GAMS Engine
backend (GAMS MIRO Server or
GAMS MIRO Desktop - boosted by GAMS Engine).
New features
Hypercube jobs can now be submitted and imported from
the Base Mode if MIRO is connected to
GAMS Engine.
Minor new features and improvements
MIRO Pivot Tables: When adding new views for bar charts, stacked bar
charts, line charts and radar charts, you now have the
option to assign custom colors to the different series.
When downloading scenarios via the
Batch Load module, you can now select the file format from a drop-down
menu rather than via a new dialog.
When adding a MIRO app to the library that requires
additional R packages from CRAN, the user is now
prompted before these packages are installed.
When logging into
GAMS Engine
and using a registered model, MIRO now also checks if
the model exists in the namespace to provide a more
informative error message.
MIRO Server: Users who do not have permissions in the
Engine namespace associated with MIRO Server are now
authenticated when they can see some models. Users who
do not have permissions in the namespace can see a model
if they can see a group that is associated with a model
in the namespace. Assigning models to groups is
supported in Engine version 21.09.14 and later.
Aliases for widgets are removed from Configuration Mode.

Batch Load module.
Fix issue where the model sometimes did not terminate
when the log file was hidden.
Some internal database changes for MIRO Server.
Breaking changes
The database layout that MIRO uses internally has been
changed significantly. At the first start MIRO checks if
there is an existing MIRO database and tries to migrate
this database automatically to the new layout. A backup
of the old database is kept in case something goes
wrong. Some data can not be migrated automatically. The
first time you start your MIRO app, you will be prompted
with a migration dialog if some data needs to be
migrated manually. Sliders that have been expanded in
Hypercube Mode job configurations cannot be migrated!
An error is now issued if the MIRO app name (filename of
the main .gms file) is longer than 60 characters.
Apps that use the (previously undocumented)
dropdown columns feature in input tables must be
redeployed.
Deprecated features

custom input widgets
has been updated. Data is now passed in the form of
reactive expressions instead of tibbles. The old API
version is still the default for backward compatibility.
However, you will now receive a deprecation warning if
you are not using the new API version. The old API will
be removed in a future MIRO release.
Custom renderers can now be edited with a
live preview via the Configuration Mode. This should increase productivity when developing
custom renderers. Your existing renderers will still
work, but will not be recognized by this new editor. To
learn how to migrate them to be compatible with the new
editor, see
here.
Scenarios in Base Mode can now be queried, loaded and
exported via the new
Batch Load module
that was previously only available in Hypercube Mode.

comparison mode: Data is now only fetched and graphs
only rendered when required.
Add "Close All" button in the tab view comparison mode
to close all currently opened scenarios.
Windows: Removed progress bar when starting MIRO.
When submitting a job to
GAMS Engine, the MIRO sandbox is now restored when importing the
results. This means that attachments, views, tags, etc.
are preserved.
You can now select the default renderer for all output
data via the Configuration Mode (pivot table or table).
Changing only the views of a scenario in the
data_<modelname> folder now updates the scenario
in the database.
The new
custom input widget API
now passes data wrapped in reactive expressions. Also,
access to values from scalar widgets is now supported.
In addition to HTML, MIRO can now display Markdown files
generated by
custom analysis scripts.
MIRO Pivot Tables: Fix initialization issue that caused incorrect table
layout in certain situations.
Fix crash in metadata dialog that occurred when a MIRO

case-insensitive.
Breaking changes
When writing sets/parameters with duplicate records to
GDX file, an error is now issued instead of silently
ignoring the duplicates.
MIRO Pivot Tables: Scalar tables are no longer treated as sets (Scalar Value
column is treated as set text column). Instead, scalar
values are converted to floating point values. Note that
values of singleton sets that cannot be converted to a
floating point value become NA.
New features
MIRO scenarios can now be imported and exported as
MIROSCEN files. In contrast to other supported data
files like GDX or Excel, a MIROSCEN file contains all
scenario metadata like views and attachments.
MIRO now supports importing Excel (xls/xlsx) files with
an index sheet. The syntax is very similar to
GDXXRW. Read
here for
more details.
MIRO now supports delimited text files other than CSV.
Currently supported delimiters are: ,tab;|:.
MIRO tries to detect the delimiter automatically and
resorts to manual selection if it cannot uniquely
determine the delimiter. In addition, MIRO supports the
selection of a user-defined mapping of column headings
from the delimited text file to symbol headings.
When comparing base scenarios in Hypercube Mode, they
now get the names assigned to them in Base Mode.

well.
Show "More..." tab only if there are at least 2 tabs in
this group.
An empty textinput widget for a scalar GAMS symbol is
now always communicated as empty string.
An empty numeric input widget is now always communicated
with its default value. A placeholder is displayed if no
value has been set.
Custom aliases for GAMS symbols as well as symbol
domains are now automatically removed when the
Configuration Mode is started and the symbols for these
custom aliases are no longer part of the data contract.

Fix issue in Configuration Mode that caused MIRO to
crash in some situations when resetting a table
configuration for a symbol.
Fix issue in Configuration Mode that caused label of
tables not to be applied in certain situations.
Numbers in default input tables with pivoted columns are
now formatted correctly.
Breaking changes
Additional packages in custom renderers are now
installed in the MIRO workspace. These packages are no
longer attached because this could lead to conflicts
with packages required by MIRO. Read
here
for more details.
New features
MIRO Pivot Tables
introduced with MIRO 1.1 can now also be used for data
input.
Input widgets can now be
grouped, and the order of widgets within a group can be
changed.
Views can now
be attached to a scenario. A view is a JSON encoded
configuration of some renderer. The first renderer to
support this new feature is the
MIRO pivot table renderer.
New scenario comparison mode:
pivot view.
This mode allows you to merge datasets of multiple
scenarios and analyze them with the
pivot table
renderer.
Minor new features and improvements
Settings for output tables can now be configured
symbol-specific. Read more
here.
Add option to specify default app title and description
when deploying MIRO apps. Read more
here.
Besides GAMS tables now also normal parameters and sets
can be configured as maps.
Add option for text input widgets that causes
element label of a singleton set to be the empty
string. The idea is to use singleton sets to define
compile-time variables in the GAMS model (read more
here). Note that
this is currently not supported in Hypercube Mode.
Handsontables (default input tables) can now be
searched. Matching results are highlighted and the
viewport is changed to show the first result. You can
move to the next result by pressing Enter and
move to the previous result by pressing
Shift + Enter.
Remove unnecessary options for global input table
settings in Configuration Mode.
The filters in the MIRO pivot renderer now remain
expanded even after selecting a new element.
Improve accessibility of MIRO apps.
Development mode: New data is now only imported if the
file has changed since the last start of MIRO.
Added option to enable a
column visibility button
which allows to hide columns in big data tables.
Increase maximum number of scenario attachments from 5
to 7.
Value boxes can now
be configured individually for each scalar value.
Live preview of the graphics configuration can now be
viewed in full screen.
Bug fixes

being stored after solving a model.
Improve support of non-ASCII characters in file paths on
Windows.
In Configuration Mode, allow symbols with multiple
header aliases of the same name to be saved.
Fix issue where stale data would be displayed when
loading scenario while an input chart of the previous
scenario was still open.
Fix issue where wrong files could be deleted when a
scenario was removed from the sandbox.
Fix issue with downloading results after solving a job
asynchronously.
Fix issue that occurred when several asynchronously
solved scenarios were downloaded one after the other and
then imported into the sandbox.
Fix issue that occurred when trying to display logs of
two different asynchronously solved scenarios one after
the other.
Fix issue where removing and then adding attachments
again would cause an unexpected error.
Fix bug on Windows with local attachments.
Fix issue where multiple flows could not be displayed on
one map - only the last flow was visible.
GAMS MIRO 1.1

had to be overwritten.
Fix issue where having GAMS not in the PATH on Windows
would result in an error message in the log.
Fix issue where non-zero exit code was not redirected to
the parent process when deploying a MIRO application.
Fix issue where apps deployed as single-user could not
be imported to the library.
Fix issue with Studio always showing success message
when deploying a MIRO app, even when there were
problems.
GAMS MIRO 1.1.2
(2020-07-22)
Fix bug where no groups specified in map configuration
would lead to crash on next startup of Configuration
Mode.
Fix set configuration: Only show those tools that can be
configured with with a set
Fix bugs in Configuration mode with animation options.
Fix bug that caused a line chart configuration to not be
recognized as such in some situations when using a GAMS
table symbol.
Fix bug that caused empty xaxis title to be overwritten
on next startup of Configuration Mode.
Fix bug that caused slider range preview to fail when
configuring a dynamic limit.
Fix bug that caused configured checkbox starting value
to be overwritten on next start of Configuration Mode.
Fix bug in date & date range selector configuration that
caused startview and weekstart option to be overwritten
on next start of Configuration Mode.
Fix bug in the configuration schema of the texinput
widget that caused an error when configuring an empty
starting value or placeholder.
GAMS MIRO 1.1.1
(2020-07-02)
Fixed an issue where numericinput would send wrong
values in certain situations
New features
New
pivot table renderer: An all new pivot table renderer can now be selected
for input and/or output charts. This renderer is
designed for large datasets (> 1 million elements) and
will replace the old pivot table renderer. The old
renderer is still going to work, but you can not
configure it via the Configuration Mode any longer. In a
future release, we might deprecate this old pivot table
renderer, so please migrate to the new one! This new
renderer is the default renderer for input and output
symbols. This will make the default configuration of
MIRO even more powerful!
Configuration Mode: Graphics configuration now loaded at
next start.
Two GAMS symbols can now be displayed in the same tab
(side by side) when
grouped.
Add option to specify files that should be attached to a
scenario after a GAMS run executes successfully. This
allows you to add additional data to the data displayed
in the user interface and add states to your scenarios
to implement processes. You can find further information
here.
Add option to include TeX notation in README files via
the enableMath switch. Wrap your TeX formulas in
$ tags for inline rendering or between
$$ for rendering as a formula block. Find
more information about this feature
here.
Multiple GAMS symbols can now be used in one
custom renderer.
Minor new features and improvements
Tabs for output symbols can now be hidden. This can be
useful, for example, if you include a GAMS symbol in
MIRO only for the purpose of using its data together
with another symbol in a custom renderer (see
above).
Symbol metadata (symtype and headers) are now passed to
the custom renderer/custom widget via the options list.
The nested list can be accessed via the key
options[["_metadata_"]].
The
MIRO log
can now be used as an alternative to the GAMS log. This
means that it will update while the model is running.
Add option to define the decimal separator character and
the thousand groups separator character for
numeric inputs.
Add caching for deployed apps which drastically
increases their startup performance.
Increase startup performance for the Configuration Mode.
R is now bundled with MIRO on MacOS.
Data is now imported when a new MIRO application is
added to the library instead of at the first start of
the application.
When a new MIRO application is added to the library, the
database tables are now checked for consistency.
Add option to remove database tables when removing a
MIRO application from the library.
Bug fixes
Fix issue with validating GAMS on Linux.
Configuration Mode: Fixed a bug that caused adding a
script with an already existing id not to be validated
properly in certain situations.
Configuration Mode: Fixed a bug where an incorrect
widget configuration was displayed for symbols with a
JSON configuration that is not (yet) supported by
Configuration Mode.
Orphaned tables were not found when model name includes
underscores.
An error that should only occur if the list/log file
exceeds a certain file size was incorrectly displayed
when starting a new GAMS run.
Model names that included an underscore "_" caused MIRO
to throw an exception when downloading scenario data in
Hyperube Mode.
Did not properly set idir when running Hypercube
jobs locally (currently, model has to be adjusted to
work with idir).
Fix bug that caused Hypercube to crash when configuring
a dropdown menu that is not expanded in Hypercube Mode.
Fix bug that caused Hypercube job to fail when a multi
dropdown menu is empty.
Fix bug that caused wrong value to be written to GDX
when having an empty multi-dropown menu (no elements
selected)
Fix bug that caused datatables without numeric columns
to throw an error (e.g. for sets)
Fix bug where attachments with execute permissions were
not extracted in workdir with SQLite database backend
(default on MIRO Desktop)
Fix bug that caused empty sets not to show up in GDX and
therefore to throw an error on the GAMS side.
Fix problem with Safari browser where marked text in the
GAMS interaction section was unreadable.
GAMS MIRO 1.0
(2020-04-08)
GAMS MIRO 1.0.3
(2020-04-19)
macOS: Fixed a bug that caused GAMS versions >= 31.x to
be rejected.
Fixed a bug that caused csv files with filename equal to
the dataset name not being imported. The dataset had to
be selected manually.
GAMS MIRO 1.0.2
(2020-04-16)
Fixed bug in Configuration Mode that caused custom table
headers to be reverted to their defaults the next time
Configuration Mode was started.
Fixed a bug in Configuration Mode that caused custom
scripts arguments not to be displayed correctly at the
next start.
GAMS MIRO 1.0.1
(2020-04-14)
Fixed bug that caused MIRO apps with same version as
currently installed to be falsely rejected by library.
New features
New deployment environment for configured MIRO
applications. You can find more information about this
here. The
--mkapp=1
option (shortcut creation) is no longer supported.
MIRO now comes as an independent installer on the
platforms Windows, macOS and Linux. The installation is
independent from the GAMS system. All GAMS versions 30.2
or later support GAMS MIRO.
[MIRO:table] syntax for
pivoting a table column in MIRO is no longer supported.
Instead, a symbol can now simply be declared as a table.
Read more
here.
Added ability to
pivot tables
in MIRO via the Configuration Mode. Unlike the
table statement
in the GAMS model itself, this option does not affect
the data contract between GAMS and MIRO resulting in
variable columns.
Added
miro log
option for custom logs and input validation
Added support for an individual
README starting page
(markdown document) which is displayed in the input
section. The Readme file can be added/edited in
Configuration Mode.
Added support for own
custom scripts
for analysis purposes in Base and Hypercube Mode.
The MIRO user interface can be seen as a sandbox.
Data that is loaded into the interface is therefore
located in this sandbox as a sandbox scenario. The
data of the sandbox scenario can come from the MIRO
database, external databases, GDX containers, excel
files, or can be entered manually.
File attachments are part of a scenario. If
attachments are added to a sandbox scenario, they
are included when saving this scenario.
Sandbox scenarios can be loaded in scenario
comparison via load active button.
Added filter option for graphs: One dimension of a
symbol visualized as a graphic can be configured as a
filter dimension. Its elements can then be selected via
a (multi-)drop-down menu. Only the data belonging to
this selection is displayed in the graphic.
Completely restructured Hypercube Mode. This includes
the change from CSV to GDX file format for scenario
input and output data. This is especially relevant for
the manual job submission.
Changed directory name for custom renderers from
customRenderer to
renderer_<modelname>
Changed directory name for configuration files from
conf to conf_<modelname>
Improved performance on startup of MIRO Base/Hypercube
Mode
Stop button in GAMS interaction now with soft
kill first, then hard kill.
Scenario comparison: input and output symbol tabs are
now displayed in different colors.
Added option to edit scenario access permissions.
When creating new scenario via
Save as dialog,
attachments of currently active scenario can now be
duplicated. This does not apply to
scenario access permissions.
Element text of singleton sets can now be appended with
a double pipe ("||") and will be
aggregated/disaggregated when loaded/stored from GDX.
The value and/or the element text of a singleton Set can
be used in the
eval.Set
option to evaluate the value/text at compile time and
place it into a scoped compile-time variable. This is
useful any information about double-dash parameters and
GAMS options configured via Configuration Mode gets lost
when exporting a scenario as a GDX file. Read more
here.
Changed prefix for double-dash parameters and GAMS
options from GMSPAR_ / GMSOPT_ to
_gmspar_
/
_gmsopt_.
Double-dash parameters and GAMS options can now have the
same name as GAMS symbols.
Maximum number of symbol tabs visible in Inpupt/Output
section set to 5 (rest available via dropdown).
Bootstrap dropdown menus are now right aligned per
default. They will be left-aligned when space on left is
not sufficient.
"More" dropdown menu (visible when more than 5 input or
output tabs are shown in MIRO) will now show currently
active tab.
First two columns (symbol name and symbol text) of
scalar input table are now automatically set to
readonly.
Import data via spreadsheet: Added possibility to use a sheet dedicated to a
single scalar with the sheet name being the name of the
scalar and its value being in column A1.
When importing scenarios from data_<modelname>
folder, these scenarios can now be read and executed by
all users within the same user group as the user
importing them. Before, only the user importing them
could read and execute them.
Adding/removing rows is now no longer allowed when at
least one column is readonly.
Variables and equations can now be exported via GDX.
Changed
handling of NAs, zeros and EPS. Numeric NAs are not converted to 0 anymore; Zeros are
now written to GDX as 0 instead of being squeezed out.
Increased precision of numeric values input tables to
maximum precision.
Custom renderer functions are now extended with ellipsis
arguments to make sure they are compatible with future
MIRO versions.
Charts configuration has now access to MIRO database.
Previously saved scenario data can now be used for the
graphics configuration (besides the local file
upload).
Added option to display graphic and table in
split-screen
for pie charts, maps and gantt charts.
Added option to remove invalid widget/graph
configuration in Configuration Mode
Bar chart, Line chart, Scatter, plot, Bubble chart:
Order logic of axis elements can now be adjusted.
Map: Markers can now be customized (icon, icon color,
marker color).
Added option to set a fixed height and/or width for
pie chart, donut chart, bar chart, histogram, scatter
plot, line chart, bubble chart.
Added option to render a static picture instead of an
interactive plot for pie chart, donut chart, bar
chart, histogram, scatter plot, line chart, bubble
chart.
Added option to set the axis scale ratio for line
chart, scatter plot, bubble chart.
Added option 'area' and 'diameter' for bubble chart
size measurement
Valuebox: Number of boxes in a row can now be
customized.
Added option to configure number of decimal places for
numericInput
Removed remote Execution setting from Configuration
Mode. Moved to
preferences
that are accessible via the MIRO library.
GAMS MIRO 0.6
(2019-06-18)
MIRO Configuration Mode: The GAMS MIRO Configuration
Mode can be used to change the settings of your MIRO app
as well as to generate new widgets and charts. When
configuring your widgets and charts, you get a live
preview so that you immediately see the results of your
configuration. You don't need to touch JSON code
anymore.
New data import mechanism: Instead of creating an Excel
file that the user then has to upload in order to get
the first data into MIRO, data relevant to MIRO is
automatically extracted from your model and stored in
the MIRO database.
Tab grouping: Group multiple input tabs and output tabs
together.
Automated loading of data on startup: Automatically load
data when your MIRO app launches, so tables won’t start
out empty.
Automated scenario import into DB: GDX files that you
place in the data_<modelname> folder of your MIRO
app will be automatically imported into the MIRO
database the next time you launch your app.
Improved UTF-8 support: You can now use non-ASCII
characters throughout MIRO
Chinese language support (note that the MIRO
Configuration Mode is not yet translated, though).
Import and export of GDX files: Besides Excel
spreadsheets you can now also import and export GDX
containers.
