The Model Railroad System is a software package
that can help you run your railroad. It allows you
to operate your layout, from running trains to
working your signals and switches. It has support
for a network of Bruce Chubb CMR/I USIC, SUSIC,
and/or SMINI nodes, and/or a network of Lenz’s
XPressNet DCC nodes. Software to create switch
lists for freight car forwarding and create
timetables for your railroad are included. There
is software to help with photographing your
trains, and to compute the correct value for those
pesky dropping resistors for LEDs and/or
incandescent lamps.
Changes: All internal documentation (developer docs) was converted to use doxygen. Doc++ and Tcl2Tex are no longer used. Man pages are now generated from the sources, both for developer docs (man3) and user docs (man1 and man8). This will insure that the man pages will be in sync with the program code. Desktop/start menu support files (.desktop and .png icons) were added. The MS-Windows installer adds a sub-menu to the Start menu and puts links to all of the programs there. This should make things easier for the point-and-click crowd. All of the C++ library code is in C++ namespaces.
