ADMB Changelog

What's new in ADMB 11.1

• Updated Visual Studio nmake build files.
• Improved Unix build files. Only outdated files are rebuilt.
• Note: Building from source will create distribution folder in build/dist instead of build/os-comiler-arch.
• Combined mulitple libraries to a single library 'libadmb.a'.
• Reverted some algorithms to previous version-9 code.
• The compilation scripts (adcomp, adlink, admb) compile in "safe" mode by default.
• To build with optimized libraries use option: $ admb -O model.tpl
• added 's' option with the Ctrl^C
• contributed libraries are built with the main libraries.
• flex is not needed to build ADMB, but it is needed to develop the tpl2cpp.lex and tpl2rem.lex files.
• New Features:
• admb script can now build tpl models without the need to set ADMB_HOME or PATH. For example,
• [~/admb-11.1/examples/admb/simple/]$ ~/admb-11.1/admb simple
• Functions from user-contributed packages can be loaded from directory 'contrib'.
• New class 'init_table' to read input data into a matrix.
• New function sumsq() to calculate sum of squared values, equivalent to norm2().
• New constant PI for 3.141593... Makes models more portable than using M_PI or other compiler-specific constants.
• New shell command 'ad2csv' to write binary files to screen or to a file.
• admb is now able to handle .obj, .cpp and .tpl files on the commandline.
• Bug Fixes:
• Catch exit errors for adlink and adcomp.
