Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (2025-03): Delivered robust input handling improvements and removed legacy input parsing to simplify and future-proof the codebase of ukaea/PROCESS. Standardized input variable names to lowercase and fixed 2D array parsing to ensure data integrity in multi-dimensional inputs. Deprecated and removed the input.f90-based process_input module as part of a broader refactor, reducing technical debt and enabling more reliable downstream computations.
