This release has a bundle of bug fixes. Some of these have been long standing issues, others are new items that have arisen due to backward incompatible changes in upstream libraries. Improvements include:
- Improvements in the robustness of the `meson`-based build system that appeared in the last release
- Fixes for upstream library changes in pandas, openpyxl, openmdao, numpy, and others.
- Fixes in `precomp` preprocessor of composite blades
- Fixes for parallel performance
- A more consistent approach to blade planform interpolation based on the pchip-algorithm
- Many "backend" changes in configuration files, docs building, and more.
