3.8.3 - Beta Release (September 2014)

The main new feature in this release is the ability to change parameters with Input Sets, a number of Annual Accounting issues (with lots of regression test changes), ability to modify the execution order with rules, a number of bug fixes and a number of minor improvements.

Input Set Parameter Changer

The Input Set user interface (Edit \ Input Sets) now includes the ability to change most parameters when you change input sets.The syntax lines up with the Summary Export (Tools \ Export Summary). However you need to include the full path to the parameter and use an "=" rather than the "," in the export. It includes the ability to define the list of parameter changes in a file with reload on run similar to data sources.  RM-12782 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Execution order changes

• The ability to modify the execution order has been included (Edit \ Execution Order Rules)
• Viewing the execution order is better and can now be done without running the scenario/recording it (now under View \ Execution Order)
• Consolidated the execution order for flow phase and ordering phase to use the same list (flow phase top to bottom, ordering phase bottom to top) 

Cool minor changes

• Regression tests can now depend on community plugins
• "Apply Value(s) To All Rows" option has been included in editing Rainfall Runoff models and Constituent generation / filtering models
• Execution order included into Export Summary (Tools \ Export Summary) 
• Cross section editor fixed (was in 3.8.2 but had unit issues) ( RM-12701 - Getting issue details... STATUS ):
  
  • Ability to add cross sections (Edit \ Link Cross Sections) Link Cross Section editor screenshot
