The changes in this beta will be available in the 4.13 production release, due out at the end of June 2020. 

Changes in this release include changing how custom charts are managed, command line improvements, and improvements for River Operation mode within Source.

We have also made improved:

  • Function Modelled Variables now the concept of Locking the variable selection to make it less likely for mistakes to occur. 
  • Ordering for the Irrigator demand model now includes an option to make the Flow phase and Order phase identical.

Custom charts

Custom charts no longer get saved by default! 

All automatically generated charts are created under Temporary and only saved when moved into Saved. Users can also create folders and subfolders for organising custom charts:

We will also include a toolbar with a filter/search for custom charts:

, hopefully in the next beta.

Operations Tabular Editor changes

The Operations Tabular Editor now allows you to copy-paste into multiple cells and view charts directly in the Results Manager. 

Performance improvements for the command line

We have done some performance work on the command line to reduce the memory (RAM) used during a run and to speed up runs in the command line.

The command line now has additional options for results saving:

--resultsOutputMode

There are three modes currently available (4. coming soon):

  1. noOutput - This improves performance when using automatic exporting tooks such Scenario Options: Simulation results or Simulation Log which automatically exports results after each run to a specific location. 
  2. serverNamedFormat - This mode saves from the server, rather than transferring data back to the client when in client-server mode. This is also now the default for a single computer run, meaning performance is improved by not transferring the data.
  3. clientNamedFormat - (default for client-server mode). The data is transferred back to the client and saved (current behaviour).
  4. Coming soon: serverStreamedFormat - this will be available with results streaming in the next beta release. 

Plugin Developers

We are planning on moving to C# 7, Visual Studio 2019 and .NET 4.8.0 soon, so you will need to make sure you have updated Visual Studio to continue developing plugins in the beta versions.

Regression Testing

We have removed the tolerance in our regression tests to help find issues earlier if we get different results on different machines or versions of operating systems. 

Regression test repository changes since the first Source 4.12.0beta:

(warning) 03 Project results updated

Insight

To run Insight, you also need to install the 32bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
This installer is for both 32bit machines and 64bit machines since the library we use is 32bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
