We re-install ecFlow with ecFlowUI from time to time at ECMWF on the workstations and on ecgate (see Getting Started with ecFlowUI). On this page we will document the main features and improvements with each installation. Note that this page was only started in December 2016 and so does not contain updates from the previous months. The release notes for the 'core' of ecFlow are here.

Planned installation
| Area | Description | Notes | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tree view | New feature: | ||||||||||||||||
| Limits | New feature: the limit editor now shows the list of nodes consuming the given limit. The selected node paths can be removed from the list. | ||||||||||||||||
| Limits | New feature: it is now possible to choose between circle or rectangle limit shape (see Edit → Preferences → Appearance → Attributes → Limit shape). The default limit shape is "circle". |
| |||||||||||||||
| Flags | New feature: flag are now displayed in the 'Info' Info panel |
| |||||||||||||||
| Info panel | New feature: the 'Info', 'Manual', 'Script' and 'Job' Info panels can now be manually updated with the provided update button |
| |||||||||||||||
| Panels | New feature:a new button was added to the panel headers (tree view, table view and info panel) to maximise the panel area. When this button is pressed the panel occupies all the available space in the given tab and the other panels will be hidden. At the same time a warning message appears in the header saying "Panel maximised". By pressing the button again the original panel layout in the tab is restored. |

| Icons | Changed behaviour: some of the node icons were improved. The table below summarises the changes:
| ||||||||||||||||
| Table view | Changed behaviour: when a selection is broadcast to the table view (e.g. from a tree view, search result view etc) it will only be visible if it matches the filter set on the table view. Please note that is different to the previous behaviour when the broadcast selection was always shown in the table view even if it did not match the filter. | ||||||||||||||||
| Output log | Changed behaviour: line numbers are not shown any more in the output log ('Output' panel) to save space | ||||||||||||||||
| Context menu | Improvement: when multiple attributes are selected in one of the views the context menu does not offer any commands. | ||||||||||||||||
| Nodes | Improvement: tree and table views will now always show the selected node, even if it does not match the filtering criteria. For example, if a tree view has a status filter which does not display completed nodes, and the user clicks on a completed node from a search result or a notification, then it will appear in any tree or table view that is in the linked state. | ECFLOW-813 | |||||||||||||||
| Tree view | Improvement: when the result of a search is an attribute and it is clicked on, it becomes selected in any linked tree views | ECFLOW-839 | |||||||||||||||
| Variables panel | Improvement: the variables panel now has a horizontal scrollbar, allowing the easy viewing of long variables | ECFLOW-830 | |||||||||||||||
| Update | Fix: fixed issue when setting the server update frequency did not always make effect immediately | ECFLOW-832 |

Note that on ECMWF machines, you need to load the 'dev' module of ecflow to get the 4.5.0 test version:
This command should only be for testing the new user interface and not for running a server! |
