Announcement of release PsN 3.0.0

Dear NMusers, A new PsN version, PsN 3.0.0, is available on http://psn.sourceforge.net/ This is the first public release of PsN3. The most important new feature is partial NONMEM7 support. We plan to make a new PsN release with extended NONMEM7 support within 2-3 months. The PsN website http://psn.sourceforge.net/ has been reworked. There is a new page with installation help, more documentation on PsN configuration, and a new document with the most commonly encountered unfixed bugs and help how to work around them. /Sebastian Ueckert ------------------------------ Sebastian Ueckert, MSc PhD Student Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences Uppsala University [email protected] +46-(0)18-471 4291 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------- New features PsN 3.0.0 ---------------------- - NONMEM7 support for NONMEM6 type input PsN 3.0.0 has partial support for NONMEM7. It will handle NONMEM6 type input, i.e. single $ESTIMATION and classical estimation methods, with any PsN tool (bootstrap, scm, sse etc). PsN 3.0.0 has full support for NONMEM6. Details in README.txt - New option nmfe: There is a new commandline option -nmfe (no arguments) that can be used with any PsN tool. When enabled, PsN will invoke nmfe6 or nmfe7 to run NONMEM instead of doing stepwise compiling and execution. See psn_configuration.pdf and common_options_defaults_version.pdf for details. When nmfe is set the compiler configuration is ignored. - Compiler configuration The compiler configuration can be set differently for each NONMEM version. See psn_configuration.pdf for details. ----------------------- Platforms and compilers ----------------------- PsN 3.0.0 has been tested with NONMEM6 on: MacOS and Windows XP with ifort (Intel Fortran) compiler Ubuntu (Linux) and Windows7 with g77 compiler with NONMEM7 on: MacOS and Windows XP with ifort (Intel Fortran) compiler Ubuntu (Linux), WindowsXP and Windows7 with gfortran compiler ------------------ New documentation ------------------ -Installation instructions are found in psn_installation.pdf. -In psn_configuration.pdf it is described how to edit psn.conf to configure PsN correctly. Please read that document before running PsN for the first time. Old psn.conf files must be edited to work correctly with PsN3. -The document known_bugs_and_workarounds.pdf lists the most commonly encountered unfixed bugs and how to work around them. Documentation can be downloaded from http://psn.sourceforge.net/ User documentation is also found in PsN-Source/doc before installation, and after installation in the doc subdirectory of the PsN installation directory. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/psn-general
