The changes in this beta will be available in the next Source production release, due out at the end of December 2020.

Improvements in this release include:

  • River Operations tabular editor,
  • Off Allocation changes, and 
  • changes to Without Debit accounting (specific to NSW systems).

River Operations Tabular Editor Improvements

The operations tabular editor now shows what cells can be edited, and can include comments on cells.  Comments can be added to cells whether values are overridden or not:

You can also view all overrides and cells with comments using View Overrides:

You can also Clear Historical Overrides through this view.

Plugin Developers

We have moved to .NET 4.8 and are looking at moving to the new .csproj format on our journey to .net core. Once we complete this, we will require plugin developers to upgrade to Visual Studio 2019.

Regression Testing

We have removed the tolerance in our regression tests, to allow for earlier identification of different machines or versions of operating systems giving different results. 

Regression test repository changes since the first Source 5.0:

(info) 05 Project updated results

(info) 01 Project had its test run specification modified

Details here: 5.3 Regression Test Changes

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).
