[Announce] OpenVSP 2.0.3

[Rob McDonald]

All,

Two in one day!!!

I've uploaded OpenVSP 2.0.3 binaries for Windows and MacOS to the web
site -- the updated source is on GitHub as well.

This includes a fix which will make CompGeom and related geometric
operations more robust. When considered with the fixes that went into
2.0.2, all users are encouraged to update.

CompGeom was generally quite robust - but when it would crash, it was
usually on very small sliver triangles. The crash wasn't in VSP code,
it was in the Delaunay triangulation algorithm we use. This fix
scales and shifts the triangle so it has consistent numerical scale -
the triangulation algorithm is consequently happier.

Best,

Rob

Just repeating here that the VSP executable in the 2.0.3 zip file
appears to be the old version 2.0.2.
(More details in the 2.0.2 thread)

I did a text search on the MAC executable and found the 2.0.3 string
so I think maybe the windows zip file has the old executable.

Jim,

I got the same report from Mark -- I made a mistake when packaging it
up. I won't be able to fix it until I'm in the office - should be
around 8:30 Pacific.

Expect a 2.0.3a.zip file with the fix.

I just checked the Mac version -- it looks good.

This should provide additional motivation to set up CMake to do some
packaging for me.

All,

My mess-up should be fixed.

The Windows download is now 2.0.3a -- the a just marks it so you are
sure you got the new file.

Sorry about the mixup,

Rob
