    1. Graphs can now represent all types of submodels, including local submodels of non-main scripts. They also now store two different types of information about the submodel: where it is used and where it is defined. The graph construction can also be better controlled now, including or ignoring submodels based on some arbitrary predicates. And another important change: the same submodel name can be used by different definitions in different parts of the graph;
    2. Updated the graph viewer, submodel importation and submodel manager to show and use the new information provided by the dependency graph;
    3. Some heavy refactoring.
  • Added back information removed from the Submodel Manager by commit e1ff709a4ce94923084159e355f1811129b8c49f “Refactor the Submodel Store dialog and update its view to show the submodel groups.”

  • Profile data collection should not be called every time the tree is updated.
  • Handle bundle script type.
  • Removed debugging information from submodel dependency graph operations.
  • Add menu entry to show the submodel dependency graph for the current model script.
  • Fixed typo.
  • Changed order and disposition of some menus; Refactoring.
  • Make sure the information about the main script is always visible in the dependency graph, even if the main script does not use or define any submodels.
  • Removed unused method argument.
  • Formatting.
  • Added application name and version to the menu bar.
  • Changed description for EGOMLX file type to make its use more clear.
  • Used flag to treat missing submodels as errors when copying scripts.

    1. Also apply the generation of the submodel node attribute to the initial node of the dependency graph;
    2. Defined method to retrieve only the direct dependents of a submodel node;
    3. Defined method to retrieve only the direct dependencies of a submodel node;
    4. Fixed error where the submodel dependencies and dependents could be returned in the wrong order;
    5. Fixed bug when comparing two submodel dependencies nodes;
    6. Defined additional query method to test if a submodel node has unknown access type;

  • Simplified definition of method used for applying changes to submodels when saving or running scripts.
  • Fixed error where the topological sorting would exclude the main script from the result.
  • Added documentation.
  • Added current submodel node to the list of arguments passed to construct an attribute when building the submodel dependency graph.
  • Added parameter to getDependencies() e getDependents() to control if the resulting list of nodes should be sorted topologically.

  • Fixed bug where submodels that have two or more of the same dependencies coming from different sources would fail the equality test.
  • Refactor the Script Runner.
  • Fix a regression where the execution cancellation works only in debug mode (caused by commit 'Refactor the debug monitoring process.').
  • Fixes errors that would cause the script monitoring to keep several copies of the same submodel, if the submodel script were replaced by another one.
