P&K MPI

Program Version Review

---

Version 2.5.1.138 (2011-11-30)

• The order of run parameters for austal2000.exe has been changed as we got one case where this caused problems. Error ./.austal2000.log could not be written.
• We sometimes use DOS 8.3 names to overcome problems with special characters. The program will now generate an error if DOS 8.3 names were turned off in the registry

---

Version 2.5.1.135 (2011-11-18)

• The huge, in verbose mode (verbosity>3), created taldia.log files could crash pk_mpi.exe. The merging of these files are now done using less memory. Now what will one do with a 800MB log file?

---

Version 2.5.1.133 (2011-10-14)

• Minor correction to catch possible problems with special characters in paths (e.g. lib) and austal2000.txt.

Version 2.5.1 (2011-09-19)

• Includes AUTSTAL2000 2.5.1 (Problem 2011-09-12 fixed (PRFMOD and AKS)

---

Version 2.1.0/Windows (2011-07-25)

• New config program. This has been introduced to overcome UAC problems. The program will be invoked at installation time or when double clicking on pk_mpi.exe. Its a GUI program and allows to set max. Processes for cases one wishes to reduce that or if the CPU wasn't properly detected.

---

Version 2.0.0/Windows (2011-03-30)

• If started with option -l, possibly created volout* files were not copied to the project directory.

---

Version 1.0.13/Windows (2009-10-07)

• If pk_mpi working directories exists, pk_mpi will now ask if it shall delete those.
• On I7 prozessors HyperThreads can be used with an 8-Core License. Don't turn this on on other processors as it will cause wrong results.

---

Version 1.0.10/Windows (2009-03-23)

• Read-Only files were copied with this attribute into the working directories and couldn't be deleted afterwords. Such files will be deleted now.
• The log output contains now specific information about the file causing problems on a delete request in the file message.log. The file is located in the directory: "c:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Lakes\Austal View\Models" or "c:\Program files\Lakes\Austal View\Models" or equivalent.
• The input prompt in the case of error is now preceded with the message "Hit Enter to continue".
