EPANET 2 UPDATE HISTORY

=======================
-----------------------Builds 2.00.01 - 2.00.04
-----------------------Beta releases A through D.
---------------------Build 2.00.05 (6/1/00)
---------------------The first official release of EPANET 2.0.
----------------------Build 2.00.06 (9/11/00)
----------------------User Interface Bug Fixes (epanet2w.exe):
1. Using the Property Editor to edit the Base Demand
for a junction with multiple demand categories now
correctly updates its value in the internal database.
2. The distances between nodes displayed on a Profile
Plot have been corrected.
3. The demands in an imported demand scenario file
are now assigned correctly to the nodes in the
network.
4. Curved pipes are no longer represented as straight
lines in map files exported in DXF format.
5. In a Group Edit operation, conditions placed on string
properties, such as Tags or Demand Patterns, are now
processed correctly.
Computational Engine Bug Fixes (epanet2.dll and
epanet2d.exe):
1. The conversion factor used for IMGD flow units has been
corrected. (All flow conversion factors have been
updated to maintain 4-5 significant digits. This
might cause some minor differences in computed results
from earlier versions.)
2. Any bulk reaction coefficient assigned to a tank
is now correctly inactivated when a source trace
analysis is made.
3. The check to see if pipes to full/empty tanks should be
closed has been modified to account for conditions where
the headloss across the pipe is negligible (a leftover
bug from Version 1.1).
4. An FCV closed by a rule can now be restored to either
an open or active status at a later time via another
rule.
5. Several tuning parameters and steps of the hydraulic
analyis algorithm were modified to enhance its

robustness. Appendix D of the EPANET Users Manual has

been revised to reflect these changes.
-----------------------Build 2.00.07 (12/11/00)
-----------------------User Interface Bug Fixes (epanet2w.exe)
6. Using the Property Editor to edit the Base Demand for a
junction with multiple demand categories now correctly
updates its value in the internal database (see Bug 1
above) and also passes this value to the network solver
when an analysis is made.
7. The program now runs correctly when there are no
printers installed for Windows.
8. A custom zoom window can now be drawn in any direction.
Before if the window was not drawn from top-left to
bottom-right then a default zoom (2x) would occur.
9. If the Map Window is in Vertex Editing mode and an
object is selected from either the Browser or the Map
Finder then vertex editing will now be disabled and
the map will be placed into Object Selection mode.
10. The '&' character in an ID label will now display
correctly in the Flyover map labels.
11. The simulation Time Legend will now display correctly
when the Clock Start Time option is expressed in decimal
hours instead of hours:minutes notation.
12. Map printing has been modified so that line widths and
font sizes remain close to how they appear on the screen.
13. For safety's sake, the Auto-Length feature is automatically
disabled whenever a new project is opened.
Computational Engine Bug Fixes (epanet2.dll and
epanet2d.exe):
6. The units of SYSTEM DEMAND in rule-based controls have
been fixed to match those set by the user (rather than
always be cfs).
7. The 2-compartment tank mixing model has been modified to
prevent water quality concentrations from "blowing up"
when tank inflow is almost equal to its outflow.
8. Error message 222 has been added to test if both ends
of a link are the same node.
9. File names with spaces in them will now be recognized in
the Toolkit functions ENsavehydfile and ENusehydfile.
10. The Toolkit function ENgetlinkvalue will now correctly
return the flow in a pump whose status was changed from
what its initial value was.

11. An error in the way that multi-point pump curves were

adjusted for a variable speed setting has been fixed.
-----------------------Build 2.00.07a (1/2/01)
-----------------------This build corrects problems that cropped up when fixes
were made to GUI bugs 6 and 12 in Build 2.00.07.
-----------------------Build 2.00.07b (1/5/01)
-----------------------Corrects an oversight in Build 2.00.07a that prevents .NET files
created with Build 2.00.07 from being read by later builds.
----------------------Build 2.00.08 (3/2/01)
----------------------User Interface Bug Fixes (epanet2w.exe)
14. The Sepoint Booster and Flow Paced Booster options for water
quality sources were being switched when a network was
exported to file in ASCE text format.
15. Clicking the Options button on the Standard Toolbar had no
effect when one wanted to edit options for Graphs,
Contour Plots, Tables or Calibration Reports.
16. The view variable Headloss is now labelled as Unit Headloss
to reinforce the fact that it represents the headloss per
1000 ft (or 1000 m) of pipe.
Computational Engine Bug Fixes (epanet2.dll and
epanet2d.exe):
12. The Toolkit function ENsaveinpfile was not correctly writing
to file the name of an efficiency curve specified for a pump.
13. The Toolkit function ENgetcontrol was not returning a setting
value of 0 when the control in question closed a pipe (as
opposed to a pump).
14. The Toolkit function ENsetqualtype was not re-setting the
unit conversion factor for concentration when the water
quality analysis was being changed between chemical, age,
and trace analyses.
15. In the Toolkit function ENinitH(flag), the flag argument can
now be a 2-digit number. A 0 or 1 in the right-most digit
determines if hydraulic results are saved to file or not.
A 0 or 1 in the left digit determines whether all flows will
be re-initialized to 1 cfs or not.
16. When a numerical setting (as opposed to an OPEN/CLOSED status)
was assigned to a pipe as the action in a control or rule, the
action was ignored. Now a numerical setting of 0 means that
the pipe will close, while a setting greater than 0 will open

the pipe.
17. It is now illegal to have a Flow Control Valve connected
directly to the upstream node of a Pressure Sustaining Valve
or to the downstream node of a Pressure Reducing Valve.
NOTE: The computational engine (epanet2.dll and epanet2d.exe) was
re-compiled using version 5.5.1 of Borland C++ and version
5.00 of the Borland linker. Toolkit users who program in
C/C++ must use the .lib files in the latest version of the
Toolkit (Build 2.00.08 or higher) to link EPANET2.DLL
sucessfully with their projects.
-----------------------Build 2.00.09 (11/19/01)
-----------------------User Interface Bug Fixes (epanet2w.exe)
17. The problem with the Setpoint Booster and Flow Paced Booster
source types being switched when exported (see Item 14 above)
has finally been fixed.
18. The Background map was not being panned with the network when
the Find dialog caused a zoomed-in map to pan to the found item.
19. ID labels with double quotes in them, such as 123"abc"456, were
being imported from .INP files as separate tokens (123, abc,
and 456) instead of as a single string.
20. X and Y coordinates with many significant digits (i.e., > 8)
were not being read with full precision from imported .INP files.
Computational Engine Bug Fixes (epanet2.dll and
epanet2d.exe):
18. The flow tolerance used to test the status of PRVs and other
valves was too large, causing the program to miss some status
changes under very small flows.
19. The check used to prevent outflow from an empty tank could fail
when the headloss through the outflow pipe was negligible.
20. The logic used to determine if pumps connected directly to
full or empty tanks should be closed has been corrected.
21. In the toolkit function ENgetlinkvalue, the check for a closed
pipe was using the initial pipe status instead of the current
status.
22. The toolkit function ENsaveinpfile was not writing to file
correctly the nodal demands and the emitter exponent value.
-----------------------Build 2.00.09a (12/8/01)
-----------------------User Interface Bug Fixes (epanet2w.exe)
21. When drawing objects on the map, the user would be switched back to
object selection mode after each object was drawn, rather than
remaining in drawing mode until the switch was made manually.

-----------------------Build 2.00.10 (6/24/02)

-----------------------User Interface Bug Fixes (epanet2w.exe)
22. The SPEED keyword in the [PUMP] lines of an imported .INP file
was not being recognized.
23. There was no way to change the reaction order parameter for tanks.
Now it is always set equal to the value specified for bulk order.
24. More space was added to the columns of a Calibration Report for
displaying the mean observed and mean predicted values at each
sampling location.
Computational Engine Bug Fixes (epanet2.dll and
epanet2d.exe):
23. At intermediate times when tanks would normally become full they
could actually be just below full because EPANET measures time
in integer seconds. In some cases this would cause water age in
the tank to continually increase with time and never reach an
equilbrium value.
24. The report generated by the command-line or toolkit versions of
EPANET was printing an incorrect demand charge in its Energy
section when no demand charge was specified in the input file.
25. The report was also not always able to display very small or very
large values in its tables.
26. The Status Report could not distinguish the time of events that
occurred within seconds of one another (status time is now shown
as hours:minutes:seconds).
27. No check was being made to ensure that the time pattern assigned
to a non-primary demand category at a node actually existed.
28. The following toolkit problems were corrected:
a. map coordinate data was being lost when the ENsaveinpfile
function was called to overwrite the original input file
b. not enough decimal places were being used to write out D-W
roughness heights with the ENsaveinpfile function
c. when demands are specified in the [DEMANDS] section of the
input file instead of the [JUNCTIONS] section, using
ENgetnodevalue to check on a base demand would return zero
and trying to change the demand using ENsetnodevalue would
instead create a new demand category.
d. ENgetlinkvalue could return an invalid energy value for a
closed link.
