The changes in this beta will be available in the next Source production release due out at the end of June 2022.
This release includes:
- Spatial Data Exporter included as core,
- Environmental Flow Actions in the Feature Table,
- Internal spilling can be specified by the Owner, and
- the first implementation of a Replicate Runner.
Spatial data Exporter
The Spatial Data Exporter from Queensland's Derm Tools plugin has been updated and incorporated into the core application. The Spatial Data Exporter allows you to easily export a number of spatial layers from the Source project file.
For Geographic Scenarios, it's now available under the right-click menu.
Environmental Flow Actions are now in the Feature Table
Spell Based Actions and Translucency Actions from the Environmental Flow Node are now available to be edited in the Feature Table.
Internal spilling to be specified by the Owner
Replicate runner - First implementation
We have started to implement a replicate runner within Source for applications such as a risk of spill assessment.
- RM-20177 - Add replicate running configuration to Source
- RM-20189 - Replicate runs in results manager
- RM-20193 - Add sub-run name to res.csv format
- RM-20197 - Support for sub-runs in custom charts
There are a number of limitations we are continuing to work on. These will be available in future beta releases:
- All data sources are currently cycled, this will be specified in the future (RM-20190),
- Annual Descriptive Statistics doesn't work with sub-runs, this will be the main summary statistics available (RM-20199),
- Runs in series and not in parallel, which is an important performance improvement (RM-20178),
- Limited validation in User Interface (RM-20180).
Plugin Developers
As we are moving to .net 6, we have now updated the .csproj format that is used by Source. Please see: Csproj Format to go through the conversion process.
To compile Source you now require:
- .Net Framework 4.8 Developer pack - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-developer-pack-offline-installer
- .NET 5.0 SDK - https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/5.0
- Visual Studio 2019 - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/
Regression Testing
There is no tolerance in our regression test suite to allow for earlier identification of results being different on different machines or versions of operating systems.

Insight
To run Insight, you also need to install the 32bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
This installer is for 32bit machines and 64bit machines since the library we use is 32bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
