Changelog

This changelog lists only the most important changes. Smaller (bug)fixes as well as non-mature features are not part of the changelog. The releases of major and minor versions contain an overview of changes since the last major/minor update.

Version 1.3.x

Version 1.3.1 (under development)

  • Added support for multi-dimensional quantile queries
  • Allow to quickly check a benchmark from the Quantitative Verification Benchmark Set using the --qvbs option.
  • Allow bounded types for constants in JANI.

Version 1.3.0 (2018/12)

  • Slightly improved scheduler extraction
  • Environments are now part of the c++ API
  • Heavily extended JANI support, in particular:

  • Maximal progress assumption is now applied while building Markov Automata (sparse engine).
  • Improved Unif+ implementation for Markov Automata, significantly reduced memory consumption.
  • Added support for expected time properties for discrete time models

  • Sound value iteration (SVI) for DTMCs and MDPs
  • Topological solver for linear equation systems and MinMax equation systems (enabled by default)

Version 1.2.0 (2017/12)

  • C++ api changes: Building model takes BuilderOptions instead of extended list of Booleans, does not depend on settings anymore.
  • storm-cli-utilities now contains cli related stuff, instead of storm-lib
  • Symbolic (MT/BDD) bisimulation
  • Fixed issue related to variable names that can not be used in Exprtk.
  • DRN parser improved
  • LP-based MDP model checking
  • Sound (interval) value iteration

  • storm-dft: removed obsolete explicit model builder for DFTs
  • Features for developers:
    • Solvers can now expose requirements
    • unbounded reachability and reachability rewards now correctly respect solver requirements
    • Environment variables (such as the solver precisions) can now be handled more flexible
    • changes to Matrix-Vector operation interfaces, in particular fixed some issues with the use Intel TBB

Version 1.1.x

Version 1.1.0 (2017/8)

  • Support for long-run average rewards on MDPs and Markov automata using a value-iteration based approach.
  • Storm can now check MDPs and Markov Automata (i.e. MinMax equation systems) via Linear Programming.
  • Parametric model checking is now handled in a separated library/executable called storm-pars.
  • Wellformedness constraints on PMCs:
    • include constraints from rewards
    • are in smtlib2
    • fixed
    • computation of only constraints without doing model checking is now supported
  • Fix for nested formulae
  • JANI: Explicit engine supports custom model compositions.
  • Support for parsing/building models given in the explicit input format of IMCA.
  • Storm now overwrites files if asked to write files to a specific location.
  • Changes in build process to accommodate for changes in carl. Also, more robust against issues with carl.
  • USE_POPCNT removed in favor of FORCE_POPCNT. The popcnt instruction is used if available due to march=native, unless portable is set. Then, using FORCE_POPCNT enables the use of the SSE 4.2 instruction
