Faster file saving: Saving and loading *.via-files was heavily optimized. Especially large scenarios should now save and load considerably faster.

Support MATSim 0.8.0: The upcoming release of MATSim contains some major changes to Events. Via 1.7 supports the changed events’ attributes.
Furthermore, the user interface was improved in many places, standardizing dialogs and offering “Apply” buttons in many places. Visualizing data on top of Web Map Backgrounds no longer shows distortations near the edges, but perfectly matches your data onto the maps. Id Sets can be defined using filter expressions (like “pt_*” or “taxi_*”) to quickly and easily define agent groups based on common characteristics of the agent ids. Vehicle Occupancy is now available for all vehicles like taxis or ride-sharing vehicles, and not only for public transport vehicles.
