3.8.17 - Beta Release (December 2015)

The last production release was Source 3.7.

This release focuses on quicker editing, improved run times, and increased flexibility for irrigation model calibration.

Editing Improvements

• Feature editor load times – After a great deal of investigation and testing, we resolved a bug in a third party control that caused editing to be get slower as project size increased. It is now much quicker to edit, which is great news for users working on larger models.
• Feature Table load time is much quicker.

Run Time Improvements

• Storage feature editors now have an additional option 'Do Not Order From Upstream Storages'. This can significantly improve run times in models that have ordering and long travel times. Other ordering options have also been renamed to be more self explanatory.

Water User

• The irrigator crop model now generates run off from undeveloped and fallow areas and adds it to the harvestable return flow.
• Irrigator water use has been improved in cases where maximum ponded crop levels are set.

Rainfall and evaporation forecasting models can now be applied to storage routing links. This will improve overall forecasting accuracy in operations models.

Insight

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