WaterSums 1.1.1 progress

It has been a while since I reported the latest developments in WaterSums software, so here is an update. WaterSums 1.1.1 is slowly moving closer to release. This new release adds Adobe SVG Viewer support for many of the new features added in WaterSums 1.1 which only worked with the Silverlight plugin. Various new features have also been added including:

• New Auto-Analyse after network edits
• Network Analysis Result Summary now displayed in status bar
• EPANET analysis report files are now displayed with syntax highlighting and hyperlinks to network objects
• Display of contours based on network nodal elevations.
• Simple and Rule-Based Controls are now included in the Project tree and a Control Editor with syntax highlighting and Control checking is provided
• Link Reverse option added to context menu for pipes, pumps and valves
• Extra data validity checking added for tanks
• Load/Save support in the Pattern and Curve editors

The 'catch-up' features now available when displaying maps with the Adobe SVG Viewer (ASV) include:

• Mouse wheel zooms in and out
• Zoom In and Zoom Out toolbar buttons now operate about the centre of the map area displayed (see earlier blog posts for technical difficulties with this)
• Original View toolbar button now works as expected
• Map Labels are red and underlined when selected
• Simulation time clock and progress bar are displayed and the map background flashes when the simulation restarts
• Hovering over network objects gives a visual indication
• Replay speed can be controlled with toolbar buttons (more technical difficulties with ASV which should be detailed in a later blog entry)
• Replay stepping is also available through toolbar buttons

Other minor new features have also been added and will be included in the Release Notes. The WaterSums 1.1.1 point release is planned for release within 2 weeks and will be available to all licensed users of WaterSums 1.1 as per our normal upgrade policy.
