History of Releases

Version 1.1.1136

release date: January 14 2022
installation files available here
implements a simulation inspector, allowing the user to single-step through and backtrace the execution of a simulation
added volume rendering as a heatmap to plot the results of three-dimensional simulations
adds the ability to specify floating-point precision in text outputs of simulation results
adds tooltip text to the title of each window to display the name of the originating reaction file
adds a Close All Plots button to the scheme window
each simulation now tracks the total number of events simulated
simplified communication between GUI and simulation engine
reformatted debug output
The following bugs were fixed:
- corrected representation of an unsigned integer as a signed integer in the simulation engine
- corrected an error that occurred when the user sets limits in waterfall plots
- corrected an error that produced spurious and confusing line segments in two-dimensional plots
- corrected the creation of a malformed XDMF file when multiple species were specified

release date: January 13 2020
installation files available here
Improved readability on MacOS user interface operating in dark mode
added a script file for conveniently starting Kinetiscope on some Linux versions
implemented a direct export of 3D simulation results without first creating a 3D plot window

release date: October 28 2019
open plot windows are saved when a reaction scheme file is closed or when a simulation is started (user-selectable behavior)
the user can now select the file name when exporting an XDMF file
in 3D plots, plot orientation angles can now be manually entered
several utility buttons that perform common actions have been added to the Simulation Settings|General Settings page
improved operation of 3D plot windows on MacOS to be more consistent with other platform behaviors
improved handling of strings containing unicode and international characters
new options have been added to the Simulation Settings|Options page for tuning simulation speed
the About dialog now displays Kinetiscope's memory usage
several improvements in initializing concentration from external text files
the user may now resume a simulation that has reached a preset elapsed time limit or an event count limit
a surface plot may be exported as a two-dimensional matrix of points in csv format
added the ability to import and export reaction steps and transfer steps in text format from/to csv files
The following bugs were fixed:
- export of a concentration plot from a surface plot window is now scaled correctly
- fixed locale issue that confused the meaning of commas and decimal points on non-English language platforms
- modified wrapped transfer paths so that they have editable color attributes
- fixed issue when file paths contain Hangul characters

release date: November 26 2017
