Version 1.6.0 is a minor release with various changes.
- Fixed a bug that was causing system environment variables to be ignored.
- The example files have been updated for EnergyPlus 8.5.0.
- The BCVTB support for Windows 32 bit has been discontinued.
- This version has been compiled with Java (1.8.0_77 64-bit). It has been tested on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit), Windows (7 and 8.1 64-bit), Mac OS X (10.10 64-bit) with latest releases of EnergyPlus (8.5.0), MATLAB (R2016a), and Dymola (2016 FD01).
- The development site of the BCVTB was migrated from svn to github.
Apple has enabled a new default security oriented featured called System Integrity Protection, often called rootless, in OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) onwards. This new feature prevents all versions of the BCVTB to run correctly. A workaround is available at #32.
