Release 7 - Packed with New Developments

While this issue of EMME/2 NEWS is dedicated to the introduction of the new release, it is by no means meant to replace the detailed Release Notes, nor the (completely revised and beautifully reformatted!) User's Manual. The intent here is simply to summarize without too many technical details some of the more important new developments, in order to get you interested exploring these new features, dig into the technical documentation and -hopefully!- soon start using some of them in your own application.

As always, we shall start the presentation of the new release with a brief overview of the main new features and enhancements. For topics which are described in more detail in one of the following sections of this issue, note the corresponding hyperlinks.

From a data bank point of view, the new permanent turn table structure is the only change in Release 7 which implies changes in the internal structure of the data bank. As the data bank is converted automatically when Release 7 is used for the first time, no special action has to be taken by the user because of this change. The introduction of this new turn structure is a primordial prerequisite for the enhancement of the network calculator to support turn calculations.

Many enhancements were added in the assignment modules, both for transit and auto assignments, as shown by the following list:

A new module has been added to the system and many modules have been enhanced significantly. The following summary shows some of the more important module-related developments:

Release 7 also contains many enhancements which are not module specific, but which apply to all modules or module groups:

Finally, the DOS version of EMTOOL has been enhanced for use with a wider range of graphic boards, in particular all VESA compliant 256-color SuperVGA modes are now supported.
