Changes in versions pre0.8 up to 0.8.3

Version 0.8.3 (07.10.2005)¶

User-relevant changes

User-relevant changes:

Simulation
XML-Trigger bug on using speed triggers removed
emission of vehicles on multi-lane source edges debugged (now all lanes are used)
Debugged the problem of vehicles stopping before the route is over (reported by Jonathan Davies)
setting tls-offsets debugged
netconvert
Computation of left-movers debugged

Please remind that several option names have changed! The most important: "net-files" (router, simulation) is now "net-file"...

Check user documentation and man-pages for this.
