Hi all,

The first release candidate for the CellML API 1.11 (1.11-rc1) has been
released. This release candidate will become the CellML API 1.10 if
no-one reports any problems with it by next Wednesday (New Zealand
time). Please try out the the API and report any problems on the
Physiome Tracker at https://tracker.physiomeproject.org/, by e-mailing
cellml-tools-developers at cellml.org (you will need to subscribe to the
list first using this page:
http://lists.cellml.org/mailman/listinfo/cellml-tools-developers), or by
e-mailing ak.miller at auckland.ac.nz.

The files making up this release candidate are available here:
* http://www.cellml.org/tools/downloads/cellml_api/releases/1.11rc1

New features and bugfixes:
* The CellML Generics and Reflection Service lets you write code that
can access the list of available API services, operations, and
attributes. This can be used to write generic code that works over the
entire API without needing to hard-code the details of the part of the
API being called. This has application for creating certain types of
user interfaces, as well as for creating language bindings.
* The Python bindings have been re-written and are now shipped as a
Python egg, separately from the CellML API itself. The new Python
bindings use the Generics & Reflection service to provide a more
idiomatic and more convenient interface to the CellML API from Python.
* A number of bugfixes have been made, including bugfixes to the code
generation which could have resulted in bad numerical results.
* The C++ interface has been revised to be more idiomatic - strings
are now returned using the STL std::string and std::wstring types, and
sequences are returned as std::vector types. Objects are returned using
the already_AddRefd wrapper so users no longer need to use the
RETURN_INTO_OBJREF macro to manage reference counts easily, instead they
can simply assign into an ObjRef. The RETURN_INTO_OBJREF macros remain
available for legacy code.

Best wishes,
Andrew
