I am entirely disappointed with the so called improvements to equest.  Why suddenly when I have a space with an unreferenced zone and I recreate the reference to about 30 zones, then close and reopen, all work to unreferenced spaces is gone.  Also, trying to implement floor plan revisions have always been the worst.  This is uncalled for.  In the 8 years or so that I have been using this program, it has improved very little overall and perhaps taken a step backwards in some regards.  I have been telling myself to make this project the last one in equest for years now, even doing openstudio side-by-side with equest for the building form for many.  It might be safe to say that equest is no longer the most productive.  It does not bring me pleasure to write this, as I will have to do the painstaking process of becoming more familiar with openstudio and wasting a few hundred more hours.  However, it seems that may be more worthwhile than dealing with the glitches and everyday slowisms of equest.

I was visiting doe2.com this morning (as you do from time to time -- you know) and found that there was a relatively recent release of a new v 3.65 build.  From the "what's new" document:

eQUEST v3.65
build 7163 - public release ~ 18 March 2014 - w/ DOE-2.2 v48r
Fixes:
* Fixed issues with the simulation detailed results viewer application (D2SimViewer.exe) that
prevented the viewing of hourly results in some instances (all appeared as zero values) when
the correct results were located on the simulation output file (the .sim file).
* Fixed issues with the installation procedure sometimes failing in cases where the installation is
directed to a drive mounted from a network location.

Since I just sent this to the whole mailing list, you may wish to wait for a few days before downloading the new build.  I don't want to cause an unexpected flood of download requests on the doe2.com site.

If others notice a new eQUEST release, please post a note here.  I tend to miss them.

Cheers,
Brian
