-===== Software Concept =====
-Like always, ENVI-met V4 is free and comes along as a complete model including the complete simulation core. In addition to the free version (**"ENVI-met Standard"**), there is  a **Professional version** with additional analysis modules and an **Expert Version** with advanced modelling features. The diagram below summarizes the basic differences between the 3 versions:

+The new Winter-Release comes with a multitude of new features. For a first impression, click on the image above to view our release brochure.
+Below, you find a detailed list of the most important features.
-While the **Standard** version can be downloaded and used freely, the **Professional** version must be licensed for an individual user or an academic institution. As ENVI-met 4 is still in the testing phase, the same applies to the professional version. The price is 2.900 EUR plus 19% German VAT. For more information, please write an e-mail to office[at]envi-met.com. Finally, the features of the **Expert** version are only available within our consultancy work. [[apps:envimet_versions_overview|Read more about the different versions....]]
+Note, that most of the features are only available in the full ENVI-met versions, not in BASIC.
+==== New Applications  ====
+  * **Monde**, the new vector based world editor with online integration of OpenStreetMap and OpenTopography (Beta)
+  * The new **ENVIGuide** assisting you in the generation of .SIMX simulation files
+  * **ForcingCreator** assisting you to generate files for the new full-forcing based on meassured data or EPW files
+  * Converter tool from EDX files into the **NetCDFformat**
+  * **Plug-in for Rhino Grasshopper/Ladybug** to create ENVI-met Area Input files and Simulation files and start ENVI-met from Grashopper **(to be released individually in early December)**
+==== New Model features ====
+  * New facade and roof greening model with detailed calculation of exchange processes at the plant and the substrate layer
+  * Full Forcing allows you integrate meassured data or data from larger-scale models into the ENVI-met simulation. All variables including wind and solar radition can be "forced"
+  * Buildings can have individual wall and roof materials and wall and roof greening  in ConceptDesign mode
+  * The simulation files have a new format (.SIMX) with more options to control the model configuration
+  * The popular IVS method can now be executed in the memory which increases the calculation speed drastically. (A parallel version is up-to-come)
+==== Databasesystem, DBManager and related ====
+  * The ENVI-met database system has been extended to 6-char IDs to allow a better organisation of IDs. The system will automatically convert old 2-char IDs
+  * The DBManager features a new tool to calculate pollutant emissions from car traffic based on standard emission factors
+  * Receptor names can have any length now
+==== Vegetation model  ====
+  * The new TreeCalender allws a dynamical adjustment of the leaf area density of plants with respect to the month of the year to simulate seasonal effects
+  * The user can set the solar transmissivity of leafs in order to better simulate the absorption of radiation and shadow casting
+  * The Tree database (Albero) has been re-structured (The old trees are still available)
+==== Re-worked applications  ====
+  * SPACES have been re-designed to include the new features such as facade/roof greening or topography integration.
-==== New Features ====
-ENVI-met V4 is completly new in large parts of the model environment and features. For an overview over the feature list of ENVI-met V4 see [[architecture:whatsnewv4|New Features in ENVI-met V4]].
