OpenStudio SDK:
The 3.7.0 is a **major** release. This update includes several new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes.
C++ Workflow code
As of OpenStudio SDK 3.7.0 a re-written workflow written in C++ is used by default in place of the Ruby based Workflow Gem that had been used in the past. This enhancement is in support of Python measures being used in an OpenStudio workflow, including mixed language workflows that include both Ruby Measures and Python Measures. If you need to use the older Workflow Gem implementation, you can do that by using the `classic` subcommand after `openstudio`. `classic` will be deprecated in a future version of OpenStudio.
Known Issues / Limitations
* In some cases you may need to install an extra dependency needed by EnergyPlus on Linux and Mac. See this EnergyPlus issue for details https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/issues/10284
* While we udpated the gbXML schema to v7.03, the forward and reverse translation between gbXML and OSM does not support any new gbXML fields that may have been added.
