Release notes for MDSF Version 3.3.0
Version 3.3.0 of the MDSF software was released on 31st August 2005 and is provided as a complete installation of the software. As such, the update is too large for web download.
 Fixed in this version
- MDSF now operates without the need for ESRI�s 3D Analyst though MDSF still requires ArcView 3 and Spatial Analyst. Significant savings expected, both on licences and through increased flexibility
- The internal flood mapping in MDSF has been improved
- MDSF includes an updated version of the Social Flood Vulnerability Index, generated by Flood Hazard Research Centre (FHRC)
- The updated SFVI dataset covers every Output Area polygon in England and Wales (Output areas are the polygons at which 2001 census data was reported)
- The new SFVI is also combined with estimates of population, which previously had to be sourced separately
- The SFVI and population data are supplied on the MDSF Software CD
- Minor bug fixes also addressed
- User guide and procedures updated
