Pathfinder 2011.1

What's New

Changes since Pathfinder 2011.0.0711:

• Fixed a bug related in the string-pulling algorithm that could cause simulations to hang.
• For supported international locales, the main user interface and 3D results will now automatically detect and load locale-appropriate text.
• The floor extraction tool now uses a "gap tolerance" which is editable via the properties panel. This gap tolerance prevents the extraction tool from flowing through - small gaps in the imported geometry.
• Fixed a bug in the 3D results related to locales that use a comma as a decimal separator. In some cases, the 3D results was incorrectly parsing resource files that were saved using US decimal separators and this led display instabilities.
• When the main UI creates images of imported geometry for use by the 3D results, an alternate file name will be used if an image exists with different data.
• Fixed a bug that prevented PTH files containing images from being loaded with the current version.
• Improved an error message when running the simulation. Users will now be directed to look at the tree for additional information about errors.

Changes in Patch 2011.1.0923

• Fixed a bug that would cause the 3D results to crash when invoked with a -locale argument that was unknown to the wxWidgets locale system

Changes in Patch 2011.1.0928

• In situations where a waypoint had been placed in a room that required re-entrant path testing, Pathfinder will no longer crash when an occupant seeking that waypoint enters the room.

Changes in Patch 2011.1.1104

Previously, when importing a PyroSim model containing geometry composites, PyroSim reported an error and the import failed. This error has been fixed and PyroSim models containing composite geometry can now be imported without error.

In addition, this release includes updates to the translation files for localized versions of Pathfinder.

Changes in Patch 2011.1.1128

This bug affects the "_doors.csv" and "_rooms.csv" output files. This bug does not affect users in locales that use "." (period, full stop) as the decimal character.

Because the CSV file writer was locale-sensitive but the reader was not, commas in the time column of both CSV files could be incorrectly interpreted as a column break and incorrect data could be displayed in Pathfinder's 2D results.

This fix forces the CSV file writer to use an English locale when creating the file. Any existing CSV files that were affected will still contain the error. To repair output files, these simulations must be re-run. Alternately, the CSV output files can be manually repaired.

Changes in Patch 2011.1.1702

This version includes updates necessary for Pathfinder 2011 to import PSM files created by PyroSim 2012.

Pathfinder can now import PSM files created by PyroSim 2012
