Stock Synthesis executables for version 3.30.07.01 dated 2017-08-07 are available for 64-bit Windows, OS X, and Linux. There also is a new post in the wiki: Stock Synthesis 3.3 / Discussion Topics / Settlement Events and Growth. Rick will try to write a Discussion Topic monthly to cover various questions commonly asked by users, so check there occasionally.
Changes in 3.30.07.02 include
- enhanced control of phases when using depletion fleet
- improved reporting of selectivity in forecast era
- reporting more info in fit_age_comps section to match what is displayed for fit_len_comps
- removed the constraint that the blocks cannot end after retro_yr in order to allow changes in forecast
- added a column with ABC_buffer to the time_series table in report.sso
- augmentation of the SPR/YPR profile in report.sso to show mean age of catch and other information
- revised detailed F input to allow filling all years with one input record
Bug fixes include
- issue with overwriting averaged forecast selectivity with base selectivity when time-varying was used.
- issue with reporting of dev column in INDEX_2 section of Report.sso
- issue with creation of settlement timings from multiple settlement events that happen in same month
The SS 3.30 Change Log, which is available in the Document Library, has more information. We updated the user manual to reflect these changes.
The next release will be in a couple of weeks and will address a few recently detected issues:
- Age-specific K was disabled.
- Growth was not behaving properly with settlement age > 0.
- Although fishing and survey fleets can now be in any order, some parts of the code still were expecting the fishing fleets to be first.
