Changes from 0.3 to 0.4¶
New features¶
added more detail about context agent ownership and stack agents are bad. (7682c6c)
changed clone methods to use context-arg constructor (eaede68)
changed xml Init[Core/Module]Member fan methods to be InitFrom chain. Gave agent class a default val for spec_ to facilitate testing of xml init methods. (3efb2b6)
renamed InitCoreMembers to InitFrom (f6e0add)
fixed deploy self as parent bug in xmlfileloader. Agent class removes ‘this’ from context agent_list_ in destructor to prevent some segfaults when agents are allocated on the stack causing a double delete (one by runtime and one by context). Put guard on context::DelAgent to only delete if the agent is in the agent_list_ (53ec514)
made context agent management more universal. Made agent_list_ a std::set. added doc comment about context agent management. minor tweaks (45efa47)
removed agent_list getters from context class. agent list is now entirely context-private (4b18f0d)
updated exclusivity adjustment. this bug wasn’t evident (or testable) because capacity-constraints will cause tomatch < remain which then will by definition be tomatch < excl_val of arc. all tests pass and alls well. (0ee97f2)
made greedy algorithm a little simpler for exclusive arcs (deb90a0)
added a namespace specifically for solver testing (9eaa900)
exclusive bids now supported and tested (a098999)
smaller hdf5 table chunk size and turn compression on (a3c4e98)
trimmed fat from cyclus.rng.in and finished rng cleanup. (e1928dd)
added authorship file (f021d01)
moved test objects off the heap, fixes the building manager tests (d6d60e9)
renamed timeagent ta vars to timelistener tl vars (3728fa0)
removed boost date stuff from timer (60df1c9)
renamed timeagent to timelistener and methods to just tick/tock. removed daily tasks (4b07b64)
renamed EventManager to Recorder and renamed Event to Datum and EventBackend to RecBackend (8d2b9a6)
initialized more members of the exchange node struct (3193d72)
updated the initfrom interface to be easier to use/more intuitive (b2ba4e1)
made context more resource generic (ed39a0d)
buffers default to having a capacity (8497bf5)
added a context helper for a facility with many input and output recipes and commodities (13cffc7)
added a hook for the context to register a facility (136d13a)
added a resource exchange class (4a810d9)
added request portfolios and associated tests. required notion of equality of capacity constraints and requests and required notion of ordering of capacity constraints for use as a map key, so I added an id member and associated < operator. (f464cb8)
added request class and associated tests for materials (202048c)
