'''The release candidate of PALM-4U was released October 2018. Visit [[http://www.palm4u.org|palm4u.org]] '''
----

The release candidate includes the following new components:
* Multi Agent System
* RANS mode (TKE-epsilon closure)
* Indoor climate and energy demand module
* Emission module
* Aerosol physics/chemistry (SALSA)
* RANS-LES and RANS-RANS nesting
* Biometeorology output
* Virtual measurement module
* Graphical User Interface (GUI) for users from practice

----
'''The beta version of PALM-4U was released December 2017. '''
----

The beta version includes:
* Energy balance solvers for building and paved surfaces
* Radiative transfer within the urban canopy layer, including shadowing effects and multiple reflections between urban structures
* Wall material model for heat transfer between atmosphere and building
* Chemistry module for the transport and conversion of reactive species
* Model self-nesting that allows to increase either model domain size or to focus on near-surface processes
* Quasi-automatic external forcing by COSMO-DE model data
* A Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) type turbulence parameterization can be used instead of LES to reduce computational costs
