Latest software updates

2.5.0:

  • Allow (EPD) results as default providers in processes
  • Allow LCC for databases linked to libraries
  • Copy/paste shortcuts in the navigator
  • Import results of one EPD into a dedicated folder
  • Fix: scale activity values in social aspects in library export
  • Fix: project calculation fails with systems that have no impact contributions
  • Fix: hidden icon within the JSON import
  • Fix: incorrect “unlinked” icon for avoided products in model graph

2.4.1:

  • Remove libraries from database (experimental).
  • ILCD export: global parameters are only written to a process, when they are used in formulas of that process.
  • Fix: corrected display of the connection state in the connection dialog of the graphical editor.
  • Fix: flow editor page with regionalized characterization factors crashed sometimes.
  • Fix: reference data no longer shows errors during database validation.
  • Fix: copy datasets from the library.

2.4.0:

  • Fixed allocation factors applied to avoided flows.
  • Improved number generation for log-normal distributions.
  • Fixed stack overflow in JSON export when providers are included.
  • Fixed selection errors in export dialogues.
  • Enabled support for longer formulas in dependent parameters.
  • Fixed negative results for waste processes in libraries.
  • Ensured encrypted libraries can now be used in projects.
  • Added support for analysis groups and library fields in the IPC API.
  • Introduced analysis groups functionality.
  • Updated to Java 21 and Eclipse 4.34.
  • Refreshed and updated reference data.

2.3.1:

  • Bugfix: Corrected conflict identification when merging commits containing changes to datasets that were also changed locally

2.3:

  • Support for the newest CS version & improvements of the CS repository view in openLCA,
  • A new tool: Parameter analysis (e.g. time modelling), to run calculations over specific parameter ranges,
  • More EPD meta-data for better compatibility with ILCD+EPD,
  • Better SimaPro CSV import,
  • Three new graphical editors’ themes (Nord Light, Nord Dark and Poimandres).

2.2:

  • An updated documentation tab in the process editor, now featuring many more fields for ILCD compatibility, including multiple reviews, compliance declarations, and flow completeness.
  • An improved ILCD import (also for EPDs),
  • A soda4LCA tool for searching and downloading datasets from soda4LCA online databases (see Tools → soda4LCA andKnown hoststhen for pre-configured database connections),
  • Enhanced internationalization of messages, popups, and labels, increasing coverage by 70%. More translations and additional languages will be added soon.
  • Bug fixes: the system should no longer crash due to 0-values in product outputs and waste inputs (e.g., in LCA commons). The validation process will now also detect these flows.

2.1.1:

  • LCA Collaboration Server: commit empty category,
  • bug fixes.

2.1:

  • added a new way to calculate and show social indicators,
  • bug fixes in model graph for big process systems,
  • several UI improvements (dark mode, …),
  • ILCD export for GaBi improved, selection of a pre-filled ILCD template to meet GaBi folder requirements in the import,
  • CS bug fix: rename of folders error is now corrected.

2.0.4:

  • fix and dark mode design for data quality,
  • simplified Chinese translation,
  • fix number format preferences, . faster supply chain deletion in the model graph,
  • calculation of regionalized LCIA factors:
    • validation & automatic correction of geometries,
    • testing intersections with locations from the database,
    • merge strategies for calculated factors: replace or keep existing factors,
    • visualization of generated factors per flow,
  • database grouping.

2.0.3:

  • integration of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL),
  • convert error to warning when opening a Model Graph due to CSS parsing,
  • fix text overlapping on the welcome page,
  • display the name of the active DB,
  • bug fixes.

2.0.2:

  • handling & support for library links in JSON packages,
  • Excel export of results: configuration + upstream results,
  • export option with providers for JSON packages,
  • advanced export configuration for SimaPro CSV,
  • better handling of negative characterization factors when impact direction is set,
  • impact analysis of processes: show location codes for regionalized system processes,
  • rename global parameters: rename them also in cost-formulas,
  • parameter usage: show usage in cost formulas in usage tree,
  • ILCD import: internal-ids must start with 1,
  • library export without inversion (useful for library based databases in cloud services),
  • show out-of-memory error when editor crashes for lazy calculations,
  • added a function WeightedMeanProvider.of(ResultProvider) for PSILCA raw-value calculation (script will come soon),
  • improved dark mode icons.

2.0.1:

  • fix on the Sankey diagram (loops),
  • fixed a memory leak in the calculation (mainly affects the Monte Carlo simulation),
  • “AND” combines words in the search bar,
  • remove the process contribution from the report for now as they are available in the project result display,
  • fix on the JSON export (multiple global parameters with the same name),
  • display direct contributions in the upstream tree,
  • updates of the IPC API,
  • bug fixes.
