A Chronological Record of how NEM-Review has evolved

The following timetable has been compiled to provide a record of how NEM-Review has evolved over time in response to your comments, compliments, criticisms and suggestions for improvements (please keep them coming!).

NEM-Review version 6

In a few months ....

We will wrap up the upgrade to version 6 with the release of v6.2.0 - at which point in time we will turn off v5 (including this old portal) and migrate all clients onto v6 at no added charge, as a standard part of their annual licences.

1^st September 2009

We've released v6.1.1 of NEM-Review, as our first interim upgrade to NEM-Review v6.1 - incorporating some of the feedback we have received from the early adopters who have been running v6.1.0

Version 6.1.1 is available to the public, and can be downloaded from the new NEM-Review portal, which is in the process of being developed specifically for v6.

Please note this added information (current at 3rd September):

1) Further interim upgrades will be released over the coming months according to this interim upgrade schedule.

2) Based on questions received following previous communications, we prepared this page outlining how all of the new functionality & data sets fit within the 3 Models now available.

3) For existing clients, we also prepared this page providing specific instructions for how you can upgrade from v5 to v6.1.1.

July 2009

NEM-Review v6.1.0 was first made available to selected Beta Testers. We wish to thank all those clients who gave us valuable commentary on the product, thus far.

Here's a "sneak peek" of how NEM-Review v6 has been massively upgraded, compared to v5.

With v5.3 out of the way, we fully shifted our focus towards the implementation what we had been planning for some time with respect to NEM-Review version 6.

This release requires an updated version of the database. This database is backwards compatable with previous versions of NEM-Review.

The NEM-Review database now contains the TNSP zones that a generator belongs in. These are the same zones that appear in ez2viewAustralia.
