The 10 year Anniversary of the release of EPA SWMM 5

A colleague mentioned that this is the 10th year anniversary of EPA SWMM 5. I thought this important or noteworthy anniversary was worthy of a short blog.

The release dates for SWMM 5 are from

http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-10/epaswmm5_updates_0.txt

which is in the download section of the EPA SWMM site

Engine Updates

1. Modifications made to the Picard method used for dynamic wave

   flow routing routine.

------------------------

Build 5.0.001 (10/29/04)

------------------------

First official release of SWMM 5.

since there were 4 releases during a 4 week period, it might be better to consider the whole month the release date for SWMM 5.0.001 to SWMM

5.0.004

Wikipedia has the whole timeline of SWMM 1/2/3/4/5
