Dear all,

We are happy to announce the release of OpenCOR 0.8 and its Docker container.

You can see what is new here. As you can see, this is mainly a maintenance update. Most notably, we have updated our Python bindings which now rely on Python 3.12.2 (kudos to David Brooks!). The Windows version of OpenCOR also comes signed now. The plan was also to sign the macOS version, but the way our Python support works made it impossible.

This release is the final version of OpenCOR as we know it, i.e. a Qt-based application with Python support tightly linked to OpenCOR. So, going forward:

OpenCOR's backend is to be moved to libOpenCOR, which is a pure C++ library with both JavaScript and Python bindings. For Python, this means that you will be able to install libOpenCOR using pip install libopencor (once it will be available on PyPi).
OpenCOR's frontend is to be rewritten using Web-based technologies. This will allow us to use OpenCOR both as a standalone application (on Windows, Linux, and macOS) and on the Web.
