Some of the more interesting accomplishments from the March 2011 sprint:
- Released GMS 8.0 with lots of new features including a free Community Edition, support for MODFLOW 2005 and SEAWAT, faster and better looking graphics, improved contouring, ArcGIS map server layers, and much more.
- Updated the GMS web pages at aquaveo.com. The graphics are better, the content and layout is much easier on the eyes, there's a new learning center with videos and tutorials, and a new editions and pricing page, and a new "Why MODFLOW with GMS?" page.
- Posted a new video on our YouTube channel showing the MODFLOW stream package and streams in a conceptual model.
- Fixed 33 bugs
- Found and fixed some memory leaks
- Finished the new lighting options that will be included in version 8.1
- Made good progress on implementing the new Rasters that will be available in 8.2 and will handle DEM data much better.
- Added a bunch of pages to the wiki about the SEAWAT interface.
- Made good progress on improving the annotations that are new in 8.0 and will work much better in 8.1
