0.1.82

• Fixed bug on QGIS 3.44 where the internal QGIS Python executable path on MacOS could not be located
• Results csv and eso file are deleted before re-simulation to avoid accidentally reloading old results

0.1.81

Fixed bug where embedded quotes in fstring were not working on MacOS which prevented the plugin from initialising

0.1.8

Fixed bug on newer versions of QGIS where initialisation of plugin would fail due to an internal import error

0.1.7

• Full hourly results are now saved in the cwd in csv format
• Field 'shading' is now bool type, but old str type still supported
• Field 'wwr' is now int type, but old float type still supported
• Improved error catching and reporting, especially for EnergyPlus errors
• Some errors now raised as message boxes for clarity
• Other minor bug fixes

0.1.6

Version compatibility changes:

• Decorator included since some versions of QGIS do not have this.
• Included newer versions of eppy to support Python 3.10+.
• User is warned if Pandas cannot be imported - this seems to be an issue on certain versions of QGIS and an issue already exists on the official QGIS GitHub for this.

Other changes:

• When EnergyPlus fails, the exact path to the err file is reported.
• Applies strip and lowercase to inputs to avoid potential problems along the line.

0.1.5

• Now produces total results fields (for electricity consumption, heating load and cooling load) in addition to the existing per-floor results fields

0.1.4

• Split constructions into each element. Now "wall_const", "roof_const", "floor_const" and "glazing_const" are specified separately giving more flexibility. Layers which use older versions of the plugin will need to be updated (but old databases can remain the same).
• Added more default constructions and materials
• Changed "Commercial" use into "Office" and "Shop"
• Checks for weather file at start of process so that failure can occur before pre-processing
• Checks for duplicate UIDs
• Changed default shading buffer radius to 20m

0.1.3

• Fixed bugs with processing geometry using new Shapely syntax
• Added minimum and maximum temperature as outputs
• Added logging to aid debugging and crash reporting
• Added user settable minimum temperature for ventilation value to config.json file

0.1.2

The Simstock QGIS plugin does not need to be reloaded after each use anymore; the user no longer needs to use the Plugin Reloader.

0.1.1

• Better and clearer error messages for the user
• Source CRS from selected layer instead of sourcing from config.json file
• Report which polygons caused problems in the case of intersections
• Suppress EnergyPlus html and csv reports which are not necessary and can take up a lot of disk space
• Fixed bugs
