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.
Added script resources/examples/download_qvbs.sh to download the QVBS.
If an option is unknown, Storm now suggests similar option names.
Flagged several options as 'advanced' to clean up the --help-message. Use --help all to display a complete list of options.
Support for the new round operator in the PRISM language.
Support for parsing of exact time bounds for properties, e.g., P=? [F=27 "goal"].
Export of optimal schedulers when checking MDPs with the sparse engine (experimental). Use --exportscheduler <filename>.
JANI: Allow bounded types for constants.
JANI: Support for non-trivial reward accumulations.
JANI: Fixed support for reward expressions over non-transient variables.
DRN: Added support for exact parsing and action-based rewards.
DRN: Support for placeholder variables which allows to parse recurring rational functions only once.
Fixed sparse bisimulation of MDPs (which failed if all non-absorbing states in the quotient are initial).
Support for export of MTBDDs from Storm.
Support for k-shortest path counterexamples (arguments -cex --cextype shortestpath)
New settings module transformation for Markov chain transformations. Use --help transformation to get a list of available transformations.
Support for eliminating chains of Non-Markovian states in MAs via --eliminate-chains.
Export to dot format allows for maximal line width in states (argument --dot-maxwidth <width>)
storm-conv can now apply transformations on a prism file.
storm-dft: Support partial-order for state space generation.
storm-dft: Compute lower and upper bounds for number of BE failures via SMT.
storm-dft: Support for constant failed BEs. Use flag --uniquefailedbe to create a unique constant failed BE.
storm-dft: Support for probabilistic BEs via PDEPs.
Fixed linking with Mathsat on macOS.
Fixed compilation for macOS Mojave.
Several bug fixes.

- several jani-related bug fixes
New binary storm-conv that handles conversions between model files
New binary storm-pomdp that handles the translation of POMDPs to pMCs.
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
Bug fix in the parser for DRN (MDPs and MAs might have been affected).

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

Version 1.2.1 (2018/02)

Multi-dimensional reward bounded reachability properties for DTMCs.
storm-dft: transformation of DFTs to GSPNs
Several bug fixes

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
Support for Multi-objective multi-dimensional reward bounded reachability properties for MDPs.
RationalSearch method to solve equation systems exactly
WalkerChae method for solving linear equation systems with guaranteed convergence
Performance improvements for sparse model building
Performance improvements for conditional properties on MDPs
Automatically convert MA without probabilistic states into CTMC
Fixed implemention of Fox and Glynn' algorithm
storm-pars: support for welldefinedness constraints in mdps.
storm-dft: split DFT settings into IO settings and fault tree settings
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

Multi-objective model checking support now fully included
Several improvements in parameter lifting
Several improvements in JANI parsing
Properties can contain model variables
