4.8.0 - Beta Release (December 2018)

Carryover configuration in Resource Assessment can now change over time to assist with calibration

There is now an option to change carryover during a simulation.  

Changes to "Safe Release" functionality in Storages

In the previous versions, with safe release capacity not being ticked, releases for the purpose of meeting the maximum operating target level can still happen. We have modified it so that:

• If Safe Release capacity on an outlet path is ticked: spill water can be released to this outlet path but is capped by safe release capacity;
• If safe release capacity on an outlet path is NOT ticked: No water can flow out from this outlet path for the purpose of meeting the maximum operating target level, but release to meet normal demand requirements that are passed up to this outlet path should still happen.
• Checkbox renamed from "Use safe release capacity" to "Enable release of above max operating constraint water"

Improvements to new Charting tool 

The new chart implementation and settings are ready for testing.  In the results Manager, go to Options \ Use New Chart and select "Use New Chart":

Then restart the application and you will be using the new chart and settings.  

Minor changes

Recording changes - Source only records “Maximum Operating Level”. If maximum operating constraints for storage outlet are specified by “Volume”, there is no recorder for “Maximum Operating Volume”.

Gauged Releases now have the highest priority in the system when using priority ordering.

Community Plugins

Arrange Nodes plugin

You can now use the arrange Nodes community plugin to rearrange all the schematic nodes of a network. This could be handy if you have built a model starting with a Geographic Scenario.

NetLPMonthly Optimiser

• An option to allow an export of the model input settings to excel has been added
• Allow adjustment of forecast inflows for 2nd and third replicates only .
• New recorder "Requirement" for look ahead period in Arc Flows

Plugin Developers

We are planning on moving to C# 7, Visual Studio 2017 and .net 4.7.2 early next year, so you will need to make sure you have updated Visual Studio to continue developing plugins in the beta versions.
