New Release

There is a new version available for download.

Those of you using the Windmap layers should definitely download this. It should enable you to reopen workbooks which appeared to be corrupted but in actual fact weren't. The problem was due to an error on loading windmap layers which were children of other layers. Also, the windmap layer was not behaving correctly as a WRG in terms of allowing its child layers to determine its validity. This has also been fixed.

Several other changes are listed in the change log. A lot of the work done in the past month was groundwork for the commercial version which should be ready by the new year.

There is a known issue with the octave band spreading noise model. I hope to be able to release a fix in the next few days.

Enjoy and please let me know your thoughts and feedback.
