New in Version 0.5.186

New Features

• Variables in domains are represented by instances of class variable, instead of integers. The same variable may appear in more than one domain.

• Domain levels are always in the order: topmost, …, 2, 1, 0 where level 0 is for terminal nodes. As such, level mapping is no longer necessary.

• For convenience, there is a new function

  MEDDLY::createDomainBottomUp(...)
  

  which combines domain creation and variable initialization.

• There are new functions to destroy objects,

  MEDDLY::destroyDomain(...)
  MEDDLY::destroyForest(...)
  

  and these must be used instead of delete.

Deprecated Functions

Now deprecated	Equivalent replacement
domain::getTopVariable()	domain::getNumVariables()
domain::getVariableAbove(v)	v+1
domain::getVariableBelow(v)	v-1
expert_domain::getVariableHeight(v)	v
expert_domain::getVariableWithHeight(h)	h

Known Issues

• Calling MEDDLY::cleanup() can sometimes cause a segmentation fault. Destroying all domains before calling cleanup() seems to fix this.
