v2026.2.0

• Updated website.
• Strain tests.
• DIC Theory/User Guide.
• HRDIC Example.
• C++ interpolator refactor.
• Polygon fix for interactive ROI selection.

v2026.1.3

• Strain bugfixes.
• Updated main contrib list

v2026.1.1

DIC Improvements:

• Quadratic Shape functions.
• Removed 'Eigen' From Repo.
• Strain moved to separate module. Rename of functions to match between dic and strain modules e.g dic.calculate_2d() and strain.calculate_2d().
• Now using scikit-build-core for building.
• Improved, more informative homemade progress bar.
• General QOL improvements to interactive ROI tool: Seed box now has colour fill.
• Reduced lag when using poly with large number of vertices across large images.
• Updated DIC tests.
• Bugfixes.

Release v2026.1.0

• Small fixes to allow macOS wheels to be built. Now using macos-14, macos-latest and macos-15-intel default github runners.
• Wheels are checked on pull requests from dev -> main.

Release v2025.12.0

What's Changed

• SensorSim Refactor by @ScepticalRabbit in #208
• Breaking changes to the sensor simulation module to streamline sensor array creation with only one obvious way to build things
• Significant improvements to the experiment simulator allowing parallelisation of simulated experiments and IO for saving/loading experiments
• Massive overhaul of the sensor simulation examples in the docs with a minimal set of basic examples and then a much more detailed extended example set. Grouped parts of examples based on workflow steps to make it more intuitive for the user.
• Support for mesh-free sensors
• Support for generic simulation IO to generate SimData objects from txt files or numpy arrays
• Quality of life improvements to the docs splitting out the user guide for different modules with overarching guide to pyvale
• Various bug fixes for the sensor simulation module.

Full Changelog: v2025.8.1...v2025.12.0

v2025.8.1

• Integration of Mooseherder.
• Pyvale point sensor functionality moved into module sensorsim.
• Install Guide for macOS.
• General QOL improvements to docs and examples.

v2025.7.2

Quality of life and bug fixes:

• allow user to control the number of threads
• ROI tool add pixel coords to the bottom corner of the GUI
• option to output shape function parameters
• nan non-converged DIC values
• issue with initial checks if loading a single deformed image in as .npy
• "dicchecks.py" overly narrow in its acceptance of an integer data type
• allow for save/load of yaml ROI file from code
• Loading yaml seed point seems to flip y axis
• throw an error when the RG seed is outside the ROI
• Output from 'dic_2d' not output into Jupyter Notebook cell output
• removed user input for possible overwrite of results data. Warning provided instead.
• For case where user passes numpy arrays as image input. Assign dummy deformation filenames.
• Added fix for entire ROI usage.
