5.9c Changes

None

Bug Fixes

Variable names ending in international or far eastern (non-ASCII) characters were being truncated when entered.

5.9b Changes

The help files can now go to the background (behind the main Vensim window).

Bug Fixes

Vensim DLL Only: Floating point exceptions generated through math function (exp, ln, etc) would cause unpredictable behavior in the calling application.

DSS Only: The Venapp Editor would cause entered commands to repeat when editing buttons and other command objects.

Printing and exporting of Sketch Views with IO objects and sliders would introduce extraneous markings.

Some of the nonstandard valve shapes were not showing on sketches (these would appear simply blank).

Bitmaps embedded in sketch views were printing the wrong size (too small).

DSS/DLL Only: When using commands file patch with an & or other special character in them were not being handled correctly.

5.9a Changes

The Reset to Full Range button on the Time Axis tab of the Control Panel resets to the simulation range. Clicking again will expand this to include the embedded data range if this is bigger.

Clicking on variable names in embedded graphs will select them into the workbench.

When embedded graphs are not displaying output the variable and tool name (or custom graph name) are now displayed.

The highlighting format for selected Arrows has changed in order to make it easer to see what is selected.

The list of models most recently open has been extended to include the last 10 models.

In SyntheSim mode the colors for Lookup variables has been changed to a lighter blue, and overridden variables a lighter red to make graphs easier to read.

Bug Fixes

Models using nested macros would sometimes cause Vensim to close when adding or pasting in new variables using those macros.

Models using string variables in GET XLS... call would sometimes fail to open.

DSS Double Precision only: Floating point errors during simulation would sometimes cause SyntheSim (or simply behavior displayed on Sketches) to stop responding.

DSS Only: The ALIASSCREEN command in Venapps was not working.

DSS Only: Sometimes screens in Venapps would not full populate all buttons.

DSS Only: The SIMULATE>SETVAL command was not working with String Variables.

Pro/DSS Only: When using csv files for changes lines with the first row empty where putting out an error message instead of being ignored.

The positioning of the cursor within the Equation Editor was incorrect when there were syntax errors.

Tables with large number of time points using Date labeling would sometimes fail to open with a memory error.

Units checking on VECTOR LOOKUP was returning the units of the second rather than the first argument.

Work in progress graphs would not always update properly during a simulation, and could go blank in Venapps.
