While we have not released version 4.1.0, we are installing ecFlow with ecFlowUI from time to time at ECMWF on the workstations and on ecgate (see Getting Started with ecFlowUI). On this page we will document the main features and improvements with each installation. Note that this page was only started in December 2016 and so does not contain updates from the previous months.

| Area | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text search | New feature: all found occurrences of the search term can be highlighted. This option is OFF by default as it can be expensive with very large log files. Activate from the search options control, or press ALT-A to toggle. |  |
| Output logs | Improvement: logs served by a log server are now transferred asynchronously, allowing the user interface to respond during that time. Note that there can still be a delay in displaying large log files (say > 30MB) - solutions to this are being evaluated, but some improvement has already been made. | |
| Windows | Improvement: the current configuration of tabs and windows, along with their loaded servers, is now saved whenever the set of loaded servers is modified. | |
| Node search | Fix: fixed issue where constructing a search with both a node name and a node path caused a crash. | |
| Info Panel | Fix: fixed issue where the info panel could not be reduced to a small horizontal size due to the length of the file info panel at the top. |

| List of attributes shown in a tree view. | New feature: By default all the attributes except the variables and generated variables are shown in a newly created tree view. This default list can be changed in Edit -> Preferences -> Tree view. |  |
