v3.4.1
Release Notes
OpenFAST 3.4.1 is a minor release to revert a channel name change in AeroDyn 15. This also contains minor fixes for documentation builds.
Documentation
#1442 `[BugFix] Doxygen builds failing on rtd, and locally. Documentation builds on readthedocs and local were failing due to a change in the backend of sphinx. This fixes local builds, but does not fix readthedocs builds. As a temporary workaround, doxygen is disabled on readthedocs.
AeroDyn15
#1428 AD15: revert to Aero names for output channels (Fld is now an alias). This fixes an issue introduced in v3.4.0 (#957)
Precompiled Binaries
The binary files in this release were built with the Visual Studio solution files distributed with OpenFAST (not using cmake), using
- Intel Fortran compiler 2021 (Update 2,
w_oneAPI_2021.2.0.243) with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 - Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 (C), for build in Matlab
- MATLAB Version: 9.9.0.1857802 (R2020b) Update 7
- FAST.Farm_x64_OMP.exe is built with OpenMP libraries and linked with dynamic libraries.
- You will need this Intel Fortran redistributable package installed to run FAST.Farm_x64_OMP.exe if you do not already have Intel Fortran OneAPI 2021 installed. See the installation instructions here.
- You may also need a redistributable library for Visual Studio installed. See instructions here.
The other OpenFAST executables DO NOT require these redistributable libraries to be installed. Instead, they were built with static libraries.
