            SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN RIVERWARE PATCH RELEASE 7.1.1
          -----------------------------------------------------
                          Released July 26, 2017
            -----------------------------------------------------


Database DMI on/off States:
----------------------
The Database DMI on/off status was improved as follows:
- Turning off a dataset causes its slot selections to be shown as off.
- Turning off all slot selections causes the dataset to be shown as off.
- The dataset is shown as a tristate (on, off, partially on) based on the
state of its slot selections.
In addition, the on/off state is preserved in the model file when saved.


Inline Power - Specify Units Generating: Unit Turbine Release is now
included
----------------------
When the Specify Units Generating method was originally implemented for
RiverWare 7.1, it only included Generation Capacity; the Power calculation
was independent of Turbine Release. Now Unit Turbine Capacity has been
added to the Unit Capacity slot, and you can optionally input the Unit
Turbine Capacity. Also a new Unit Turbine Release agg series slot was
added. You can optionally input the Unit Turbine Release. If you do not
input Unit Turbine Release, it is calculated by the method by multiplying
the Unit Turbine Capacity by the Unit Generation Fraction. The method also
now sets the total plant Turbine Release.

As part of this enhancement, the Unit Capacity table slot was converted
from a 1xN slot with one column for each unit's generation capacity to a
Nx2 table with a row for each unit. The first column is now Unit Turbine
Capacity (flow), and the second column is now Unit Generation Capacity
(power). If this method was previously implemented in a model using
RiverWare 7.1, it will be necessary to repopulate the Unit Capacity slot
with data the first time the model is loaded in the new version of
RiverWare.

See the RiverWare help Objects section 14.1.2.3 for more information.


New Reservoir Diversion Power Categories:
----------------------
New categories were added to the reservoirs that enable you to model power
produced through the Diversion slot.
Three new categories were added to the Reservoirs. Each has a default
method of None and one new non-default method:
Diversion Power: Diversion Power Efficiency Curve
Diversion Tailwater: Diversion Base Value Plus Lookup
Diversion Power Bypass: Diversion Power Bypass Capacity Table

See the RiverWare help Objects section 15.1.27 for more information.


Bugs
----------------------
The following issues were addressed:
- 5973: Showing a tooltip raised inactive window obscuring other dialogs.
- 5986: Distributed MRM was not removing partial RDF files. Now the
        intermediate, partial RDF files are removed after they have been
        combined.
- 5894: RDF to Excel did not handle slash in environment variable
        correctly
