-=======================================================
-
-* NOTES
-
-=======================================================
-TODO (before public release of 4.0)
-=======================================================
-
-PRIORITY (next betas)
---------
-
-* Benchmarks
-  - Get tar files online (mv all files into "files" for easier tar-ing?)
-  - Check/tidy
-  - Links to e.g CTMCs props from below CTMCs table
-  - Links from each prop to corr model table?
-  - More labels
-  - ctmc steady-state split up?
-  - unique prop names across models?
-
-* Intervals (e.g. for multiple initial states) plotted in graphs
-
-* Stat m/c
-  - Tidy up other new sim options (simmanual, simvar, simmaxrwd) ?
-  - Add MDP warning
-  - Sort initial state in sim dialog?
-    tick box for default initial
-    is there a bug in this already?
-    ready for mult init states?
-  - Result object creation pushed into SimEngine?
-    Result objects returned from SimEngine + explanation strings
-  
-* PTA fix: digital clocks just non-diagonal again for now
-* PTA fix: convex, non-diagonal, etc.
-  (see DigitalClocks.java.patch)
-  cases to consider:
-  - implications in invariants
-  - Pmax=? [ F "end" & (x<=5) ]
-  - Then: test with formats09 script
-  - Then: respond to Nico B (when live)
-
-* Doc: Adversary generation (e.g. -exportadv switch)
-* Doc: Sim switches -simmanual, -simvar <n> and -simmaxrwd <x>
-
-
-THE REST (before 4.0)
---------
-
-Documentation:
-* Fix links from tutorial to manual (and reread/tweak)
-* New -exportprism/-exportprismconst/-nobuild switches
-* New -exporttarget switch
-* Extra reach info switches?
-* Some pointers for where to start with PTAs, e.g. where examples are
-* SimulatorEngine JavaDoc
-* Update other-downloads.php
-
-Filters, property semantics, etc.
-* Integer-valued props displayed as doubles when printed as vector
-* Add "single" filter - throws error if filter states > 1?
-* Allow other filter types to be spec with {} notation?
-  and then in doc clarify P>=p[...{filter}] means & not print
-  (didn't print in 3.3 anyway, despite manual)
-* Some info lost with new filters:
-  old: Result (minimum probability): 0.0
-  new: 0.0 (value in the initial state)
-  can we merge?
-
-Action labels:
-* Check status of export/import trans wrt actions (alll models)
-* Finalise tra format with actions (needs to work with MCs too)
-  - also fix e.g. importtrans, prism-statra
-* make action storage optional (when required e.g. for export) (especially for MCs)
-
-PTAs:
-* Find a way to make PTA and multi-obj report that result
-  is just for initial state; need re-think of filters?
-* More tidying of PTA examples
-  - README files for other (non-firewire) examples
-  - comments in pctl files, missing ones into autos
-* Clarify rewards support (digital clocks)
-* More of PCTL - even just G, bounded (not =?), etc.
-* Enforce well-formedness checks (i.e. guards/resets imply target invariants)
-  (as opposed to say supporting strong invariants,
-   where targets with false invariants cannot be entered)
-  - zone-based: check during reach using valids
-    (or just during FW reach?) (nb: need to split dpost to do check)
-    (see non-well-formed.nm/pctl for a test case)
-    (if can't do that, syntax check using sat)
-  - digital clocks: check invariants after transform/reach?
-    (might be like non-pta case: doing before reach causes false alarms?)
-* Digital clocks time-bounded
-  - will need to make sure cmax is updated accordingly
-    (currently just from temporal operator time bound since no clocks in formula)
-  - also might need to access property constants (see TODO in DC.java)
-* Allow constraints of the form x-y<=c
-* Bug fix: action alphabet (syntactic) for sync lost in PTA object construction
-
-=======================================================
-Post-4.0 fixes/adds (4.0.1 etc.)
-=======================================================
-
-Integrate multi-objective?
-
-General:
-* Error (at least warning) on Pmax=? [ target ] (i.e. no F) (all models)
-
-Documentation:
-* Add DTMC/MDP case to synchronisation section
-* Check for existence of zero-reward loops
-
-PTAs:
-* On-the-fly global reachability to allow (for A-R engine):
-  - more scalable
-  - access to other local and global vars
-  - system endsystem?
-    (then test on Arnd's BRP model + Marco's + others)
-
-Simulator:
-* New display progress meter for simulation?
-* SimMethod deal with possibility of more iters than expected
-  - recalc some stats on computeMissingParameterAfterSim?
-  - max 100% for getProgress?
-  - search TODO
-* make call to setExpression earlier for earlier detection of errors?
-  (would need to pass multiple sim methods to Prism)
-  (but: consts not def yet, e.g. might not know theta)
-* merge APMC/etc. triple subclasses?
-* store log for likelihood ratio?
-* make percentage from getProgress more accurate, do mod 10 after
-* do we stil need reset() in SimMethod? Don't delete, just check
-
-General:
-* finish -explicitbuild (e.g. no labels, rewards), currently in -qar
-* postpone reward struct constr until needed?
-
-=======================================================
-=======================================================
-
-BUG (some time)
----------------
-
-Simulator:
-* approx mc of a property loses any current simulator path in gui.
-  is that ok? (seems to be buggy in 3.3.1 anyway)
-
-* prism ~/prism-examples/dice/dice.pm \
--pctl '(s=0|s=1)=>P>=1 [ (P>=0.9 [ F<=1 s=3 ])=>(P>=0.5 [ F<=2 s=4 ]) ]'
-(time-bounds should be ok in inner pctl but are not)
-
-TODO (some time)
-----------------
-
-PTAs:
-* Implement structurally non-zeno checks
-* BRP example
-* Translate non-convex guards to DNF and multiple transitions
-* Investigate whether non-convex invariants can be supported (look at zone ops)
-* Games: Optimise number of states in time-bounded PTAs
-  (extras added in old target states) using until in forwards reach?
-* Fix: Creation of new names (adding extra _s) doesn't take into account prop file ot consts etc.
-* Digital clocks: urgency?
-* Digital clocks: optimisations?
-* New version of valid2 (inv/g push outside)
-* Combined complement + intersection (terminating early) for when dbm lists get big
-* Are we ok to have non-diagonal c-closure algorithm?
-  (or is it ok if only use this on initial reach graph construction?)
-
-Simulator:
-* Variable overflow etc.
-  - would make sense to check in Update.update() because want to know offending command
-  - but need access to VarList, which we don't have
-* Investigate efficiency wrt old simulator
-* Add (back) support for *full* loop detection? (not just *single* self-loops)
-* Add (back) early manual termination of sampling (thru expt stop?)
-* Random initial state
-* Add support for "deadlock" and "init" (new EvaluationContext, model *and* state dependent)
-* Seed issues (currently twice in one second = same seed)
-* explicitbuildtest doesn't handle dupes in mdps (e.g. consensus)
-* Explicit build doesn't handle multiple initial states
-* GUI sim - add context menu to transition list with e.g. "show in model"
-* Traviendo export?
-* Code: Optimise/tidy Choices (ChoiceList/ChoiceSingleton/etc.)
-
-Other:
-* Export tr/ss probs from GUI
-* Initial distr for steady-state
-* Finish CTL
-
-Adversary generation:
-* Add adversary generation for other engines
-
-Abstraction/refinement:
-* Exp reach for games
-* Poss. refine opt: don't add ubsets of player1 choices
-
-BSCC stuff:
-* regression testing + perf. on ltl stuff with 3 diff options
-
-
-DOC (some time)
----------------
-
-Prism-multi:
-* No state rewards
