A new graphical user interface for OWA EPANET 2.3, EPANET-UI, is now available for testing.
The source code has been posted to https://github.com/OpenWaterAnalytics/EPANET-UI and executable binaries for both Windows and Linux can be downloaded from here. If you encounter any issues when testing the UI, it's best to raise them on the EPANET-UI site rather than here.
A unique feature of EPANET-UI is that it uses the EPANET Toolkit to store and retrieve project data from the engine itself as users interact with the UI, thus avoiding the need to have one copy of a project's data reside inside the UI and another exported to the engine when an analysis is requested. Also the same code can be compiled to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS with just some minor edits to a configuration file (is anyone willing to volunteer to produce a Mac executable?).
The EPANET-UI repository is forked from the US EPA's EPANET repository and the two will be kept in sync with one another so that the new UI can potentially become an official EPA release.
