Dezyne and Dezyne-IDE 2.13.1 released

August 17, 2021

We are delighted to announce Dezyne 2.13.1: The simulator function including system scope.

This replaces the simulation function that was moved from Dezyne Core in release 2.10 to Dezyne-IDE in release 2.11. The new simulator function provides a basic command-line interface in Dezyne Core and is now also integrated in the Dezyne-IDE.

The integrated Trace view of the simulator was rewritten in P5, using the new Dezyne-P5 project by Rob Wieringa which he developed as free software. The buttons for events that are outside the accepted behaviour are only greyed-out and can still be selected to inspect what happens if the event would occur.

The integrated System view was also rewritten in P5, removing the last dependency on third-party proprietary software.

Finally, verification and simulation can now be loosely integrated on the command-line and an experimental ASCII diagram is provided by dzn trace, i.e., running

    dzn verify examples/Alarm.dzn | dzn simulate Alarm.dzn \
      | dzn trace --format=diagram

gives

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify dezyne-2.13.1-x86_64-linux.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it:

gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org \
  --recv-keys 1A858392E331EAFDB8C27FFBF3C1A0D9C1D65273 AD43109BE73D4891B77076862A611108640C1816

and rerun the gpg --verify command.

About Dezyne

In Dezyne, you define components and their interfaces through a familiar and compact C/Java like-language. The Dezyne language is targeted at the logic or event-driven behaviour of an application. The interfaces are the specification and the components are the implementation.

Dezyne automatically verifies semantic correctness of the logic behaviour and proves that the components correctly implement the interfaces. A user can simulate the behaviour to validate whether this is as intended. Diagrams and logical views are generated automatically from the language description. As a final step code can be generated in a number of standard programming languages.

Without having to rely on a process Dezyne automatically highlights problems areas, stimulates communication about these and enforces that components work together.
