File Release Notes and Changelog
Release Name: 0.8.1
Notes: This is a minor bugfix release to resolve a problem with compilation of the example problem on Windows. There are also some added test cases in the Python test suite to ensure that values of the viscosity correlation match expected values.
Changes: CHANGELOG 0.8 Friday, 21 September -------------------- General: - Fixed errors in the conductivity correlation. - Some methods in steamcalculator.h have had their parameters changed. - Fixed incorrect interpolation of densities in the saturation region. - Added ASCEND model to calculate moist air properties. - Added support for a 'freesteam-config' program. - Added 'mW/mK' to measurement.cpp for conductivity values. 0.7.2 Sunday, 19 August 2007 ---------------------- General: - libfreesteam is now a shared library/DLL. For Windows users: - ASCEND hook DLL renamed to freesteam_ascend.dll for use with current ASCEND (0.9.5.113 and newer) - Static library has been changed to a shared library (DLL) on Windows to reduce duplication of code between Python module and core DLL. - Changed name of Python module to _freesteam.pyd in line with the new requirements of Python 2.5. For Linux users: - Various improvements to RPM packaging. - Improved detection of ASCEND at compile-time. 0.7.1 Monday, 12 March 2007 --------------------- An update for users of the Windows installer, primarily: - Added missing header files in the Windows installer (woops) - Added example C++ code plus Makefile/SConstruct for Windows users. Also added a significant number of new function bindings for the ASCEND interface. 0.7 Thursday, 18 January, 2007 -------------------------- Added a Windows binary installer that static library (.a) for use with MinGW GCC compiler, Python bindings ("from freesteam import *"), and external functions for use with the ASCEND modelling environment. 0.6.2 Wednesday, 17 January, 2007 --------------------------- Correcting the conversion factor for psi, so: Measurement(1,"bar").to("psi") Some enhancements to the ASCEND modelling environment bindings. 0.6.1 Friday, 7 July 2006 ------------------- Removing some binary files that crept into the last release. 0.6 Friday, 7 July 2006 ------------------- Switched to the 'SCons' build tool. Autotools no longer supported. Fixed a memory leak during two-phase calculations Added Python bindings to allow steam calculations from Python. Added experimental bindings to the ASCEND modelling environment. Added 'Measurement' class to allow interfacing 'Units' class with Python. 0.5.5 Tuesday, 13 December 2005 ------------------------- Fixed to compile under GCC 4.01 Fixed a very minor error in the IAPWS-95 correlation Tightened tolerance on phir,phi0 (etc) test in IAPWS-95 correlation tests. 0.5.4 Thursday, 2 June 2005 --------------------- Minor fixes to Solver2 debug output Minor fixes to EMSO hook library Added diagram type p-u Added new EMSO CalcObject for pipe friction EMSO test models: pipe with pressure drop 0.5.3 Tuesday, 22 March 2005 ---------------------- Added command line arguments to diagram.cli.cpp. EMSO hook library can now report available methods if invalid method attemped. EMSO test models: added pump curve, rankine cycle. 0.5.2 Saturday, 12 March 2005 ----------------------- Added two-way T,h solver Property plots with log axes where required Minor bug fixes 0.5.1 Tuesday, 8 March 2005 --------------------- Fixed typos in EMSO integration file 0.5 Monday, 7 March 2005 -------------------- Expanded two-way solver to u,v, p,h, p,T, p,u, p,s, T,s. Changed to a tree directory structure Can now build on MinGW Integration with 'EMSO' simulation software mostly complete Preliminary integration with 'EES' solver software started Fixed a memory leak occuring with re-thrown exceptions 0.4 Wednesday, 23 February 2005 --------------------------- Expanded two-way solver to u,v (all regions), p,h, p,u Added a 'first guess' option which can be used as a framework for integrating backwards correlations safely Added a little CLI app (diagram.cli) to plot boundary curves on arbitrary axes via MATLAB Made tolerance on SatCurve solver finer to correct Solver2 problems 0.3.1 Friday, 11 February 2005 ------------------------ Ported to GCC 3.4: just minor changes 0.3 Thursday, 10 February 2005 -------------------------- Added two-way solver routine (u,v) and a general framework for making others Fixed bugs in the one-way solver const-ified many methods Added lots more tests Changed the saturation curve correlation for T > T_REG1_REG3 0.2 -------------------------- Added support for solver routines to specify state in terms of (p,u), (p,s), (p,v), (T,u), (T,s), (T,v) Added more tests Added IAPWS-95 routines and comparison test for IF-97 vs 95. 0.1 -------------------------- First public release
