| Version | Published | Release Notes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.0 | breguet format |
||
| 1.9.0 | breguet updates; error handling updates; lots of documentation updates |
||
| 1.7.0 | bisection usage now consistent with full function to help modularity; brequet made more general (no longer metric-specific documentation) |
||
| 1.6.0 | fixed a small bug that would in some cases evaluate EWfunc at a weight above the upper limit. |
||
| 1.5.0 | fixed premature convergence bug; more testing confirmed that bisection is better than classic iteration |
||
| 1.3.0 | changed the math to vastly increase robustness of the method for more reliable convergence; added maxW optional input; fixed bisection bug; added new input to example 3. |
||
| 1.2.0 | added a . to missionfuelburn so it can handle multiple array inputs; fixed typo in documentation; did testing and confirmed that bisection is the most stable array-capable search method; integrated bisection as sub-function |
||
| 1.1.0 | DimensionedVariable example and documentation; more EWfunc options; better BREGUET case handling; improved documentation; added example for arrays in EWfunc |
||
| 1.0.0 |
