Types of Packages and Versioning

Installer vs Portable

On this page one can find download links to multiple versions of our tools, to which release notes can be found here. Currently, we are providing packages marked as installer or portable.

installer - These packages contain an installation file that manages generation of a folder structure, generating shortcuts, etc., and connecting all tools that we are providing within the packages. New installations are independent of the previous ones, which means that one does not lose the previous versions of the tool during the installation process.

portable - These packages are zip files containing folder structure with all the tools. One does not need to install this package; It is ready to use directly as downloaded and unpacked. However, no shortcuts, system variables, or paths for license files are set up in these packages. These require manual setup. It may be a good choice for those who do not have administrator rights on the computer.

Versions

We are currently providing three versions of our tools: \(\mathrm{\textcolor{Dandelion}{alpha}}\), \(\mathrm{\textcolor{WildStrawberry}{beta}}\), and \(\mathrm{\textcolor{Black}{stable}}\).

\(\mathrm{\textcolor{WildStrawberry}{beta}}\) - It is a version of the tool which typically is internally consistent, and contains major changes introduced in some tools.

• Some major features are quantitatively tested.

• Included documentation (pdf) is updated and consistent with the provided package.

\(\mathrm{\textcolor{Black}{stable}}\) - It is a version of the tool which fulfills all requirements for being called beta, and for which we have carefully tested values outputted from simulations to make sure that all the models are running as they should.
