Dear
participants in the DIVA for Rhino Google group,
We would like to announce the official release of DIVA-2.0. We have
made significant improvements in the new release, and we are excited to share
these new features with you. To sustain and expand development
of DIVA we have formed a partnership called Solemma, LLC and have released DIVA-2.0 with 30-day-trial, commercial and educational versions. This means that
new versions of DIVA will cost money for some users. The commercial version is
intended for practitioners and professional use, but DIVA will remain free for
educational users. In addition, there is
a free 30-day-trial version, and DIVA-1.9 and the DIVA-Grasshopper components will remain free for all users.
We think the community on the Google User’s group is important. As part of the release, we are migrating the
DIVA-for-Rhino Google group and the Wiki to our new site www.diva4rhino.com. It should be easier for users to share images and animations
and find answers to their questions. I hope you join us on the new site and
take a free test drive of DIVA-2.0. The thoughts, questions, and
recommendations of our users remain a vital part of future development.
Happy simulations,
Alstan and the Solemma, LLC Team
Postscript: We have a new DIVA installer that is available for download from the www.solemma.net website. This version fixes some bugs and presents a much smoother installation process compared to the DIVA-2.0 version that has been there for the last week. If you installed the earlier version using the old installer, we recommend you to uninstall it and then install the official release version.
