2.3.0

2.3.0

Highlights

This release adds a new algorithm for output space exploration. The way in which convergence tracking for optimization is supported has been overhauled completely, see the updated directed search user guide for full details. The documentation has moreover been expanded with a comparison to Rhodium.

With this new release, the installation process has been improved by reducing the number of required dependencies. Recommended packages and connectors can now be installed as extras using pip, for example pip install -U ema-workbench[recommended,netlogo]. See the updated installation instructions for all options and details.

The 2.3.x release series supports Python 3.8 to 3.11. It can be installed as usual via PyPI, with:

pip install --upgrade ema-workbench
