9/1/2017 (version 6.0.2)
· Added a function to automatically create a backup file upon opening a HydroDaVE (.dave) file and to maintain up to five most recent backup files. The filename of a backup file consists of the original filename and the string “.~bak~YYYYMMDDHHMMSS”, where YYYY is year, MM is month, DD is day, HH is hour, MM is minute, and SS is second at which the backup file is created.
· Updated the user guide.
2/14/2017 (version 6.0.1)
· Added the Caption function. To add a caption to the Map Viewer, right-click on the Captions group on the TOC of HDX and then select Add Caption. After adding the caption, use the Settings window of the caption to modify its properties and text. Use the mouse to drag and resize the caption.

2/6/2017 (version 6.0.0)
·
Starting
from this release, a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of HDX are available. All
previous releases were 32-bit. When updating to this release, the 32-bit
version will be installed by default. In the future releases, the version
corresponding to your operating system will be installed.
·
If your
computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows, you may download and install
the 64-bit version of HydroDaVE Explorer here.
The 64-bit version is in general 10-15% faster than the 32-bit counterpart. In
addition, the 64-bit version can theoretically access up to 16 Exabytes (i.e.,
16 billion Gigabytes) of memory and will allow you to display much more data
contents and much bigger shapefiles.
·
Upgraded
the map rendering engine. This new version uses much less memory and is 20% faster
by utilizing the GPU of modern graphic adapters. As a tradeoff, a graphical
adapter that supports OpenGL 3.2 and up is required. If the new HydroDaVE
Explorer is able to display map contents on your computer, it passes the
requirement. If HydroDaVE Explorer crashes before displaying map contents, your
graphic adapter is relative old and may need to be upgraded to a new one.
·
Added the
ability to allow for exporting high resolution screenshots (via File > Save
Image).
·
Security
Update: Updated to secured links to the National Water Information System
hosted by the USGS and to the Water Quality Portal hosted by the NWQMC.
·
Security
Update: Updated to the secured link to Elevation Point Query Service provided
by the National Map.
12/6/2016 (version 5.6.2)
·
Added
“Open Attribute Table” functions to point-wise datasets, including Wells,
Surface water stations, Weather stations, Scatter Maps, GeoTracker datasets,
USGS NWIS Wells and Stations, and NWQMC Sites. To access the “Open Attribute
Table”, right-click on an item on the TOC of HDX, and then select “Open
Attribute Table” to open the Attribute table dialog box, that will display the
contents of currently loaded datasets and allow the users to export datasets to
Excel files.
·
Added
“Groundwater Level” and “Depth to Groundwater Level” to the Scatter Map. These
new functions allow the user to get average, minimum, and maximum groundwater
level data within any user-specified time frame.
·
Improved
display performance of all maps.
11/15/2016 (version 5.6.1)
·
When scrolling
the mouse wheel, the map is zoomed in/out to the mouse cursor.
10/13/2016 (version 5.6.0)
·
Added
support for Landsat images with spectral indices, such as NDVI, SAVI, etc.
·
Added
functions for exporting wells, stations, and others to the shapefile format.
·
Fixed
occasional crash when using the Wells or Surface Water Stations dialog boxes.
·
Fixed
occasional crash when switching between wells while the Piper diagram dialog
box for individual wells is minimized.
2/3/2016 (version 5.5.2)
·
The
appearance of most tables can be customized – the columns are movable by
drag-and-drop, the width of columns may be adjusted. The customized table
configurations are persistent within the MinorVersion.
·
Fixed a
bug in the cross-section output in the SVG format (Scalable Vector Graphic)
where lithology patterns may be displayed incorrectly.
1/8/2016 (version 5.5.1)
·
Added
functions to display or hide Dynamic Water Levels (i.e., groundwater levels
measured at wells during pumping) in the Groundwater Level Chart and in the
Multivariate Chart.
1/4/2016 (version 5.5.0)
·
Added
animation functions for Raster Map and Scatter Map. The new functions allow for
visualization and analysis of complex interplay between the natural system and
human activities. For example, scatter maps of historical pumping data can be
combined with raster maps of land surface subsidence to demonstrate the
cause-and-effect of excessive pumping.
·
Updated
the interface to the GeoTracker
dataset and website.
11/10/2015 (version 5.4.5)
·
Added
support for rectilinear grids to Raster Map. Rectilinear grids may be rotated
and may have irregularly-spaced columns/rows (such as finite difference
models). HDX can be used to visualize user’s own grid files or grid files
served from the HydroDaVE Manage Service Platform. The format of the
rectilinear grid file is described in the HDX user guide.
·
Added Save
and Import functions to the Classes dialog that allows users to save and restore
color-value mapping tables.
·
Renamed Add
Offline Shapefile to Import.
·
Improved
stability with large HydroDaVE files.
10/15/2015 (version 5.4.4)
·
Added support for the Point Query
Service (PQS) of the USGS to display ground surface elevation data at the mouse
cursor location. PQS is based on the National Elevation Dataset and presently
interpolates the elevation from the seamless DEM dataset at the resolution of
1/3 arc-second. Outside of the United States, the elevation data is provided by
Google or MapQuest web services.
·
Exported XLSX files are compatible
with Excel 2013 and Excel 2016.
·
Renamed Data Map to Scatter Map and put it under
the HydroDaVE group on the TOC.
·
Renamed Gridded Data Map to Raster
Map and put it under the HydroDaVE group on the TOC.
·
Removed the Climatic Data
group from the TOC.
·
Replaced DOC_NO with Data Provider
in tables and exported files for groundwater level, groundwater quality, and
groundwater production.
7/27/2015 (version 5.4.3)
·
Added support for the daily
precipitation, min/max temperature, and wind speed time series data managed by
the California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS)
·
Added support for the daily
precipitation time series data managed by the California Data Exchange Center
(CDEC).
6/30/2015
(version 5.4.2)
· Wells can be symbolized by their access modes (i.e., public,
restricted, and private). The combination of the access mode of a well and the
permissions of a user determines whether the user has the access to that well.
Refer to Chapter 5 of the HDM user guide for the details about the access
modes.
6/4/2015
(version 5.4.1)
·
Added support for the downscaled
precipitation grids of selected CMIP3 and CMIP5 models and scenarios. Current
coverage includes (1) over one million CMIP3 daily precipitation grids of
California from 1950 to 2099 with the grid resolution of 1/8 degrees (8 miles),
and (2) over ten thousand CMIP5 monthly precipitation grids of California and
Nevada from 1950 to 2030 with the grid resolution of 1/120 degrees (800
meters).
6/1/2015
(version 5.4.0)
·
Added Groundwater Production in the Data Map.
·
Added a Measurement Method
dropdown box to the Groundwater and Surface Water Quality time series charts,
and to the Data Map dialog box. The dropdown box allows the user to select and
display sample results that are determined by (1) Laboratory analysis, (2)
manual on-site measurement; (3) automated on-site measurement; and (4) all of
above. When exporting groundwater quality or surface water quality records,
their respective measurement methods are also exported.
·
All analytes that are named in the
form of AnalyteName (field) have been removed. Their sample results have
been assigned as manual on-site measurement and migrated to respective
analytes without the "(field)" attribute in their names.
·
The following changes are made to
Multivariate Charts: (1) improved download speed, (2) if the Sustainability
metrics and Pumping thresholds of the active well are available, they are
displayed as horizontal dashed and dotted lines on the groundwater level chart.
