The changes in this beta will be available in the next Source production release, due out at the end of December 2020.

Source improvements Improvements in this release include:

• A significant increase in the amount of data that can be presented in Order Crawler (new functionality released in Source 5.0 for analysing complex interactions between ordering and delivering, especially for models with travel time) now can present a lot more data,over long travel times).
• Application setting for Source data directories, such as temp data directories,.
• Extension of constituent marker routing with Weirs and Storage Routing to allow it to handle non-conservative constituents, and.
• a number Range of minor improvements.

Improvements have also been made to the new Urban Developer improvements includeplugin, including:

• Custom end-uses can now be defined with a Function or Data Source,.
• The parameteriser can now work on all existing end-use models, and.
• Graphs are now shown for end-use models.

The order crawler recorder is a new recorder to show all the nodes and links in a network.  Available under: Miscellaneous \ Ordering \ Order Crawler. The Order Crawler is a fully interactive, zoomable schematic that shows the entire network with node locations in the same location as the network. There is a slider-bar to choose which the day you are interested in. Data The data available in Order Crawler includes:

• Min Constraints (All, Min Travel time, Max Travel Time, Min & Max) 
• Max Constraints (All, Min Travel time, Max Travel Time, Min & Max) 
• Orders \ Requirements (All, Min Travel time, Max Travel Time, Min & Max) 
• Downstream Flow
• Travel Time (Min and Max)

Note: for large networks, it does record a lot of data and is primarily for problem-solving and not intended to always be turned on.

Application setting for Source data directories

...

• Feature table (and other tables) now includes units when exported,
• Environmental Flow Nodes have a new recorder for consecutive successful time steps. This can be helpful when using functions and the environmental flow manager. 
• Functions or modelled variables that are used and don't have a Time of Evaluation (ToE) set will trigger a new assurance rule with an error by default.
• There was previously a The maximum node limit of 1,000 nodes , this has been removed.
• You can now put a function on a weir's upstream reach's time-series flux.
• and other minor bugsOther minor bug fixes.
