Simile version 6.11 released

This version introduces the ability for a Simile submodel to implement a connection to a separate program via a named pipe or Unix socket. This means that models developed in other tools can be used as components in Simile models.

Other changes since the original version 6.10:

Improvements

• Pause button takes effect quicker in Windows
• Mac varsion help now includes Spotlight
• Simile is now scaling-aware in Windows. so looks good on 4k+ displays
• Any available font can now be selected for model component captions
• Y-axis captions on plotter now shown vertically next to scale values
• SVG images can now be exported from submodels
• Code for submodels implemented as c procedures can now include system headers
• Influences now appear 'pulsed' if carrying discrete events rather than continuous values
• Columns in table helper resize automatically to fit their header text
• Pure discrete models now twice as fast

Bug fixes

• Moving a slider could cut a population, or update the next result of the 'last()' function, while the model was paused
• var_delay() function now works better with unusual time units
• If a discrete model has a chain of states that influence each other, and an event updates all of them, each value should only propagate one step along the chain per occurrence of the event
• Many, many others too trivial to mention

New preferences

• Column separator when saving .csv files (separator for loading a .csv now chosen in the load dialogue)

• Options to the c++ compiler for building model code
