			* Multiselection of variables
			:''Gtk 3.2 or above is required to support multiselection of variables. The work is done in modelview.py.''
			* Show/hide different instance types
			:''Used filtered tree model. The main work is done in modelview.py. Function responsible for filtering is filter_rows. I had to store treeview original path, which is dictionary key, in initial tuple (see make_row function).''
			* Show/enter celsius temperatures
			:''Everything is done in gui layer. For user it looks like normal unit from libascend, but it doesn't. It's only nice gui hack. Underneath there are Kelvin units. The special class 'CelsiusUnits' is responsible for all conversions between Kelvins and Celsiuses. All code is marked between "##### CELSIUS TEMPERATURE WORKAROUND" to be easy to find it. Celsius temperatures are displayed in main treeview, properties, study and observe tabs. User also can type 'degC' and it will be converted to Kelvins. The work was done in modelview.py, properties.py, study.py, observer.py, unitsdialog.py, preferences.py and celsiusunits.py.''
			* External relation indexed using output variables
			:''Done in modelview.py, marked "##### EXTERNAL RELATION WORKAROUND". The output variables are extracted from relation string and replace array indices. ''
			* Dialog boxes for when and logrel types
			:''Added special functions in ascxx module to get proper strings. Used properties dialog to display them. Work done in modelview.py and properties.py.''
			* Background tasks for solving
			:''Created background tasks in gtkbrowser.py, study.py and solverhooks.py. Unfortunately three times almost the same code, but due to difference, difficult to tied together. There are new functions responsible for gui updating "called" from GObject.idle_add(). All functions have main function name with appropriate suffixes (e.g. udpate, finish). Solving can be interrupted between iterations, so if solver doesn't support iterate function there is no possibility to stop it.''
			* Background tasks for integration
			:''Work done mainly in integratorreporter.py, because there was code responsible for integration. Moved observed values recording to ascxx layer, due to failed assertions in libascend, using previous approach. It looks like, after creating new not gui thread, program can't spend much time in python code. No idea why.''
			* Live plotting during solution of dynamic models
			:''Improved IntegratorReporterPlot class, which inherits IntegratorReporterPython instead ascxx class. It allows to plot values and show progress bar simultaneously. Implemented mainly in integratorreporter.py''

			Use these sites to prepare enviroment for Windows installer: http://ascend4.org/Setting_up_a_MinGW-w64_build_environment and http://ascend4.org/Building_ASCEND_for_64-bit_Windows with following changes:
			* You can use newer version of programs except Python (it has to be 2.7)
			* Don't install GTK+ 2 library (it's useless)
			* For building 32bit and 64bit use mingw-w64 instead mingw32 (there are annoying bugs)
			* Choose win32 threads instead posix
			* If you have any problem with undefined references for python use: (more info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6731100/link-to-python-with-mingw)
			<source lang=sh>echo EXPORTS > python27.def
			nm python27.lib \| grep " T _" \| sed "s/.* T _//" >> python27.def
			dlltool --input-def python27.def --dllname python27 --output-lib libpython27.a</source>
			Then:
			* Create pygi slim installer: http://ascend4.org/Creating_slim_PyGI_installer_for_Windows
			* Create dependencies installers (gaphas, simple generic, decorator) using:
			<source lang=sh>python setup.py bdist_wininst</source>
			* Create Windows installer typing:
			<source lang=sh>scons installer</source>
