Version 7.0.6

Released on 27/05/2026

New Features

  • PYTHON: add support for Python 3.14 (closes issue 1147)

Improvements

  • PYTHON: removed warning message when trying the get the sample of the Variables database while it is undefined (closes issue 1150)

  • PYTHON: made Variables.from_frame() and Variables.from_array() methods to also accept columns / time axis with labels of type int (closes issue 1151)

  • PYTHON / GUI: allowed to use either lower or upper case in patterns to filter IODE objects from any workspace.

Fixed Bugs

  • PYTHON : fixed reading IODE equations, identities, lists or tables files if they contain any LEC expression with non-ASCII characters (closes issue 1157)

  • PYTHON : fixed loading file with extension in uppercase (closes issue 1190)

  • GUI: fixed application crashing when trying to edit an IODE table (closes issue 1175)

  • GUI: fixed filtering objects when the pattern represents a unique object (closes issue 1192)

  • GUI: fixed creating and saving an equation when the sample of the Variables workspace is not defined (closes issue 1195)

Miscellaneous

  • PYTHON: hide deprecated functions and objects from from iode import * and dir(iode). Deprecated functionality remains accessible via explicit imports from iode.deprecated (closes issue 1144)

  • C API: The memory management of the IODE objects in the IODE workspaces has been delegated to C++ std containers (in place of the SCR4 library previously). That should not impact the output of estimations or simulations. Closes issue 1012

  • C API: The structure handling the compiled LEC objects (present in IODE equations, identities and tables) has been rewritten. That should not impact the output of estimations or simulations.
