[cosmic-users] CoSMIC-0.4.6 released

[Krishnakumar B]

Hi Folks,

We are pleased to announce the release of CoSMIC version 0.4.6.  Please
download CoSMIC from:

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/CoSMIC/

Major improvements over CoSMIC-0.4.5, the previous release include:

o  A new "attribute mapping" feature which allows values for attributes to
   specified at the assembly level and allows propagation of the values to
   individual components in the assembly.

o  MPC interpreter now generates MPC files which are in-sync with the MPC
   config modules in $ACE_ROOT/bin/MakeProjectCreator/config         
    
o  Improved constraints which catch a lot more errors compared with
   previous versions.

o  Importing IDL files into PICML models automatically fills a lot of the
   modeling artifacts which had to created by the user previously.
    
o  First-cut implementation of importing an updated IDL file with changes
   into an existing PICML model.

o  FlatPlan interpreter is available as one of the interpreters.  Many
   bugs have been fixed in the FlatPlan interpreter compared to the version
   that was available with beta releases of CoSMIC 0.4.6.

o  Improved installer which should fix a lot of problems with installing
   CoSMIC.  The installer has been tested on Windows XP SP2, Windows XP
   SP1a, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP x64.
   
Many thanks to the people who reported bugs with the previous release of
CoSMIC and who beta tested the installer.  Please report any
bugs/suggestions to cosmic-users at list.isis.vanderbilt.edu.

Thanks,
kitty.
