This release should have us caught up on the regressions that were being seen using some of the Process Flow objects,
I'll let Harry comment further on some of the new requirements for using these objects.

Internally, a few more of the JaamSim API methods have gotten documented to help those programming their own
objects.

A bit more speed has been squeezed out of the event execution code, now the vast majority of the time is spent in model
code and there isn't much more to cut out.

Multiple bugs that were introduced in release 2015-02 have been corrected:
  • EntityConveyor provides the correct values for the outputs obj and NumberAdded
  • Seize blocks can be placed in series with each other, with Server, and with other process flow objects
  • EntityGate manages its queue correctly -- a bug in release -02 caused an extra copy of an arriving entity to be placed in the queue.
  • entities passing straight through an EntityGate are now counted correctly by the output NumberAdded
  • entities removed from its queue by Seize are now counted correctly by the output NumberAdded
  • entities removed from the queues for Assemble are now counted correctly by the output NumberAdded
  • Resource keyword Capacity now performs its test for valid range correctly (during validation)
New features added and other changes made in 2015-03:
  • new keyword "TargetEntity" added to the SetGraphics object
  • sending an entity directly to an Assemble object now causes a runtime error (they must be sent to the Assemble object's queues)
  • sending an entity to an EntityGenerator now causes a runtime error (instead of failing quietly)
  • improved tooltip popups for the Control Panel and Model Builder (now similar to the ones in Microsoft Office)
