We are pleased to announce new release of BioUML platform.
New 2018.2 version is now available at bio-store.org.

New features and improvements:

• SBGN
  
  • Visualization erros fixed
  • Automatic creation of complexes from string (e.g. “A:B”)
  • PantherDB and CellDesigner models support improved (as SBGN diagrams)
• SBML
  
  • L3v2 supported, including:
    
    • rateOf, rem, quotinent functions, min and max with arbitrary number of arguments
    • boolean values now may be mixed with numeric (e.g. x = false + 10)
    • find more details here
    • All tests from current test suite were passed successfully (see details here)
  • Constraints supported (3 options: ignore them, stop simulation or just log message)
• Diagrams
  
  • Copy\paste of diagram elements
• Antimony
  
  • gene<-> species conversion fixed
• Simulation
  
  • Fast reactions handling enhanced: user can select whether to handle them as algebraic systems or as ODE systems with very high rate
  • Automatic detection of species variable type implemented (Not used, Calculated, Differential, Algebraic, Discrete, Parameter)
  • Parameters identifiability analysis: added option to select type of image (png or chart)
• Workflows:
  
  • Option to ignore failed steps and continue if possible
  • Option to skip steps if they were completed on previous runs
  • Visualization erros fixed
• Data analysis and tables
  
  • TreeMap on Functional classification on Gene Ontology
  • Tabular data visualization using pie chart or bar chart.
  • Super Annotate Table (annotates one table by another)
  • Export tables with images to zhtml file
• Unused libraries excluded from build
