Changelog

Assembly version 92.0.0.0

Notes

• For this release and all subsequent releases, OpenTD assemblies will no longer include the version in their filenames. The filenames will not change with each version.
• Assembly versions will no longer correspond to TD versions (24.2.0.0, etc.).
• The first assembly version chosen for this new scheme is 92.0.0.0.

New features

• Comparer now supports different comparison algorithms for different types of data.
• All methods that used to accept Dataset now accept IDataset for greater flexibility.
• DatasetFactory.Load can now be used to load sav, CSR, or savx with path, without knowing type of file.
• MCH_USED added to StandardDataSubtypes.
• Now handles domain names from XREF dwgs.
• Added TIMEN2 support to logic objects.

Performance improvements

• CaptureGraphicsArea is more reliable.
• Fixed various Orbit parameters to correctly use flux or temperature conversions.
• Fixed rename behavior for all properties, including stacks. Entities that use the property now reflect the rename.
• User preferences now set correctly from OpenTD.
• CreateHeatLoad now works with tets.
• Fixed bug where results in UDFA’s associated with fluid objects returned NaN’s.
• Fixed bug where UDFA results were incorrect.
• One-way conductors now show positive heat flow if flow is in the direction of “from” node to “to” node (was reversed).
• Now reading BotInsulationNodeSubmodelIdOption correctly for surfaces.

Version 2024 R2

New features

• Added case set group name parameter to TDSF_CoSolver constructors.
• Added Message member to CompareSuite; just returns Log member.
• Twin lump ids are now automatically sequenced if lump.TwinId == 0.
• Added auto start of OpenTD servers on _SAVEAS for all versions of OpenTD.

Version 2024 R1

Note

This was an administrative release. There is only one new feature: added Comparer.ToString() method.

Version 2023 R2

Major new features

• Added support for controlling item visibility via the ThermalDesktop.VisibilityManager.
• Added ReadMeshDataFile method to read various mesh data formats into TD.
• Added support for stack aliases.
• Added DynamicSindaStatus class for interacting with messages generated by Dynamic Sinda.
• Added limited support for new beta SaveX file format.

Other new features

• Added MeshDisplayer.BaseTrans property -- now you can move FEM's.
• Added experimental CaseSetManager.IsCaseRunning() method for asynchronous cases.
• Added Contactor.Comment property.
• Use lightweight SubmodelNameData's to identify submodels for FloCAD objects.
• Added GetNumberOfDbObjects(...) method.
• Implemented ConvertFDtoFE method.
• Matrix3d.SetOrigin now returns the new matrix instead of void.
• Dataset.Factory.Load method to load sav, savx, or CSR.
• Comparer ctor overload to accept IDatasets instead of Datasets.
• Added Close and ReOpen methods to IDataset.
• Added CloseDatasets and ReOpenDatasets methods to Comparer.
• Added ability to rename and delete aliases.
• Added CaseSetManagerOptions.ShowTextScreenDuringRun member.
• Added Conductor.UseGlobalAccelm member.
• Added RcEntityData.GlobalContactArray member.
• Added RcSolidElement.AnalysisGroupsVolumetric member.
• Added RcFdSolidData.AnalysisGroupsVolumetric member.
• Added FkLocator.Anchor member.
• Added Pipe.LengthDivisions and RadialDivisions members.
• Added Tie.LengthDivisions, RadialDivisions, and UseGlobalAccelm members.

Performance improvements

• CreateCone returns correct node names.
• Polygon.Update() no longer duplicates vertices.
• CoSolver.Continue() returns -1 if SF disconnected, instead of an exception.
• New scr filename and pipe name conventions to avoid Windows Defender mistaking scr files for viruses.
• Avoid issues with duplicate handles in Assembly.
• Fix parsing mixed-case subtypes like "DeltaP."
• Fix GetMeshFD(s) so it populates returned object(s) correctly.
• GetPipe no longer returns pipes with blank signatures.
• Pipe ties now handle domains correctly.
• CaseSet.Run and CaseSetManager.Run now handle casesets with drive symbols from Excel.
