Breaking Changes¶
Breaking changes are changes made to functionality that requires user action as part of an upgrade to ensure that specific functionality will work after the upgrade.
If any breaking changes has been made to a release, the breaking changes will be described in the release notes.
MIKE1D and MIKE+ adapter models¶
As a result of fixing issues with identifying and reading output time series on links, models registered with the MIKE1D or the MIKE+ adapters, should be reregistered in order to parse links correctly.
In case links output is not used, there is no need for doing a re-registration of the models.

GIS Manager¶
Map layer Symbology template for raster¶
A new feature is added where one can choose to apply a symbology template to a map Layer Style for Style type 'Value ranges'.
The default template applied to raster layer is the MIKE Zero 16 color rainbow template but one can choose to apply an alternative symbology template from the context menu of the layer by right clicking.
For detailed explanation on working with map and applying asymbology template refer to the user documentation
Time Series¶
Folder Provider (DFS0)¶
User can access the time series stored on disk as dfs0 files through Folder Provider option in Time Series Explorer. When a Time series Folder provider connection is configured, it is possible to register .dfs0 time series from the context menu of the Time Series Explorer root node as shown below.
For detailed explanation on configuring Folder Provider connection, refer to the user documentation
Core¶
Find Data¶
New Ribbon item for finding entities in providers is implemented.
The user can enter a string or a text, select the data provider to search, as shown below.
Once the search completes, the results corresponding to the search will be listed. Double clicking a result will take to the exact path in the explorer of the data provider.
Time Series¶
Time Series Import Wizard¶
Time Series Import Wizard allows importing time series files from disk into the database using Time Series Import tools.
The Time Series Import Wizard is located in the Data ribbon page as shown below.
Selecting Time Series Import from the Data section will show the Wizard.
In connection with making the new wizard, tool properties grouping has been updated for easing the use of the import tools.
To load the files, click on the Select Files button and chose the file or files that needs importing.
