are we going to get 'brackets' then to allow AND to be evaluated after OR subclauses?

no

are we going to get 'brackets' then to allow AND to be evaluated after OR subclauses?

As far as I can tell, there's no need for this, as any logical set of conditions should be possible to express in a clause-less, standard-boolean-precedence form.

For example,

[A OR B OR C] AND [D OR E OR F]

is equivalent to, without brackets

A AND D OR A AND E OR A AND F OR B AND D OR B AND E OR B AND F OR C AND D OR C AND E OR C AND F

Certainly lengthy, but logically intuitive and formally clear.

In my opinion, this change is absolutely a great improvement - especially for those who don't want to get into formal logics to manage their trains, but just want the train to "Do as I tell you, dangit".

Added LuaStyle::visible read/write.

Sweeeet!

[*]Changed train wait conditions to use standard boolean precedence for evaluation, instead of a simple left to right accumulative evaluation.

This is provably complete across propositional logic. So any condition can be specified by enough "AND" and "OR" chains.

Yes 0.13.18 is stable

• Changes
  • Changed train wait conditions to use standard boolean precedence for evaluation, instead of a simple left to right accumulative evaluation.

Could someone explain this change? I have some programming and scripting background and I still don't really understand it =/

My educated guess would be that instead of evaluating every condition it only calculates those conditions that can still affect the outcome - eg, if condition is A and B or C it will check A, if A is false it will skip straight to checking C since the outcome of B is irrelevant.

((((((A and B) and C) or D) and E) or F) or G) changed to (A and B and C) or (D and E) or (F) or (G)

From left asociativity to disjunctive normal form.

[A OR B OR C] AND [D OR E OR F]

is equivalent to, without brackets

A AND D OR A AND E OR A AND F OR B AND D OR B AND E OR B AND F OR C AND D OR C AND E OR C AND F

So this is equivalent to
(A+B+C)*(D+E+F)=AD + AE + AF + BD + BE + BF + CD + CE + CF
Right?

[The Real C]

[A OR B OR C] AND [D OR E OR F]

is equivalent to, without brackets

A AND D OR A AND E OR A AND F OR B AND D OR B AND E OR B AND F OR C AND D OR C AND E OR C AND F

So this is equivalent to
(A+B+C)*(D+E+F)=AD + AE + AF + BD + BE + BF + CD + CE + CF
Right?

Yep. "AND" is equivalent to multiplication, "OR" to addition (with some broad acceptance of what "equivalent" means).
