Source 3.8.1beta has a number of bug fixes including changes to Annual accounting. Changes also include:

  • (warning) Invalid characters now cause a parse and a runtime error  RM-12640 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • (warning)We have had a go at improving how functions are selected. Please have a play and let us know what you think: RM-11849 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • Added an option in source which turns function locking on by default. This option is enabled by default, so anyone installing 3.8.1 will get it by default
    • When selecting a function at a usage location, it sets the selected guy to bold and also puts the selected functions name in the title of the accordion.
  • Improved Function parser errors

We have also re-implemented the Functional Unit Area editing form after we investigated its performance. It is no longer in the wizard and is now available under: <Edit\ Functional Unit\Assign Area Manually…>.  Please have a go and let us know what you think.

Note: Dora isn't ready for testing yet and still has a number of issues to resolve before its ready for beta testing.

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).

Existing Issues

  • Copy & paste functionality:
    • does not copy expressions and 
    • copied scenarios fail to run when using marker routing for constituents
  • Can now add constituents to a catchments model.  Save and re-load project  - it will not be able to run straight away.

Community plugins

Note: If you are downloading Community plugins, you may need to manually unblock the downloaded file in Windows:

  • Once the download is complete, open Windows Explorer;
  • Right click on the dll file and choose Properties;
  • This will open the Properties dialog. At the bottom of this window will be comment indicating that the file has been downloaded from the internet and has been blocked to protect this computer;
  • Click the Unblock button next to the warning and click OK.

The plugin should then load normally.
