7. Release Notes¶
7.1. Version 4.1.0 (Current)¶
Release date: March 2024
Highlights
Upgrade the earthquake event generation toolbox to support simulation of Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) and liquefaction induced Permanent Ground Deformation (PGD).
Enhancements to the BRAILS-Buildings widget, providing detailed user interaction with the existing BRAILS building inventory generation capabilities. In brief, these enhancements enable:
Importing footprint and building data from i) OpenStreetMaps, ii) Microsoft Global Building Footprints dataset, iii) FEMA USA Structures, and iv) user-specified data sources.
Using National Structures Inventory data or other user-specified data to create a baseline building inventory.
Requesting a subset of BRAILS attributes for inventory generation.
Update the damage and loss engine Pelicun to v3.3.
7.2. Version 4.0.1¶
Release date: Jan. 2024
Highlights
