-  * ENVI-met: Added a time estimation for the simulation finish as well as a progress bar to visualize the simulation progress +  * Added the possibility to force precipitation using Full Forcing 
-  * ENVI-met: Added the ability of writing NetCDF output files directly through the simulation instead of converting them in postprocessing. NetCDF output files are produced for every hour but hold all data within a single file (no different files are created for atmosphere, buildings, surface, vegetation etc.). Building data needed to be splitted into fields holding either X, Y, or Z data. If simulation crashes during file writing when NetCDF outputs are activated, most likely there is a Microsoft Component missing: Please install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/confirmation.aspx?id=13523). +  * Added a time estimation for the simulation finish as well as a progress bar to visualize the simulation progress

-  * ENVI-met: Added a second EXE (envimet4_DEBUG.exe) to send automatically generated error messages to an ENVI-met bug report mail address (forum posts may refer to such a bug report mail) +  * Added enhanced error messages to simplify the process of understanding and fixing issues 
-  * BIOmet: BIOmet is parallelized and thus much faster (but needs the new license type delivered with beginning of version 4.4.3 and an internet connection for server communication)+  * Added an additional EXE (envimet4_DEBUG.exe) to send automatically generated error messages to an ENVI-met bug report mail address (forum posts may refer to such a bug report mail)

   * ForcingManager: Added a correction of wind speed if CSV or EPW/TRY files contain wind speeds of 0.1 m/s or below for a timestep -> the values are then corrected to 0.1 m/s to avoid simulation crashes   * ForcingManager: Added a correction of wind speed if CSV or EPW/TRY files contain wind speeds of 0.1 m/s or below for a timestep -> the values are then corrected to 0.1 m/s to avoid simulation crashes
