INET 4.4 documentation is online now - make sure you explore the new docs

[Rudolf Hornig]

After the release of INET 4.4 we have also updated the inet website with up to date documentation. A few highlights:

1. INET 4.4 now allows you to model Time Sensitive Networks. We have added a lot of showcases demonstrating various TSN features. If you plan to work with TSN, this is a "MUST read":

The User's Guide also got a brand new TSN chapter: https://inet.omnetpp.org/docs/users-guide/ch-tsn.html

2. The updated NED reference documentation now contains additional information about what messages are passed between various modules, how tags are processed and what methods are called directly on modules. This is called 'observed behavior', because we generate this by instrumenting and tracing actual simulation runs (i.e. running all examples, showcases, tutorials etc.). This will give you information about the behavior (i.e. C++ code) that is not available by simply exploring the NED files. 

INET has a new feature called 'SelfDoc' (disabled by default), that allows generating a JSON based database of all the above information that subsequently can be converted (by the inet_selfdoc_json2xml command) to an XML format that is understood by the 6.0 IDE's documentation generator. The neddoc generator can use this XML file to merge the information into the final documentation pages. As an example, see this page with observed messages and direct method calls:
