Last change on this file since 1277 was 1254, checked in by Maciej Komosinski, 18 months ago
  • turn -0.0 into 0.0 if we have minimum==0.0, so that it does not look as if we got a value below 0.0 (minimum) after mutation (even though -0.0==0.0)
  • implemented stochastic rounding for the mutation of integer parameters
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native
