Release 4.3.1 is an update to 4.3.0 primarily to deliver the new Environmental Flows management functionality as well as a few minor enhancements.

Environmental Flows

The new environmental flow functionality enables multiple environmental rules, sites, and account holders to be managed and prioritised centrally through the environmental flow manager. Environmental flow patterns may be quite complex and dependent on a range of current and prior system conditions, and environmental flow account balances. The environmental flow node allows for configuration of spell based and translucency action types with various parameters to do with timing, size and shape of the desired flow patterns.

This release of Source 4.3.1 delivers improved management of return intervals in the manager, spell termination behaviour and water requirement calculations.

The flow manager now allows for opportunistic use of available environmental water following successful seasons. Without the manager functionality, the environmental flow node will order water only if the desired frequency interval has elapsed since the last successful season.
The travel time associated with the reference flow in a translucency action is now assumed to be the minimum travel time, ie the time Source calculates it will take for the flow to reach the node from the closest storage.
Spells are now considered to have failed (and therefore have no more water ordered and wasted to complete them) as soon as any success criteria (volume, flow rate or timestep) have been failed, rather than when minimum spell duration has elapsed.
Cost of delivery is now calculated more accurately, with the water required to create the configured /wiki/spaces/SD43/pages/53543963taken into account.

See /wiki/spaces/SD43/pages/53543963 and /wiki/spaces/SD43/pages/53543937 scientific reference guide entries for further information on the underlying methods of calculation and management.

Other Enhancements:

1) Single Installer

We now have a single installer for both 64bit and 32bit machines. We also have a single .zip file for binaries which will work for both 64bit and 32bit machines.

2) Improved notes in resource assessment

You can now add in comments in more areas of Annual Accounting Resource Assessment.

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).
