v1.3.1 is now available on CRAN.
This is a fairly significant update, with several important enhancements and bug fixes.
- The default locations for simulation inputs, outputs, cache, and module paths have changed and can be easily set via new option
spades.inputPath
,spades.outputPath
,spades.cachePath
, andspades.modulePath
, respectively. - The
spades.modulesRepo
option was renamed tospades.moduleRepo
. - Improved simulation debugging: the
debug
argument inspades
can now accept any expression as a character string, anddebug = TRUE
only prints the current event (the old behaviour can be restored usingdebug = "simList"
) -
Improved useability for module developers, including:
- New RStudio addin to simplify creation of new modules;
- Modules with lots of code can be split into several files: put helper functions etc. into
.R
files located in the module’sR/
subdirectory;
- New tools for performing heuristic optimization using pattern orientated modelling (see
?POM
) - Improved support of parallel computatations
