4.4.0 - Beta Release (May 2018)
The focus for this release has been on stability and performance for the QLD Water Modelling Network.
Runtime Performance for catchment projects
Runtime across all of the catchment models has improved, with the smaller Mackay Whitsunday projects getting the most benefits from changes we have made.

Model Profiling tool
A model profiling tool is now available as a recorder: Miscellaneous \ Performance \ Scenario Model Timings.
It produces a report that shows execution time per component (node /link/catchment) and per phase (flow, constituent, ordering. etc.). Example outputs are provided below.
