New expression system support extended to all Parameter specifications:
- Arbitrary Parameter reference expressions allowed for any Parameter(previously supported non-reference expressions only)
- Expressions supported in extraction specifier estimates and bounds
- Extracted Parameters can be any linear combination of other extracted Parameters
- Defined and implicit extracted parameters can be nonlinear in extracted Parameters
Link and Link Static and Dynamic aspect scaling parameters (XScl, FScl, RScl,
...) are no longer incorporated into the Parameter value: instead they are
applied internally but remain separate Parameters. This change affects the
value of Parameters that reference Parameters with active scaling compared with
earlier releases: apply the same scaling to the referencing Parameter to obtain
the same effect as before. Note that Link references now bring over those
scaling Parameters if not specified in the referencing Link, so that behavior is
not altered.
Extended Parameter block repeat count supporting the forms (for repeat count n):
- n(expression)
- n{reference}
- n#
- n?
in addition to the previous forms:
Parameter references no longer warn about incompatible units since reference
expressions can be complex and may contain the necessary conversion factors.
Dropped obsolete Symmetric tag for StaticSE/SI aspects: Use Var=S instead.
StaticEE aspects can't extract P with deflection scaling (XScl) (other than the default 1.0).
Linux and GCC 3.4, 4.1, and 4.2 compatibility updates.
