What’s new?

• Debugger:

  • Watch expressions can now be edited in the watch panel using the standard second mouse click to ‘in place’ edit the expression.
  • Step Out jumps to the next statement in the calling action of the action block currently visible.
  • Added the accelerators for the debugger:
    • F5 continues executing the model in the current execution mode.
  • Use same Color Editor, Tab Size and Font settings in code window as Actions Editor.
• Shift+F5 stops execution of the model.
• Ctrl+Shift+F5 terminates the model run.
• F9 toggles the breakpoint on the selected line of code (if one is selected).
• F10 steps over the current line of code.
• F11 steps into the current line of code.
• Shift+F11 steps out of the current action block.
• Stop & Detail stops the current debug session and jumps directly to the actions shown in the code window.
• Distribute Horizontally / Vertically is now available alongside Align for graphics objects.
• The version field in Model/Title now displays the version number the model was created in.
• The Creation Date field on Model/Title has been renamed to Modified Date.
• DTDeleteRow deletes one or more data table rows.
• DTSort sorts a specified data table column in ascending or descending order.
• Update Model Options to control the generation of journey logs.
• Added Vehicle journey logs.
• Added Path and Pseudo Path journey logs.
• Used Report can be run for Actions.

Feature Improvements

• Updated Experimenter so that it can reliably upload and download files of at least 20gb when running in the cloud (Witness io).
• Functions DTFindNum, DTFindStr, DTFindName will not produce run-time errors when the data table is empty; instead, they will return 0 to indicate that the value was not found therefore removing the requirement to code that check in actions.
• Functions DTFindNum, DTMin, DTMax, DTMean, DTMode and DTStdDev  will not require data table instance number to be typed in for single-instance data tables.
• Functions AtState, FPUtil, FSUtil, PUtil, SUtil will no longer report an error when invalid state is queried. This is to allow collection of data in for loops without the need of handling each element type differently.
• Display item drawing mode (individual or grouped) button will indicate the current mode even if mode change is not permitted.
• COM naming has been modified to be consistent.
