Fourth alpha of mosaik 2 released

July 31, 2014

We are pleased to announce the release of a fourth alpha version for mosaik2.

Changes in this version:

[NEW] The model meta data may now contain the any_inputs which, if set to True, allows any attribute to be connected to that model (useful for databases and alike).
[CHANGE] The dictionary of input values in the API’s step() call now also contains the source of a particular value. This is also usefull to for databases. This may break existing simulators.
[CHANGE] “.” is now used as separator in full entiy IDs instead of “/” (issue #19).

This release again introduced backwards incompatible changes, so you may have to update your simulators.

Again, there no additional alpha planned and the next next release will (presumably) only add a few convenience functions and may be labeled as beta. If now big issues arise with that release, the release after that might be the final 2.0.

To get the new version, run pip install --pre -U mosaik from within your mosaik virtualenv.
