A new stable release of SyncroSim (2.5.9), a new CRAN release of rsyncrosim (1.5.0), and a new conda-forge release of pysyncrosim (1.1.0) are now available.

Since the previous stable release of SyncroSim (v2.4.44), the following enhancements have been made:

  1. Updated the way that users publish Libraries to SyncroSim Cloud, allowing for more flexibility in selecting Scenarios for publishing, as well as selecting specific maps and charts. See the video or written tutorials for updated instructions on how to publish SyncroSim Libraries to SyncroSim Cloud.
  2. Removed the dependency on .Net Framework for creating charts and maps in SyncroSim. As a result, the console commands for creating charts and maps from the command line interface have been updated. See the documentation for instructions on how to interact with the new Chart and Map Console.
  3. Added conda support for users working with SyncroSim on Linux.
  4. Various minor bug fixes.

Since the previous CRAN release of rsyncrosim (v1.4.9), general bug fixes have been made in addition to the following major enhancements:

  1. Removed the published() function that used to allow a user to tag a folder for publication to SyncroSim Cloud. Currently, users can only publish Libraries using the SyncroSim User Interface.
  2. Added two new arguments to the datasheet() function:
    1. returnScenarioInfo – allows the user to return metadata about the Scenario (ex. Scenario ID, Scenario Name, Project ID, Parent ID, and Parent Name) directly into the output dataframe.
    1. returnInvisible – allows the user to retrieve columns that are normally invisible in the SyncroSim User Interface. These columns were previously returned by the datasheet() function, but have now been hidden by default since they are columns that are internal to the SyncroSim Package and should only be modified by the developer.
  3. Fixed a bug in the folder() function that threw an error when trying to retrieve an existing folder after Scenario Dependencies had been added to the Library.

For more details regarding updates to the latest rsyncrosim release, read the CRAN rsyncrosim release notes here.

Since the previous pysyncrosim release (v1.0.37), the following enhancements have been made:

  1. Removed the published() method from the Folder class that used to allow a user to tag a folder for publication to SyncroSim Cloud. Currently, users can only publish Libraries using the SyncroSim User Interface.
