Release Notes

1.1.0.827 (Jul. 15, 2026) — latest beta: 1.2.1-beta.827 (Jul. 25, 2026)

Compatibility

Tested with Rhino 8.27 (RhinoCommon/Grasshopper 8.27.26019.16021). It might work with newer Rhino versions but they are untested. It does not work with Rhino 7 due to incompatibility issues introduced by McNeel (see below). If you need to downgrade or upgrade, please check the bottom of this page for specific Rhino download links.

Changelog

1.2.1-beta.827 (July 25, 2026)

Beta channel. Tick Include pre-releases in the Rhino Package Manager to install.

Outdoor+ / urbanMicroclimateFoam

  • Fixed a solver crash (SIGFPE) on mapped patches — the coupled boundary no longer selects the patchToPatch nearest engine.
  • Extruded-region mapped patches now keep isExtrudedRegion through changeDictionary.
  • Stale result-time directories from an earlier run no longer poison the next solve; the cleanup now also covers the blueCFD meshing path.
  • Building material selection no longer reaches the case as a raw dropdown index.
  • Interactive run windows close on the shared countdown instead of waiting for a keypress.
  • Docker and WSL now use the Eddy3D urbanMicroclimateFoam fork with the mapper fix, on a rebuilt multi-architecture image; blueCFD is pinned to the matching solver build.

Engines and robustness

  • Selecting Docker while Docker Desktop is stopped now warns instead of failing later as a missing-file error.
  • WSL interactive commands are escaped so Windows Terminal no longer splits them at semicolons.
  • The ParaView component opens multi-region (Outdoor+) cases.

Updates and templates

  • Update notifications follow your installed channel: beta users are offered newer betas, stable users are never offered a beta.
  • Shipped templates are now gated against stale component parameter layouts, fixing canvases that raised errors such as Input parameter index [5] too high for Component Probe.

1.0.7-beta.827 (July 13, 2026)

Pre-release — install by ticking Include pre-releases in the Rhino Package Manager.

  • Added:

    • Anonymous usage analytics now cover all three modules (Outdoor, Outdoor+, Indoor) — see the analytics disclosure for what is and isn't collected.

  • Improved:

    • Check Geometry preview performance (cached display materials, bulk mesh marshalling).
    • Internal: tests now run in CI on every change; one-click channel-switched release pipeline.

Changes since v1.0.6-beta.827: compare on GitHub

1.0.6-beta.827 (July 12, 2026)

Pre-release — install by ticking Include pre-releases in the Rhino Package Manager.

  • Added:

    • blueCFD install-path check: if blueCFD-Core 2024 is installed in a folder with spaces in the name (e.g. C:\Program Files\...), Eddy3D now warns everywhere the engine is used — the Install Engines component flags it directly in its callout (BlueCFD ⚠ spaces in path), in its status log, and on the Run components. Spaces break the OpenFOAM toolchain, so the UMF solver could never be built; previously this failed silently with "UMF Solver: Not Found". Install to a path like C:\blueCFD-Core\2024 instead.

  • Improved:

    • Check Geometry preview: display materials are cached per status color and mesh buffers are bulk-marshalled — smoother canvas on large models.

Changes since v1.0.5-beta.827: compare on GitHub

1.0.4.827 (July 7, 2026)

  • Fixed:
    • Outdoor / WSL: After a simulation on a machine without the Windows symbolic-link privilege (no admin rights / Developer Mode), the mesh link constant/polyMesh was unreadable from Windows — Explorer showed "The file cannot be accessed by the system" and ParaView reported the case "contains no meshes". Direction cases now provision the mesh as an NTFS directory junction (works without any privilege), and the Open In ParaView component repairs existing broken cases automatically.
    • Headless-safe BlueCFD environment setup and distro-aware WSL engine installation (Install Engines no longer assumes a hardcoded WSL distribution).
    • BlueCFD/UMF build environment on newer Windows 11 builds.
  • Improved:
    • Faster terrain vertex projection (batched into a single interop call).
    • Cached wind-comfort threshold tables to cut per-probe allocations, plus string/allocation optimizations across UTCI/PET, thermal comfort, and WSL command generation.
    • Progress dialogs: tooltips, word wrap, interactive hand cursor, and larger clickable areas for toggles and dropdowns.

1.0.2.827 (July 4, 2026)

First unified stable release of Eddy3D.

The previously separate plugins — wind (Outdoor), microclimate (Outdoor+ / urbanMicroclimateFoam), Indoor, MRT (Radiance/UTCI), and FluidX3D — are merged into a single Eddy3D package, available cross-platform on Windows and macOS (Rhino 8.27).

Install: via the Rhino Package Manager — run PackageManager in Rhino and search for Eddy3D. The standalone UMCF package has been retired.

  • Improved:

    • Show both OpenFOAM 12 and UMF install/reinstall toggles simultaneously in WSL mode.
    • Fetch and display accurate publish dates in the Yak version update prompt dialog.
    • Clean up custom Label UI intercept hacks to restore native GH component messages.

  • Fixed:

    • WSL OpenFOAM 12 repository URL (HTTPS to HTTP downgrade issue).
    • WSL bash grouping bug that falsely reported success on failed OpenFOAM installs.
    • UI logic bug in OpenFOAM 12 installation detection.
    • Generated Docker/shell scripts (e.g. run_docker.sh) shipped with Windows (CRLF) line endings, causing bad interpreter: /bin/bash^M on macOS. Scripts are now written with LF line endings.
    • The Select Template component now loads examples from the correct Eddy3D-Templates repository.
