====== What is New in Dinamica EGO 7.4.0 ======

(ChangeLog compared to [[what_is_new_7_3_0|Dinamica EGO 7.3.0]].)

===== Dinamica NUI (Application Graphical User Interface) =====

  * Removed mentions and licenses of tools that are no longer used by the application.

  * Added warning message for submodel submissions without description or documentation link to the store.

===== Dinamica Image Viewer =====

  * (None)

===== Dinamica NUI Utils (Graphical User Interface Utilities) =====

  * Fixed some analysis warning emitted by Netbeans.

===== Dinamica (Application Core and DLLs) =====

  * Definition of facility to control sleeping and waking up of tasks, similarly to how conditional variables work (wait and notify).

  * Formatting.

  * Definition of method to explicitly lock again a Lockable, if necessary.

  * Defined entities Premise/Future to easily transfer values between tasks; Added task cases.

  * Use string_view to optimize Script content allocation.

  * Changed notion of port peers to be related to ports themselves instead of using data holders.

  * Refactoring code related to copy-optimization of data flows between functors: Removed unnecessary functions, unused parameters and use of lambdas; Added test cases.

  * Fixed compilation warning: removed unused parameter.

  * Fixed typo.
 
  * Updated Descriptable so that the entity can own or not the names and descriptions given to it.

  * Fixed compilation warnings.

  * Removed definition of NameOwnedFunctor:
    - Used the ownership/non-ownership capabilities for name and description provided by Descriptable class;
    - Adapted HollowFunctor and SubmodelFunctor to NameOwnedFunctor no longer being necessary (that fixes a problem where retrieving functor and port information during destruction will return garbage due to NameOwnedFunctor being destructed before the base Functor).

  * Refactoring: definition and use of method to calculate progress percentage.

  * Fixed behavior to optimize the performance when loading maps using only single thread: use of MapIOHandler::readMap().

  * Added capability to MapIOHandler to report progress when reading and writing maps; Modified LoadMap, LoadCategoricalMap and SaveMap to use the capability provided by MapIOHandler to report progress when reading and writing maps.

  * Avoided copying the functions corresponding to CancellationTests when passing them around.

  * Added test to verify if GeoTiff images storing signed 8-bit integers are read correctly (how signed 8-bit integers are stored by images was changed by GDAL 3.7+).

  * Added additional test cases for parallel and sequential map loading using MapUtils::loadMap().

  * Added test cases demonstrating a crash when running R in parallel loops.

  * Fixed comment typo.

  * Temporary fix to improve the response of Calculate R Expression (no longer retrieves error and standard output only after the execution is completed).

  * Replaced the use of SystemProcess with SystemUtils::runUtility(); Modified runUtility() to allow better control of where the resulting information is logged.

  * Make the CalculateRExpression output fully compatible with the result of the previous versions.

  * Changed behavior of SystemProcess to allow retrieving only lines of the standard output/error output that are fully complete; Changed the API to move the incomplete line buffering out of InternalSystemProcess.

  * Updated version to 7.4.0; Updated codename.

  * Added warning messages for submodels lacking port documentation.

===== Dinamica (Installer) =====

  * Updated version to 7.4.0.

===== Dinamica (R integration) =====

  * (None)
