 ====== ENVI-met Update History ======

+<fs xx-large>ENVI-met updates for version 5.6.1 (Winter 23/24)</fs>
+<fs x-large>Updates</fs>
+== HeadQuarter/Workspace Manager ==
+    * Bugfix: Workspace and projects could not be created properly

+<fs xx-large>ENVI-met updates for version 5.6 (Winter 23/24)</fs>
+<fs x-large>Updates</fs>
+== ENVI-core ==
+    * Improved SVF analysis using Steyn alorithm
+    * Improved IVS: Higher accuracy also following Steyn algorithm
+    * Much higher accuracy and improved directional radiation fluxes for non-IVS simulations
+    * Improved Full Forcing: Increased wind forcing stability as well as higher computational speed
+    * Dry Soil (0 % soil humidity) can now be simulated. Before it has always been limited to wilting point humidity
+    * Added MRT variable to radiation output folder for convenience
+    * Rel. Humidity from EPW Full Forcing is now limiting values to max. 100 %
+    * Added an option to the SIMX file to limit TKE to positive values only (enabled by default, changeable in the Expert section of the ENVIguide); this option strongly increases simulation stability
+    * Bugfix: Simulation now runs, even if no user pollutant type is selected
+    * Bugfix: Coefficient calculation at building/ground surfaces updated, which causes more heat to be transported from surface to air; air temperature increase is now larger than before for impervious areas
+    * Bugfix: Building cells with zBottom > zTop are not gridded anymore
+    * Bugfix: Gridding bugfixes to prevent issues with T0 invalid temperature inside building: Prevents atmosphere cells enclosed by buildings cell (originating from external plugins) to be handled as atmosphere to avoid crashes -> these cells are now filled with building cells
+    * Bugfix: Amount of received LW radiation of plants corrected
+== LEONARDO ==
+    * Added new feature Multi Data Maps to store several time slices of data in one map
+    * Datalayer is now default visualized as floating legend
+    * To avoid ouliers to distort legend, min and max values of floating legend are stretched between 1 and 99 percentile
+    * Display and export animations of Multi Data Maps
+    * New version of Classification dialog with enhanced options and GUI implementation
+== BIO-met ==
+    * Dynamic Thermal Comfort: Added option to classify values for walks
+    * Minor bugfixes
+== SPACES ==
+    * Bugfix: Get Location button fixed to automatically fill in model area coordinates as well as timezone longitude
+    * Bugfix: Z-SingleWalls could not be removed
+    * Bugfix: Model Area Analyzer could not be opened with enabled telescoping
+    * Bugfix: Cut Area tool did not shift all indices (for example for soil profiles) correctly
+== ENVIguide ==
+    * GUI now has a larger temporal update interval at the Full Forcing page to allow easier selection/loading of FOX files
+    * Bugfix: Loading of SIMX with disabled IVS automatically enabled IVS again, which is now removed

+<fs xx-large>ENVI-met updates for version 5.5.1 (Summer 23)</fs>
+<fs x-large>Updates</fs>
+== ENVI-core ==
+    * Improved wind flow stability
+    * Increased simulation speed due to code optimization)
+    * Disabled evapotranspiration for plants without roots
+    * Bugfix for ACRT module for handling the solar altitude angle of exactly 0 degree
+    * Improved soil model and plant root model (water uptake of plants)
+    * FullForcing, improved profile calculation, better file format, no time interval restrictions anymore
+== BIO-met ==
+    * Added minimize/maximize window option
+== SPACES ==
+    * Bugfix for Model Inspector in Spaces for telescoped model areas
+    * Bugfix: Removing Z-direction Single Walls was not possible
+== DBManager ==
+    * Changes in tree database:
+    * Lowered amount of filled LAD cells for Abstract Trees to reduce their overall density
+    * Lowered overall LAD values for all Abstract Trees (also Legacy) and some dense simple plants due to turbulence issues with ultra-high-density plants
+    * Corrected leaf type to conifer for Abstract Conifers

     * Improvement of longwave radiation calculation, mainly affecting nocturnal urban heat island and improving MRT accuracy
     * Improved border inflow and wind conditions: Increased stability for low wind conditions (below to 1 m/s) and high wind conditions (more than 5 m/s)
+    * Improved vertical wind profiles for model areas with DEM / terrain (vertical wind profiles are now terrain following)
     * Overhaul of greening module (including a detailled technical paper and new output variables)
     * Improved soil model and plant root model (water uptake of plants)
