 1. The example files have been updated to use !EnergyPlus 5.0.
 1. All configurations settings are now in the file [[systemVariables-*.properties|Files/systemVariablesProperties]].
 1. The files {{{bin/setenv.sh}}} and {{{bin/setenv.bat}}} have been renamed to {{{bin/setDevelopmentEnvironment.sh}}} and {{{bin/setDevelopmentEnvironment.sh}}}.
