-------------------------------------
|co2mpas| project has been split into multiple repositories (:gh:`506`). The
`current <https://github.com/JRCSTU/CO2MPAS-TA>`_ repository contains just
|co2mpas| model. The other functionalities are installed as extra (i.e.,
`DICE <https://github.com/JRCSTU/DICE>`_,
`GUI <https://github.com/JRCSTU/co2wui>`_,
`sync <https://github.com/vinci1it2000/syncing>`_).
Important changes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main changes made in this release regards:
GUI
^^^
A new graphical user interface (`GUI <https://github.com/JRCSTU/co2wui>`_)
has replaced the previous one.
Documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All documentation has been reviewed and updated (:gh:`533`, :gh:`540`). There
are two new sections: FAQ, and Contributing to |co2mpas|. The documentation is
now stored in Read the Docs (see the `site <https://co2mpas.readthedocs.io>`_).
I/O Data & Demo
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The input excel file has been updated to version 3.1.0. (:gh:`544`), as per the
2019 amendments to Regulations (EU) 2017/1152 and 2017/1153.
The demo files have been reviewed and now four files are available
(:gh:`544`, :gh:`538`):
1. *co2mpas_conventional.xlsx*: conventional vehicle,
2. *co2mpas_simplan.xlsx*: sample simulation plan,
3. *co2mpas_hybrid.xlsx*: hybrid parallel vehicle.
4. *co2mpas_plugin.xlsx*: hybrid plugin vehicle.
Model
^^^^^
- Implemented Hybrids Electric Model for parallel, planetary, and serial
architectures (:gh:`516`, :gh:`536`, :gh:`540`, :gh:`541`). It consists of
nine electric motors (i.e., P0, P1, P2 planetary, P2, P3 front, P3 rear,
P4 front, P4 rear, and starter), one DC/DC converter, and two batteries
(i.e., service and drive batteries).
- Improved the stability of the thermal model (:gh:`458`, :gh:`498`, :gh:`516`),
the gearbox identification (:gh:`551`) and the alternator model.
- Corrected the calibration of the Start/Stop model (:gh:`512`).
- Updated the torque converter model according to VDI253 standard (:gh:`515`).
- Refined the cylinder deactivation model (:gh:`517`).
- Implemented parser for PAX tyre code (:gh:`507`).
- Added formulas to calculate the corrected |co2| emissions according to WLTP
and NEDC regulations (:gh:`539`).
Known Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Certain programs (for example Skype) could be pre-empting (or reserving)
some tcp/ip ports and therefore could conflict with |co2mpas| graphical
interface that tries to launch a web server on a port in the higher range
(> 10000).
2. Certain antivirus (for example Avast) could include python in the list of
malicious software; however, this is not to be considered harmful. If this
happens the antivirus should be disabled when running |co2mpas|, or a special
exclusion should be granted to the |co2mpas| executable.
3. If |co2mpas| is installed in Windows 7 without ServicePack-1, you will get an
error like the following::

problems (i.e., impossible to choose the input file for the synchronisation,
etc..).
