+<fs xx-large>ENVI-met updates for version 4.4.6 (Summer 21)</fs>
+<fs x-large>Major updates</fs>
+== ENVI-core ==
+  * Increased speed due to new math calculation routines
+  * Enhanced License server stability -> more backup servers lead to a higher reliability
+  * More DLLs added to the program folder in case they might not be included in a Windows Build
+  * FullForcing wind speed minimum is now 0.3 m/s to avoid user issues where simulation crashes due to low wind speeds
+  * Temperature values in atmosphere folder now contain NoData value inside of buildings to avoid misleading interpretations
+  * Outputs can be "safely" saved on network folder -> model tries for 1 min, then simply skips
+  * Added a warning for potentially, depending on model area size, low disk space
+  * Added sensible and latent heat flux to building output
+  * Greening and substrate variables are only written if anywhere existent in the model area -> saves time and disk space to write them only if necessary
+== Other Apps ==
+  * MONDE: Updated the new API link for OpenTopography, it can now be imported again
+<fs x-large>Bugfixes/ Changes</fs>
+== ENVI-core ==
+  * Bugfix: SIMX tag about facade mode is now read correctly. It can now be changed to Monin-Obukhov
+  * Bugfix: Wind speed in front of facades is corrected
+  * Bugfix: Facade Greening is corrected
+  * Bugfix: FOX files created from EPW now feature correct precipitation values
+  * Bugfix: FOX files created from EPW now feature correct time for radiation data
+  * Bugfix: NetCDF now stores facade data of Y and Z correctly
+  * Bugfix: Increase stability for winter simulations, e.g. substrates cannot evaporate when temperature is below 0°C anymore
+== Other Apps ==
+  * SPACES: 3D View errors solved
+  * DB-Manager: PM2.5 and PM10 amounts were inverted when their portions were calculated in TrafficManager
+  * LEONARDO: Random errors solved
+----
+<fs xx-large>ENVI-met updates for version 4.4.5 (Summer 20)</fs>
+<fs x-large>Major updates</fs>
+== ENVI-core ==
+  * New calculation method for pressure solver -> Increased stability significantly, reduced simulation crashes (especially instabilites in the Air Temperature, Humidity or CO2 fields). Old pressure solver can still be enabled in ENVI-guide.
+  * Improved NetCDF outputs: Missing Values, Valid Ranges, GridMapping were added to each variable, dimension variables are tagges as axis variables, 2d fields of UTM coordinates including rotation are added
+  * Added a check for necessary NetCDF Microsoft libraries during initialisation of simulation
+== Other Apps ==
+  * BIO-met: Enabled the possibility to write NetCDF outputs
+  * SPACES: Added the option to allow simple changes in vertical gridding even when using Detailed Mode (3D) and to delete existing ghost cells of model areas by reconverting to 2.5D
+  * ForcingManager: ForcingManager can be started using parameter values to create Forcing File (grasshopper plugin support)
+  * MONDE: Additional export options for INX conversion (vertical gridding etc.)
+<fs x-large>Bugfixes/ Changes</fs>
+== ENVI-core ==
+  * Bugfix DEM: Corrected waterspray units [ug/s] as input
+  * Bugfix Radiation: Corrected shortwave radiation received on roofs
+  * Bugfix: Wind field initialization
+== Other Apps ==
+  * BIO-met: Old singlecore Biomet Version 1.5 is not included anymore, users with an old Biomet license need to download it separately
+  * SPACES: Bugfix: Fixed 3d view issue caused by trees
+  * MONDE: Fixed OpenTopography import
+  * MONDE: Builings in model areas featuring DEM don't have steps in the the roof anymore. Average height of DEM on built-up area is used to "elevate" buildings
