Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for flexcompute/Flow360. Focused on stabilizing and securing the PyPI publish workflow by correcting the version import source. The CI workflow now imports the version from flow360.version instead of the top-level flow360, resolving a publish failure and ensuring consistent, reproducible releases. The changes reduced release friction and improved reliability of automated packaging across environments and pipelines.
