V23.11

What's Changed

New features

• The application has been transformed to .NET8
  With .NET8, the current performance improvements and bug fixes are adopted
  A MONO version of the GUI is also available for Linux users
  The GRAL release is no longer published as all-in-one file by default
  This means that user must install .NET8 Runtime (Windows OS requires the .NET8 Desktop
  Runtime) and therefore benefits in several ways
  ▪ Smaller published files
  ▪ Fewer false warnings from anti-virus programs
  ▪ Better performance
  ▪ Individual setting options from Runtime for the respective computer in the *.runtimecon-fig.json file
  ▪ Same compilation for Windows, Linux and MacOS
  For windows users, a published version as a single-fill is still available in a separate download
• Layout Manager, Screenshot
  Predefined Hue-Chroma-Luminance (HCL) contour map colors can be used
• Scale bar and contour map color scale
  Can be set to a map position (not just screen position as before) so that the bar/color scale will be moved and zoomed with the map
• "Select multiple points”-Dialog
  Enable editing of existing rows - create new lines only when the cursor is at an empty row
• Enable a user defined path for the emission modulation settings and result files
  A modulation can be saved by defining a separate path (usually a project subfolder). The result files are then also stored in this folder. This option can be used to create different modulations
  and evaluate them in parallel. The used modulation is stored in the folder and can be assigned to the results
• Additional output in the evaluation info forms
  The path used for modulation, the names and paths of the result files and the number of unreadable *.grz files are specified as additional information
• Rendering contour maps when needed only
  For large projects, rendering the maps takes a very long time when starting the GIS window.
  Now only visible maps are rendered, other maps are rendered, when the visibility is changed.

Bug fixes

• Layout Manager: The variable position of the color scale has been solved, if multiple scales were visible
• Use the anemometer height of a local observation as default value for - the meteorological classification
• Prevent the pollutant type from being changed while the modulation is being set
• Fix incorrectly displayed emission factors for the receptor evaluation and provide an option to cancel the receptor evaluation
• Use new functions for searching files within the project path - needed when the absolute path has been changed, e.g. when a project has been moved to another folder
• Long folder names are displayed truncated
• Wind speed and wind direction values are rounded when importing from *.akterm files
• Copy the previous used coverage value to new created vegetation data items
• Remove an initial empty item when importing point source or receptor data to an empty data structure (this bug led to an additional item on position 1)
