Errors in NLGetAgentSet, NLGetGraph, NLGetPatches, NLSetAgentSet, NLSetPatches, NLSetPatchSet sind language update in NetLogo 6.0 fixed
Update to NetLogo 6.0
Adding optional parameter in NLStart to specify name of netlogo.jar file as the name contains the version number in the name since NetLogo 6.0.0.
Update to NetLogo 5.3
Changes in internal architecture of holding S4 class object for conformity to CRAN policy
Supporting older Java version again (addressing "Unsupported major.minor version" error, however, using Java version before 8.0 is deprecated)
Removing support for NetLogo 4.x (no nl.version argument in NLStart anymore)
Removing performanceNotes vignette
Fixing CRAN policy violation.
Update of manual pages and code examples.
Official release in together with the publication in Journal of Statistical Software
Update of manual pages and code examples.
Massive performance improvements in NLSetAgentSet, NLSetPatches, NLSetPatchSet
Change in NLSetPatchSet: identifies columns in the input data.frame by name. Expects pxcor, pycor (and, in case of 3D, pzcor) columns.
NLStart(<nl.path>, ...) failed with: Error in .jnew("nlcon/Preprocess") : java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: nlcon/Preprocess : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0. This happend when using Java versions before 7. The .jar files are now compiled with support up to Java 5.
several bug fixes and changes in manual pages, code examples and tutorial
Change.log moved to NEWS.Rd. Therefore, news() function is supported now.
Argument obj.name in NLStart is replaced by nl.obj. In all other functions nl.obj is now also a string instead of an reference to NetLogo. References are handled internally, now, and no global variables are created anymore.
More clear working directory handling strategy: stores the working directory active before creating the first NetLogo instance. Reset to this wd after closing the last active NetLogo instance.
New all argument in NLQuit to close/quit all open NetLogo instances.
Just a fix to fulfill CRAN policy: limit max. parallel processes in vignette parallelProcessing.Rnw to 2 core.
Update of manual pages.
Spelling corrections in parallelProcessing guide.
Small corrections due to package building warnings.
NLSetPatchSet added, especially usefull for NetLogo 3D as an equivalent to NLSetPatches, which works only with NetLogo 2D.
New argument max.minutes added to NLDoCommandWhile and NLDoReportWhile. It stops the execution after a defined number of minutes (default: 10), if it is > 0.
parallelProcessing.pdf and performanceNotes.pdf moved to vignettes.
Experimental function NLSetAgentSet added (may change or be deleted in future).
NetLogo 5.0 is default in NLStart (nl.version=5) –> NetLogo 5.0 is much more faster than NetLogo 4.1.x in sending values to R!
Support of NetLogo 4.0.x added (use nl.version=40 in NLStart).
Rewrite of functions NLGetAgentSet, NLGetPatches, NLGetGraph for markable speed improvements.
Default return type of NLGetAgentSet and NLGetPatches is a data.frame instead of a list.
Document "performanceNotes.pdf" added.
Document "parallelProcessing.pdf" added.
Typo in manual fixed (order of arguments in NLDoCommand).
Support for NetLogo 3D added (extra boolean argument is3d in NLStart).
Better clean up at NLQuit (but this is still a problem. NetLogo offers no clean up for all threads, they just do a System.exit, which can not be used with rJava, because it will terminate the JVM, therefore also rJava and finally R as well.)
JARs compiled against Java 1.5 now instead of Java 1.6.
