Changes since the last release

Changes in unreleased version 2.6.2a1

Improvements

1. Added a module to simulate rheostatically controlled railcars (acceleration + regenerative brake by field control).
2. A new class OBESS_Voltage_Controlled, the simulation model for the on-board energy storage system which controls its charge/discharge current based on the present line voltage.

Bug fixes and program modifications

1. Suppressed the use of class StrPrintf.
2. In rf_ffile.cc,  fixed the error message printed by a routine that checks the cycle time of the N file.

Changes in unreleased version 2.6.2a2

Improvements

1. Added the function to print the version number and exit. This is invoked by giving the command line option -o -v to the RTSS executable.

Bug fixes and program modifications

1. Fixed constructor bugs in class OBESS_Voltage_Controlled.
2. In EnergyStorage.cc, fixed bugs that access out-of-range memory space.
3. Eliminated use of class StrPrintf, and removed StrPrintf.hh file.
4. Modified so that RTSS now compiles with GCC 4.5.0.
5. Altered the name of the directory in which object codes are created during compilation.

Changes in unreleased version 2.6.2a3

Improvements

1. XML-ised the G file.

Bug fixes and program modifications

1. Modified so that -Wall option will not yield any warnings when compiled with GCC 4.5.0.
2. In OBESS_Voltage_Controlled.cc, fixed bugs that access out-of-range memory space.
3. Fixed bugs in the calculation of regenerative current in the rheostatic controll module.
4. Fixed Makefiles so that -DSJIS_ICONV option is by default no longer given during compilation.

Changes in unreleased version 2.6.2a4

Improvements

1. In XML G file, enabled copying of data to be given by <gradient>, <curvature> and <speed_restriction> tags from the data given in another data set using their "ref" attribute.

Changes in version 2.6.2

Document modification

1. Altered the license-related documents because GNU libiconv is no longer used by default.
