- Steve ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: NetLogo 2.0.1 released From: "Uri Wilensky" <[hidden email]> Date: Sat, May 8, 2004 11:46 pm To: [hidden email] [hidden email] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The NetLogo development team at the Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling at Northwestern University is pleased to announce the release of NetLogo 2.0.1. NetLogo 2.0.1 is available for free download from our site at http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/ . We hope you enjoy it. If you have comments or suggestions please send them to us at [hidden email]. Even though we have labelled this a point release (2.0.1), this release has a major new feature, the extensions API, which enables users to write their own extensions to NetLogo. This feature is still new and experimental; we welcome feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. The following is a (partial) list of changes made and new features that have been added since NetLogo 2.0. * system: + our bundled Java VM on Windows is now Sun 1.4.2_04 (was 1.4.2_02) * features: + new, experimental "extensions" API allows writing new commands and reporters in Java; see new "Extensions" section of User Manual + previously unpublished "controlling" API lets users control NetLogo from external Java code (such as for automating multiple runs); see new "Controlling" section of User Manual * content: + new social science models: Scatter, El Farol, Minority Game + new earth science model: Erosion + new code examples: Hex Cells Example, Hex Turtles Example, Patch Clusters Example + improved models: Koch Curve (revamped), Binomial Rabbits (bugfix), Ant Lines (bugfix), Shepherds (bugfix and better code), Prob Graphs Basic (simplified interface), Random Basic (usability improvements), Random Balls (bugfix) + minor updates to the User Manual * engine fixes: + fixed bug where recompiling the model undid the effects of set-default-shape + fixed the file-read command so it skips trailing whitespace, which makes it more convenient to use in conjunction with file-at-end? + fixed bug where using the mouse primitives could freeze NetLogo under certain unusual circumstances + code of the form <breed> in-radius ... now runs much faster * interface fixes: + fixed bug where turtle monitors were sometimes blank + fixed bug where unfreezing the display from the graphics control strip sometimes caused a graphics update even when the no-display command was in effect + fixed bug where saving the model would close files opened by file-open + fixed shapes editor bug where changes to shapes weren't always immediately visible in the graphics window + fixed shapes editor bug where renaming a shape would cause the shape to be duplicated + fixed Windows-only bug where code sometimes disappeared from buttons containing multiple lines of code * computer HubNet changes: + improved activities: Tragedy of the Commons (bugfix), Gridlock Alternate (bugfix, improvements), Sampler (bugfix) + server discovery is now off by default in the client, since we suspected it of causing problems on some configurations + fixed bug where the list of servers contained duplicates + fixed assorted bugs with plots displaying incorrectly + fixed bugs that caused the clients' graphics to sometimes be out of sync with the server Reporting Bugs: We would appreciate your comments and bug reports. If you find a bug, please send us a bug report (as detailed as you can -- including OS, method of running NetLogo, commands used, attach your model if possible, etc.) so that we can correct the bug as speedily as possible. Please send bug reports to [hidden email].

To join the group, or just to browse the group's message archives, visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/netlogo-educators/ NetLogo 2.0.1 files The release package for NetLogo 2.0.1 includes: * "NetLogo" and "HubNet Client" applications * "NetLogo.jar", "NetLogoLite.jar", "HubNet.jar", and "MRJAdapter.jar" internal support files * "Docs" folder containing a "NetLogo User Manual" -- complete documentation in HTML and printable PDF formats * "Models" folder containing the NetLogo Models Library of Sample Models, Curricular Models, Code Examples, and HubNet Activities * Uninstall NetLogo application and support files (Windows users only) * ReadMe file Credits NetLogo was designed by Uri Wilensky, project leader and director of the CCL. The lead developer is Seth Tisue. Many others have greatly contributed. HubNet was jointly designed by Uri Wilensky and Walter Stroup. The development of HubNet (both calculator and computer versions) is part of the Participatory Simulations project --a collaboration between Northwestern University's Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling (CCL) and the University of Texas at Austin. The design of NetLogo was supported through funding from the National Science Foundation (grants REC 9814682, REC 0126227). Additional support for the design of HubNet (calculator version) was provided by Texas Instruments.

In NetLogo 2.0, they changed their parameter sweeper, BehaviorSpace. It's a pretty good tool with basic functionality. From the docs: "For NetLogo 2.0, the old BehaviorSpace tool from NetLogo 1.x was replaced with a new, rewritten version which, though functional, is still under development. The new version does not yet include all the functionality of the old one. The biggest difference is that it does not include any of the data analysis capabilities the old version had. Instead, it is assumed that you will use other software (such as a spreadsheet program or scientific visualization tool) to analyze your results. However, the new version already has the following advantages over the old one: you can vary any global variables, not just sliders, but also switches and choices, and any variable declared in the procedures tab, and the values they range over can be any values, not just numbers anymore you can enter arbitrary code for "setup" and "go" now; you're not tied to using buttons that exist in your model you can vary variables in any order you want, rather than BehaviorSpace choosing the order for you you can collect any result type you want, not just numbers anymore The documentation for the the new version is still sketchy; if you have questions, please write [hidden email].
