Happy to hear from potential collaborators interested in helping update other extensions.

There is also a disaggregated regional version (closer to v3.7) at https://zenodo.org/record/2654460#.X7rtb7M7ZTg

Hi all,

see https://zenodo.org/record/4588235 for a minor update to v3.8

" v3.8.1 is a minor update to v3.8 due to the existing of a few bugs (negative values) in the v3.8 release. As a result, the balancing has been redone in v3.8.1 with a different constraint set on maximum/minimum allowable values. In the process, the objective function was switched from a QP to Cross Entropy objective. In addition, IOT tables now include flow (F, Z) and coefficient matrices (A, S) as well as consumption based accounts (footprints, D_cba) and multipliers (M). IOT tables now also include characterized impacts (in the extension "impacts"). More information can be found in the included README file."

Great to get feedback from early users if you hit any issues. One problem with v3.8 was simply a corrupt sync of a file for 2019 DK.

good luck with it.

Richard and Konstantin
