This is a bugfix release intended to address issues, see "Corrections" below. Items not marked (4.2.1) correspond to the original release 4.2.

New functionalities

• ANR-220: display simulation execution progress in multi-execution table
• ANR-331: ParameterEditor no longer reorders parameters by default
• ANR-334: simulation post-processing tools are launched concurrently
• ANR-349: when a module fails, keep running the simulation as far as possible
• ANR-351: generation values for iteration arithmetic sequences are now persisted
• ANR-362, 363: openSF UI responsiveness improvements in multi-executions
• DMS-387: show a browse button for scalar FILE parameters in openSF

Corrections

• (4.2.1) DMS-696: fix openSF moving parameter elements around in configuration files
• (4.2.1) DMS-697: fix ParameterEditor bug that caused some parameters to be renamed on saving
• ANR-342, 343: the iterations table no longer allows custom values
• ANR-344: simulation editor side panel no longer blocks most UI interactions
• ANR-345: parameter validity text improved
• ANR-346: clearer error message if mpstat is not installed (Linux)
• ANR-347: the simulation edition view is no longer reloaded on save
• ANR-348: Wayland issues workaround applied by default in menu/desktop launchers (Linux)
• ANR-352: fix error message not being shown by openSF on failed database creation/import
• ANR-354: openSF no longer swallows parameters with "TimeConfiguration" in the name
• ANR-356: multi-execution table no longer scrolls back to the top on its own
• ANR-357: opening an element multiple times now focuses its tab instead of opening a new one
• ANR-358: closing a simulation execution view opened from a multi-execution no longer offers aborting it
• ANR-360: fix openSF and PE issues with XML processing instructions before the root element
• ANR-364: status of I/O nodes in simulation execution graphical view is refreshed more readily
• ANR-365: ParameterEditor no longer duplicates a parameter when renaming it
• DMS-669: openSF no longer displays the GCF parameters ungrouped
• DMS-678: openSF and PE now remove the deprecated "value" attribute when writing configuration files
• DMS-683: fix the simulation results log table filtering and sorting functionalities
• DMS-686: openSF now launches modules with the working directory specified by the E2E-ICD

Known bugs and issues

• In macOS, table columns stop auto-resizing when their size is manually changed. This is due to a bug in the underlying Eclipse RCP, with Eclipse bug id #564840.
• ANR-339: in Linux, the simulation editor GUI can be unstable, especially while using Wayland-based graphics. A workaround is to launch openSF with the environment variable "GDK_BACKEND" set to the value "x11".
