Last revision of these notes: September 26, 2007

March 23, 2007

1. New Event Monitor variable was added to Suppose, PotFType, returns the Fire
Type for a severe or moderate fire.

April 9, 2007

2. Two new Event Monitor functions were added to Suppose; PotSRate, returns the
potential fire spread rate for a severe or moderate fire, PotReInt, returns the 
potential fire reaction intensity for severe or moderate fire.

3.
The diameter and height distribution post processor, the fuels and potential fire 
table post processor, spectrum export files post processor were all removed. The 
svs movies post processor was changed so the files have *.bmp extension. The default 
file reference number on the snagout keyword was changed. The treelist keyword was 
corrected since field 7 was being printed to field 6 (which isn't used).

4. The Species codes were updated. See FVS Bulletin number 664-051007.txt for details..

June 21, 2007

5. The CYCLEAT keyword was added to Suppose, it allows the user to specify the cycle 
breaks in the simulation.

6. Some fixes were made to the input access database, field and table names. Spelling 
corrections were made in some of the thinning management actions. 

7. Additional species codes were updated in Suppose to create consistency. 

8. Carbon Reports (stand carbon report and the harvested carbon report) were 
added as a selection in Select Model Output

9. The Crown Thinning Management Action was taken out of the Thinning and Pruning
 Management Header.
 
 July 18, 2007
 
 10. The TreeBio Event monitor function was added to Suppose. This function will allow users
 to compute dead and or live tree biomass, by standing and or removed, canopy and or main stem, 
 species and size class. 

August 24, 2007

11. A modify time scale option was added to the Select Modifiers window in Suppose. This will 
enable users to more easily manipulate FVS cycles.

12. Updated the Plant and Natural Management Action window so that the varaints that allowed 
sprouting was consitant with the FVS code.

13. The TreeFmt keyword was added. This will allow users to set the FORTRAN tree format data
statement with in Suppose. Previously users that wanted to change the default had to do it 
outside of the Suppose Interface.

14. Add the VolEqNum keyword. This is a new enhancement which allows users to select any valid 
volume equation from the National Volume Estimator Library to calculate boardfoot or cubic
foot volume.

September 26, 2007

15. The CarbStat Event Monitor Function was added. This function allows user to return a specific 
carbon pool from the Carbon Report Table. Modified the CarbCalc keyword, allowing users to specify
the units the report is in (imperial tons/ac, metric tons/ha, or metric tons/ac).

16. Made a correction to the Event Monitor TreeBio function regarding Live and Dead trees.

17. Changed the description of Field 7 in the StdInfo keyword, from "Stand Latidue in degrees" to
"Potential Vegetation Reference Code." Made correction to the StdInfo keyword for field 2 for
the PN and WC variant so that a plant association code pick list was available (previously it was not).
