January 21st, 2017 - Release of GNU MCSim version 5.6.6.

Version 5.6.6 fixes a bug that affected the code generated for R by mod, introduces the PerTransit input function, allows symbols in Events times and magnitudes, and extends the tempered MCMC specification.

December 9th, 2016 - Using GNU MCSim under Microsoft Windows

The basic tools needed to build and run GNU MCSim are not available to most users of Windows systems. At least two options exists:

• The R software (http://www.r-project.org/), installed together with Rtools (this requires administrator's rights), can compile and run GNU MCSim models.

  Follow this link to download the corresponding scripts, code, and README detailed instructions file.

• Pr. W. Chiu, of Texas A&M, proposes an alternative (using minGW). It requires no administrator's rights. However, only 32 bits code is generated (it is at bit slower).

September 14th, 2016 - A new input function, PerTransit(), is available.

PerTransit implements a model proposed by Savic et al. (J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn. 2007, 34:711). It extends the PerExp() input function. The new code and example files (test_transit_input/) are available on Savannah,

February 27th, 2016 - Release of GNU MCSim version 5.6.5.

Version 5.6.5 fixes a bug that got simulations stuck when using a PerDose() or PerExp() input functions.

February 27th, 2016 - "Events" (state variables discontinuities) in GNU MCSim

State variables disconstinuities can now be requested at given times. See the online user's manual.

February 27th, 2016 - Delay differential equations

GNU MCSim can now easily solve delay differential equations. A new example (examples/delay_diff_eqns/) is available.
