3.8.16 - Beta Release (October 2015)

This release focuses on increasing flexibility for irrigation model calibration, improving navigation and data management within Source. 

• Ability to use functions to specify more parameters
  • Irrigator Demand Model - Functions can now be used to specify Maximum Irrigated Area (new), Demand Limiting Factor, Spill from System and Return Efficiency. 
    
  • Supply point -  Overbank Pump Capacity can now be specified using a function rather than a single value. This adds to the flexibility of functions already enabled for specifying Diversion Threshold and Maximum Account Deduction.
  • /wiki/spaces/SD41/pages/25822045 (OFS) within a water user node - Refilling Airspace (Planned Extractions and Unplanned Extractions) can be specified using functions. Storage Characteristics, Target Reserves and Return Flow have had this flexibility added in previous releases. 
• On Farm Storage volume area relationships can now change over time. This can be used for specifying changes in the storage structure which may occur during the modelling period. 

Model Management

• Scenario Input Sets - Scenario Input sets were introduced in Source to aid in modelling different scenarios which require no changes to the source structure, but require changes to inputs files (data sources), node parameters or functions. In Source 3.8.3 - Beta Release (September 2014) scenario input sets were expanded to include the ability to change most parameters, making their use far more versatile. In this release, Input sets can now have parent-child relationships.
• Deactivate branches: Source now fully replicates the IQQM inactive node functionality. It has been extended further with the ability to disable entire branches of scenario as well as individual nodes. This can be useful when building a large scenario, you can disable most of the model and only run the section you are interested in. 
  
• Results Manager:
  
  • Navigation in the Results Manager is now easier. With the Results Manager window selected, Source allows users to click on the relevant node or link in either the schematic or geographic view to automatically navigate to the results. 
  • Univariate and Bivariate Statistics will now automatically be generated and available immediately following a model run. 
  • Improvements to graphing a large number of points

• Source now supports 4k resolution screens
• Performance improvements in deleting nodes / links, particularly in large projects
  
• Rainfall runoff model /wiki/spaces/SD41/pages/25821548 has been implemented in Source.  IhacresClassic has been removed as an option for creating new scenarios:  RM-13009 - Getting issue details... STATUS

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).
