Nov 1, 2024November 2024 for su2code/SU2: A focused release delivering a major output/config refresh and stability improvements that unlocks reliable production deployments and faster onboarding. Delivered the Enhanced Output System with consolidations to COutput.cpp, COutput.hpp, and CParallelDataSorter.hpp, enabling more robust, parallel-ready SU2_CFD output. Fixed critical quality issues including code scanning alerts for type comparisons, corrected output handling in COutput.cpp, and resolved regression and surface CSV writing stability. Updated defaults and configuration behavior to reflect intended UX: default flag set to false; Common/src/CConfig.cpp updated to align with new defaults; config_template.cfg refreshed. Introduced COMPACT keyword for compact output/config and exposed SENSITIVITY as a required restart field, improving configurability and reducing misconfigurations. Improved code readability and maintainability with variable renaming, dry-run messaging enhancements, and targeted cleanup, and ensured regression test stability with pywrapper tests configured for compact=no.
