ANN: SimPy 1.4.1 discrete event simulation package

[Klaus Muller]

It is our pleasure to announce the release of SimPy 1.4.1, a maintenance=20
release of SimPy 1.4.

It can be downloaded via the SimPy homepage http://simpy.sourceforge.net.

What is new?
------------
This release makes no changes to the SimPy API. It repairs two bugs and=20
improves on the unit test coverage:

Resource
--------
	- To repair a bug with monitoring the activeQ of a
            Resource instance, method _release in class Resource
            has been changed in modules Simulation.py,
            SimulationRT.py, SimulationTrace.py and
            SimulationStep.py

testSimpy.py
------------
         - This unit test module has been enhanced with a unit
           test for monitored Resources.

cellphone.py
------------
       - This example had a programming error and has been
          corrected.
File names
----------
       -  All file names in the source distributions have been made
          =93Unix-friendly=94 by changing file names containing blanks.

What is SimPy?
--------------
SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation
language package implemented in Python and released under
the GNU GPL.

It provides the modeller with building blocks for simulation
models. These include processes, for active components like
customers, messages, and vehicles, and resources, for
passive components that form limited capacity congestion
points like servers, checkout counters, and tunnels. It also
provides monitor variables to aid in gathering statistics.

SimPy has a Tkinter-based GUI and a plotting package.

SimPy comes with extensive reference and tutorial documentation.

SimPy is in use in universities, research institutes and industry.
