AGEPRO-GUI version 4.3.5

AGEPRO-GUI version 4.3.5 is a minor release. The release includes revisions to the AGEPRO Reference Manual (@JonBrodziak).

AGEPRO Version 4.3.4

AGEPRO version 4.3.4 focuses on refactoring AGEPRO-GUI and AGPEPRO-CoreLib code base with modern C# code styles, reduce redundancies, and improve code readability

In addition, the version introduces a new example projection; Uku Projection Base (2019-2026). This is a fishing mortality and stock biomass projection for the Uku snapper from a 2020 stock assessment in Hawaii.

  • A fallback table will be created if the StochasticWeightAge is Multi-Fleet: Call CreateStochasticAgeFallBackTable to handle StochasticWeightAge fleet Dependency and to remove redundancy. (#9)
  • Renamed LoadWeightAgeInputData -> LoadStochasticWeightAgeInputData.
  • Cleaned up null checks
  • Set access to helper method CreateFallbackAgeTable to private.
• CreateStochasticParameterFallbackDataTable: Replaced genOpt class from AGEPRO-GUI ControlGeneral Class object to AGEPRO-CoreLib General Options Object to match consistency with Stochastic Data Tables.
• Fixed data binding issues for PStar and Rebuilder values.
  • Fixed an issue where new/modified PStar or Rebuilder GUI input didn't save to input data file.
• General Options input from is the first AGEPRO parameter binded with its AGEPRO-CoreLib counterpart, when setting user generated new cases.
