News/2008-05-06 - Released new documentation

The documentation has been improved (see http://docs.openwns.org). A very initial version of a User Manual has been added and the documentation can now be easily searched across modules. A developer guide and more examples are planned for the future.

News/2008-04-03 - Added initial version of a tutorial

The tutorial explains basic things like, scheduling events and taking measurements.

See here: http://docs.openwns.org/wns.queuingsystem.tutorial.htm

News/2008-03-09 - Added new event scheduler RealTime

The new event scheduler "RealTime" can be used to delay the execution of events to happen in real time. To choose the new scheduler instead of the normal event scheduler you add the following lines to the configuration:

...
import openwns.eventscheduler

...
# replace normal event scheduler by real time event scheduler
sim.environment.eventScheduler = openwns.eventscheduler.RealTime()

See also examples/MM1realtime.py.

News/2008-02-13 - New features: Module support, probes

The following features have been pushed to the trunk of the openWNS] :

• Support for modular]

• Basic support for probing (ProbeBus])

News/2008-01-15 - New build platforms available

The testing host (2 x Xeon Quad Core, 16GB RAM) is up and running. Several virtual machines have been created that now host builders for various platforms. The buildbot now continuously tests openWNS on the following platforms:

• openSUSE 10.1 * Primary Platform *

• Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy)
• Fedora 8
• Cygwin on Windows Vista Business
• Debian testing (lenny)

See http://buildbot.openwns.org for build results.

The buildbot also posts its result to a mailing list. You can subscribe to those mailing lists here:

• http://www.openwns.org/mailman/listinfo/autobuild (Low traffic, only primary platform build results)

• http://www.openwns.org/mailman/listinfo/autobuild-warnings (High traffic, all other build results)

News/2008-01-12 - Added snapshot of current development branch as tarball + new installation instructions available

Under Download you can find a snapshot of the current development branch. Installation instructions for this tarball are available here.

News/2007-12-10 - openWNS SDK compiles under Cygwin

For now at least a statically linked version of openWNS can be compiled under cygwin. Instead of

./playground.py install

you need to use

./playground.py install --static

Everything else should work as explained below. This has been tested on Windows XP with the latest available version of Cygwin.

This means openWNS compiles under Linux and Cygwin at the moment. Specifically it hass been tested on:

• Ubuntu Gutsy
• openSuSE 10.1
• Windows XP / Cygwin

  • -- MarcSchinnenburg

News/2007-12-07 - openWNS SDK available from Launchpad

After the release of the documentation and the buildbot web page yesterday (see below), the openWNS SDK has been released today. It is available from Launchpad. To checkout the latest version execute the following:

bzr branch https://launchpad.net/~comnets/openwns-sdk/sdk--main--1.0 myOpenWNS
cd myOpenWNS
./playground.py upgrade --noAsk

After this you can compile the current version:

./playground.py install

and run the tests

cd tests/unit/unitTests/
./openwns -t -v

Then you should see something like this:

...
[TST] wns::events::scheduler::tests::MapInterfaceTest::testOnScheduleDelay                      [OK]   0.000052 s
[TST] wns::events::scheduler::tests::MapInterfaceTest::testOnAddEvent                           [OK]   0.000048 s
[TST] wns::events::scheduler::tests::MapInterfaceTest::testCancelLastEventAfterEndOfSimulation  [OK]   0.000194 s
[TST] wns::events::scheduler::tests::MapInterfaceTest::testCancelAlreadyCanceledEvent           [OK]   0.001016 s

[TST] wns::events::scheduler::tests::MapInterfaceTest::testCancelCurrentlyProcessedEvent        [OK]   0.001271 s



OK (195 tests)

The SDK and the APIs of the framework are not stable yet. But you may want to take a look right now.
