This page lists the major changes introduced in V4.0
New equations
New equations have been introduced to improve the definition of a fishery.

- Reproduction (a population property that replaces the group reproduction rate)
- Accessibility (this equation may be used in place of the accessibility table)
Group screening
Group screening was introduced to modify a group of factors together for sensitivity analysis
Factors
More fishery parameters can be defined as factors for analysis.
- Using rules as factors
- Using rule parameters as factors
- Defining a set of equations as a discrete valued factor
- Defining the initial populations as factors
Community repository
There is now a community repository for user scripts as well as the official repository
This repository holds scripts written and submitted by users. Authenticated users can submit any scripts that may be of
interest to other users and any user can download these scripts, simplifying collaboration between users.
Renamed classes and interfaces
Some classes have been renamed for clarity
- Date class has been renamed TimeStep to avoid confusion with java.util.Date
- AnalysePlan interface has been renamed SimulationPlan to avoid confusion with sensitivity analyses
- SensitivityCalculator interface has been renamed SensitivityAnalysis
