The current version of the MSL contains a couple of occurrences of the annotation Window. I could not find the annotation in the specs and have no idea what it is supposed to do.

So should we either remove this annotation entirely or added it to the Specification?

Here a list of classes (courtesy of DeltaTheta who provided that list) that contain the annotations:

  Modelica.Blocks.Continuous.Filter: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Blocks.Routing.Replicator: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Electrical.Spice3.Basic.C_Capacitor: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Electrical.Spice3.Sources.V_constant: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Electrical.Spice3.Sources.I_constant: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Fluid.Examples.AST_BatchPlant.BaseClasses.setReal: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Basic.ConstantReluctance: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Basic.EddyCurrent: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Interfaces: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Interfaces.PartialFixedShape: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Interfaces.PartialForce: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Interfaces.PartialLeakage: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Sources: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FluxTubes.Sensors.MagneticPotentialDifferenceSensor: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FundamentalWave.Sensors.MagneticFluxSensor: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FundamentalWave.Sensors.MagneticPotentialDifferenceSensor: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Magnetic.FundamentalWave.Sensors.MagneticPotentialSensor: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Components.ElastoGap: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   ObsoleteModelica3.Mechanics.MultiBody.Interfaces.PartialCutForceSensor: Unknown annotation type used: Window
   ObsoleteModelica3.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.AbsoluteSensor: Unknown annotation type used: Window

I believe this has been discussed before, but could not find the ticket.

Basically Window is no longer used in Dymola (I believe it was part of pre-Modelica 3 annotations used in Dymola 4 or earlier). I don't know if any other tool uses it.

OK this basically means they are deprecated can be removed. Done in 2771dc5.
