SEA-Stack v1.0.0-beta.3

SEA-Stack v1.0.0-beta.3 is an updated public beta release of the SEA-Stack simulation platform.

Changes since v1.0.0-beta.2

• External force / PTO modules — Added support for out-of-process Python PTO models over loopback IPC using external_pto YAML configuration. Supports TSDA (RM3) and RSDA (OSWEC) links through the PtoModule API.
• Demos and documentation — RM3 and OSWEC external_pto demos, plotting scripts, and EXTERNAL_FORCE_MODULES.md are included in the release ZIP.
• CLI — The case banner now displays the external PTO YAML file
• macOS — Fixed external PTO child-process launching, including python3 and PATH resolution.
• Release process — Added RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md. Report staging now expects PDF outputs generated using Pandoc and LaTeX.

This release provides

• Modular offshore and marine energy simulation capabilities
• Examples, demos, and documentation for getting started
• Packaged Windows and macOS builds with the VSG GUI
• YAML-driven simulation workflows through run_seastack
• External Python PTO examples, requiring Python 3 on PATH
• Updated downstream package and export support

Notes

• This is a beta release intended for early users, testing, and feedback.
• See the README and documentation for installation, usage, and testing guidance.
• This release includes automatically generated verification, regression, and comparison test reports.
• Packages and reports were generated from the current release branch state.

SEA-Stack v1.0.0-beta.2

SEA-Stack v1.0.0-beta.2 is an updated public beta release of the SEA-Stack simulation platform.

Changes since v1.0.0-beta.1

• VSG GUI in release packages - the beta.1 Windows ZIP was built headless-only; beta.2 packages include the Vulkan Scene Graph GUI. Use --nogui for headless runs; visualization requires a Vulkan-capable GPU/driver.
• Relative setup paths - run_seastack.exe case.setup.yaml now works from the case directory.
• Packaging QA - Windows release builds verify compile-time VSG via run_seastack --doctor.
• macOS (arm64) - fix exception unwinding when linking Chrono.
• YAML / demos - restore eta-file n_omega default; fix rm3_mooring demo hydro YAML.

This release provides

• Modular offshore and marine energy simulation capabilities
• Examples, demos, and documentation for getting started
• Windows and macOS packaged builds (with VSG GUI)
• YAML-driven simulation workflows via run_seastack
• Updated downstream package/export support

Notes

• This is a beta release intended for early users, testing, and feedback
• See the README and documentation for installation, usage, and testing guidance
• This release includes automatically generated verification, regression, and comparison test reports
• Packages and reports were generated from the current main release state
