v1.0.0

• Core software:
  • Changes:
    • FAST-OAD configuration file is now in YAML format. (#277)
    • Module declaration are now done using Python decorators directly on registered classes. (#259)
    • FAST-OAD now supports custom modules as plugins. (#266)
    • Added "fastoad.loop.wing_position" module for computing wing position from target static margin in MDA. (#268)
    • NaN values in input data are now detected at computation start. (#273)
    • Now api.generate_inputs() returns the path of generated file. (#254)
    • fastoad list_systems is now fastoad list_modules and shows documentation for OpenMDAO options. (#287)
    • Connection of OpenMDAO variables can now be done in configuration file. (#263)
    • More generic code for mass breakdown plots to ease usage for custom weight models. (#250)
    • DataFile class has been added for convenient interaction with FAST-OAD data files. (#293)

    • N2 diagrams caused a 404 error in notebooks since OpenMDAO 3.7. (#289)
• Models:
  • Changes:
    • A notebook has been added that shows how to compute CeRAS-01 aircraft. (#275)
    • Unification of performance module. (#251)
      • Breguet computations are now defined using the mission input file.
      • A computed mission can now be integrated or not to the sizing process.
    • Better management of speed parameters in Atmosphere class. (#281)
    • More robust airfoil profile processing. (#256)
    • Added tuner parameter in computation of compressibility. (#258)

v0.5.4-beta

• Bug fix: An infinite loop could occur if custom modules were declaring the same variable several times with different units or default values.

v0.5.3-beta

• Added compatibility with OpenMDAO 3.4, which is now the minimum required
  version of OpenMDAO. (#231)
• Simplified call to VariableViewer. (#221)
• Bug fix: model for compressibility drag now takes into account sweep angle
  and thickness ratio. (#237)
• Bug fix: at installation, minimum version of Scipy is forced to 1.2. (#219)
• Bug fix: SpeedChangeSegment class now accepts Mach number as possible target. (#234)
• Bug fix: variable "data:weight:aircraft_empty:mass has now "kg" as unit. (#236)

v0.5.2-beta

• Added compatibility with OpenMDAO 3.3.
• Added computation time in log info.
• Fixed bug in XFOIL input file. #204
• Fixed bug in copy_resource_folder(). #205

v0.5.1-beta

• Now avoids apparition of numerous deprecation warnings from OpenMDAO.

v0.5.0-beta

• Added compatibility with OpenMDAO 3.2.
• Added the mission performance module (currently computes a fixed standard mission).
• Propulsion models are now declared in a specific way so that another module can do a direct call to the needed propulsion model.

v0.4.2-beta

• Prevents installation of OpenMDAO 3.2 and above for incompatibility reasons.
• In Breguet module, output values for climb and descent distances were 1000 times too large (computation was correct, though).

v0.5.0-alpha.3

Contains a draft version of the mission performance module with a generic propulsion interface

v0.5.0-alpha.2

Contains a draft version of the mission performance module.
