Improvements:
- Tolerate formatting irregularities such as spaces befpre or after the colon
(e.g. 'H2: 1.0')
- Allow names containing commas and semicolons
- Detect errors such as no value being supplied for the last element (e.g. 'H2')
- Single implementation handles both the case where a list of valid names is
supplied and when any name is allowed
CTML_VERSION_1_4_1 was never used, and defining CTML_VERSION_1_4 broke reading
values written by the addInteger and addFloat functions with the getInteger and
getFloat functions, respectively.
This makes it possible to use species and reactions from external CTI files,
rather than only external XML files, since the datasrc extension assumed in the
cti->xml conversion is .xml.
There are a series of activity coefficients for published battery models
which actually overflows. Cantera was treating this as a nonerror and changing
the return results without comment. This is not correct. Made the behavior a
user controlled capability.
Write plain text to the common Cantera logger to be more consistent with the
verbose/debug logging from other parts of Cantera. This simplifies several of
the transport initialization functions, and eliminates the need for class
XML_Writer.
Now the complete XML file is storred within the ThermPhase object starting with the root node.
This is needed for later processing of kinetics and transport mechanisms when the ThermoPhase
file is duplicated and the original file is deleted.
xml() is now a const function, and still returns the same pointer.
setXMLdata() is a new function will stores the xml data.
The ValueCache class is intended to standardize the method for implementing
value caching in Cantera, and to reduce the need to introduce additional member
variables to store cached variables and the thermodynamic state at which the
cached values were computed.
The initial usage is to replace the use of the m_tlast variable in IdealGasPhase
as an example.
