Dear colleagues,

New version of BioUML workbench have been released.
http://www.biouml.org/download.shtml?0.7.6/download

This is a brief overview of main features of new vesrion:

1. Preferences.
This version introduce new Preferences concept. It allows any plug-in
easily store its preferences
in XML file and provides dialog for preferences editing by a user.

2. Look and feels.
Currently BioUML workbench allows user to specify his favorite look
and feel and theme (if selected look and feel supports themes) using
Preferences dialog.
There is special extension point that allows a plug-in to contribute
new look and feels and their themes.

3. ODE solver for stiff problems.
New ODE solver for Java simulation engine was added.
It allows to solve stiff problems using Imex algorithm.
Additionally BioUML workbench now provides registry of available ODE
solvers and extension point that allows a plug-in developer
to contribute their ODE solvers to the registry.

4. User interface for rules and events.
Initial user interface was provided for creating and editing
rules and events. Currently it works only for BioULM "Pathway
simulation" diagram type, but will be adopted for SBML diagrams soon.

5. Performance improvements.
Loading and code generation for huge SBML models
have been optimised significantly.

With best regards,
BioUML team
