  • This release includes new tools, tool enhancements, new functionality regarding the graphical user interface and the introduction of tool chains. Tool chains enable further automation of work flows by combination of other tools. In contrast to other ways of scripting, tool chains can be used like other tools from SAGA GUI and command line interpreter. The coding is XML based.
