Beta Tester Page

The beta testing cycle for Analytica 4.3 ended on 14 March 2011. We'd like to extend our thanks to all beta testers for their feedback during this testing cycle. You can now download the official 4.3.1 release from the Lumina Downloads page.

The content on this page is relevant when a beta-testing cycle is in effect. Currently, we are not in a beta testing cycle.

We always welcome bug reports, even when they occur in release builds. If you find a bug in release 4.3.1, please report it to us, as always, at support@lumina.com.

Release Notes

See release notes for what's changed in each beta release. It lists new features and fixes to significant problems.

Example Models demonstrating new 4.3 features

  • Most of the example models in the Optimization Models directory have been updated to demonstrate their formulation with structured optimization (i.e., using DefineOptimization).
  • We hope to provide more examples during the beta-testing period.
  • Uploading Example Models: Please help by contributing example models, especially models demonstrating features new to 4.2! Here's how to upload contributions...

Known issues

  • The Optimizer manual, providing the introductory material on Structured Optimization, is in a state of development. It is currently the best source for an introduction to these features, but is not complete.
  • During the beta cycle, documentation on new features is always kept current in the Wiki, but the PDF manuals tend to lag in their incorporation of the same content. So in early beta testing, rely more on the Wiki for this info. Later in the cycle, we'll want feedback on content and errors in the manuals as well.
