=== Release notes ===
^(a)^ On Windows 64-bit, to use Dymola a C/C++ compiler is required which can generate 64-bit executable and libraries.

This version contains the following updates:

 1. Fixed a bug that was causing system environment variables to be ignored.
 1. The example files have been updated for !EnergyPlus 8.5.0.
 1. The BCVTB support for Windows 32 bit has been discontinued.
 1. This version has been compiled with Java (1.8.0_77 64-bit). It has been tested on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit), Windows (7 and 8.1 64-bit), Mac OS X (10.10.5 64-bit) with latest releases of !EnergyPlus (8.5.0), MATLAB (R2016a), and Dymola (2016 FD01).
 1. The development site of the BCVTB was migrated from svn to github (https://github.com/lbl-srg/bcvtb).

Download

The BCVTB release includes the binary files that are compiled for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

To install the BCVTB, proceed as follows:

  1. Follow the user installation instruction. This is sufficient for most users.

  2. Next, if you like to develop new code for Ptolemy or for the BCVTB interface, follow the developer installation instruction.

Note for users of Microsoft Internet Explorer: Internet Explorer may save the file with the extension .zip instead of .jar. To avoid this, click "Save Target As..." (using the right mouse button) and then enter the name of the installation file, for example, bcvtb-install-win64-v1.6.0.jar. (Or use Firefox to avoid this problem.)
