models into ModelicaML models.
- Various bugfixes.

Functionality from 1.8 that is missing in 1.8.1 but will be put back soon:
- Missing Interactive simulation.
- Plots in OMNotebook are not yet put in a cell in the notebook, instead just in a popup window.

- see more in ChangeLog file.
