Vensim 8 has been released. It’s is now fully 64 bit on both Mac and Windows (you can still download 32 bit versions if you need to).
The Mac version has undergone some significant improvements both to stability and usability. If using DSS, also included is an external function library project, and the scripts to allow models to be compiled. We are working on a dylib for the Mac in a similar way that the Vensim DLL operates on Windows.

• All configurations of Vensim now use double floating point precision for both calculations and results storage.
• New file formats to allow compatibility with 64 bit operating systems which also allow very large datasets.
• New savelist editors speed up definition of sensitivity runs.
• Behavior graphs’ sizing can now be set.
• Improved XMILE support.
• Translations : Vensim has been translated to Spanish (click Tools->Language and select Spanish).
• Synthesim is enabled for sensitivity simulations, exploiting Vensim’s speed to make risk and uncertainty interactive.
If you’ve been using the beta or first official release (July/early August), it’s worth upgrading to the latest 8.0.1, which contains an important fix for autosaved backups.
