Deepwoods Software is pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.20 of the Model Railroad System. This package includes a collection of libraries and programs designed to help the modeler with many of the more tedious aspects of his or her hobby. Included are libraries for communication with Chubb and Lenz XPressNet networks, a user-mode driver for the Rail Driver control console, a library to parse XTrkCAD layout files, as well as utilities for computing dropping resistors, camera view areas, creating railroad time tables, and a switch-list based freight car forwarder system. There are several updates in this release:
A new library has been added: a version of the XTrkCad parser that uses the Boost Graph Library. Along with this library, a version of Dispatcher is included that uses this new library. Both the older version of the XTrkCad parser library (non-Boost) and the newer one are available, along with both versions of the Dispatcher program. Eventually, the non-Boost versions will be depreciated and eventually removed from the system.
A minor bug in the Dispatcher code has been fixed.
Minor bugs in some of the documention have been fixed.
