JaamSim 2015-08 released

[Harry King]

Changes in this release:

• DisplayEntity creation speed increased 50%. This is the bottleneck for many models -- you may see a significant increase in execution speed.
  
• SimEntity creation speed now similar to DisplayEntity. It was VERY slow in previous releases.
  
• Seize and Release can now accept an Expression for their NumberOfUnits keyword, allowing a variable number of units to be seized or released. See attached example. Note that the format for the NumberOfUnits input is now { 1 } { 1 } for two resources, whereas it was formerly just 1 1. For a single resource, the input can be either { 1 } or 1.
  
• Graph now accepts any number of entries for the LineColours, LineWidths, SecondaryLineColours, and SecondaryLineWidths keywords. They do not have to match the number of entries for DataSource and SecondaryDataSource any more.
  
• Graph now accepts any number of entries for the XLinesColor and YLinesColor keywords. They do not have to match the number of entries for XLines and YLines any more.
  
• The UnitType keyword for Probability Distributions and other objects can be reset from one unit type to another. Note that any other keywords whose unit type is determined by the UnitType input will be reset to their default values. Formerly, UnitType could only be set once -- you had to create a new object if you wanted a different unit type.

I did regression testing on all my 2015-04 models.  Everything passed.  My ED model gave a format error on parameters on the Release objects, but I saved it in 2015-08 and it works fine.
