EFAS v4.3 introduces three minor changes to the system, as well as some general bug fixes. Here is a summary of the main changes:

• The addition of 75 new fixed reporting points (now 3162 in total).
• EFAS historical simulation open in near-real-time as soon as the consolidated run is completed (expected 5 days behind time).
• Seasonal forecast layer visible in EFAS-IS as soon as data is publicly available (expected 10th day of the month).

EFAS 4.2 mainly concerns the addition of new hydrological river discharge stations in relevant layers, wtih additional improvements and general bug fixes.

Here is a a summary of the main changes:

• 436 new fixed reporting points (now 3087 in total)
• 14 new points with post-processed medium-range forecasts (now 1200 in total)
• Improved reporting points pop-up window:
  • Three values of probabilities now shown (2yr/5yr/20yr) together with persistence values (2yr/5yr/20yr)
  • 2-year RP persistency tables now available
• Upgrade legends in EFAS-IS of some static fields layers
• Updated legend of ERIC reporting point layer
• Updated medium-range forecast skill layer

EFAS v4.1 is a change in the EFAS Flash Flood (ERIC) layer and general bug fixes. Here is a summary:

• New criteria for plotting ERIC reporting points. They are now:
  
  • Catchments of less than 2000km2 (same threshold as before)
  • 30% of the ensemble forecast a flood magnitude threshold greater or equal to the 5yr return period threshold (it was 10% only for EFAS v4.0)
• Bugfix to the method to calculate the lead time in the ERIC reporting points
  
• Generate a spatial index file (.qix) with the ERIC reporting points to speed up the visualisation of the layer on EFAS-IS

• EFAS v4.1 is a change in the EFAS Flash Flood (ERIC) layer and general bug fixes. EFAS v4.1 ERIC flash flood forecast skill

EFAS version 3.6 contains some changes to the web interface. Here is a summary:

• EFAS ERICHA status button to show the status of the ERICHA products detached from the status API 
• Added a version number to the layer legend that is related to the date.
• Added an automatic Kosovo disclaimer that will be attached at the bottom of the notification email in case it falls within the Kosovo Region
• Revised the feedback workflow, now for the same formal notification multiple feedbacks can be submitted but at the same time it is allowed to receive only one feedback per partner, so if two users of the same partner submit a feedback for the same notification only one will be allowed the second one will receive a message that another users from the same partner have already submitted a feedback. 

EFAS version 3.4.0 incorporated a number of new features and updates of existing layers. Here is a summary: 

• New product: Sub-seasonal hydrological outlook. For more detail please see here: Sub-seasonal outlook
• New layer: National Flood Links; layer showing links to the national web-pages
• Updgrade if the climatology for Seasonal outlooks
• Upgraded ERICHA methodology (see ERICHA for more detail)
• Upgrade in the visualisation of the ERIC layer to make its interpretation easier by enlarging only one triangle per administration region
  
• Upgraded EFAS-SOS service (see EFAS SOS - Sensor Observation Service for more detail)
• Revised website with more accessible training material
• Update EFAS product generation: dynamic points too close to static points (5 pixels buffer) are now removed from the list of reporting points

New static layer added: Administrative regions.

Merged using NUTS-2 or NUTS-3 classification from EUROSTAT 2016 and the region classification from GADM.
