Breaking Changes

  • Added support for NetLogo 7.0.1 and above. This NetLogo patch release changed the XML structure of BehaviorSpace experiments; logolink now supports the new format. See this GitHub issue to learn more.

New Features and Improvements

  • Added lifecycle as a dependency.
  • Added the parameter timeout to run_experiment() to specify the maximum time (in seconds) to wait for an experiment to complete before terminating it.
  • Added support for non-tabular data in run_experiment(). The function now prints those outputs to the console.
  • Added find_netlogo_home(), find_netlogo_console(), and find_netlogo_version(). These functions use heuristics to automatically detect NetLogo installations on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Added the parameter file to create_experiment(), allowing the user to specify the output file path for the generated BehaviorSpace experiment XML file.
  • Added new unit tests.
  • Deprecated the netlogo_path argument in run_experiment(). The package now tries to automatically detect the NetLogo installation using helper functions. Users can still manually specify the path to NetLogo; see the updated documentation for details.
  • Improved the heuristics in parse_netlogo_list().
  • Improved the documentation.
