-
-
-Changing DataTree's API for getting attributes:
-* Methods `get<type>Attribute` now have an optional default value as an input parameter. If the attribute does not exist, the default value will be returned. No error will be thrown.
-* New methods `tryGet<type>Attribute` are now exposed, that return a boolean indicating if the attribute exist or not.

-### <a id="changes_lsdyna"></a> LSDYNA
-
-###### <a id="shell_layers_ordering"></a> Fix inconsistent shell layers ordering between LS-Dyna and DPF
-
-LSDYNA results on shells with three integration points through the layer were ordered in an unexpected way, resulting in wrong behavior when changing the shell layer using `change_shell_layers`.
-They now follow the DPF convention `[top, bottom, mid]`.
-If more than three integration points are present in the shell, the regular LSDYNA ordering is kept (from bottom to top).
-
-###### <a id="fix_bug_of_getting_erosion_mesh"></a> Erosion of the mesh is now tracked with an element status field
-
-Erosion in the mesh was previously handled by storing the mesh connectivity at each step.

-
-Skin extraction missed some elements such as point. The fix added through an optional pin the possibility for the user to add those elements in the final mesh.
-
-
-###### <a id="fixed_double_precision_issue_for_datatree_attributes_15__17_digits"></a> Fixed double precision issue for DataTree attributes (15 -> 17 digits)
-
-
-Maximum guaranteed number of decimal digits in a double precision floating point number after comma is 17 (and not 15, apparently).
-That's why [`max_digits10`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/numeric_limits/max_digits10) should be used instead of [`digits10`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/numeric_limits/digits10) for `double` and `vector<double>` serializations.

-
-
-###### <a id="fix_available_grpc_port_search_on_windows"></a> Fix available gRPC port search on Windows
-
-
-Windows does not properly support reusing a socket port right after closing it. Server start now relies on gRPC finding available ports (it does not reuse closed ports directly).

-
-
-- Async gRPC server is now shutdown gracefully preventing random crashes

-
-Initialize the shellLayer obtained for ElementalNodal results when reading Elemental results.
-Fixed issue with the mesh for eShell elements, regarding eShellNumLayers.
-
-###### <a id="fix_rotate_enf_results"></a> Fix rotate ENF results
-
-In the case of an Harmonic, MSUP or modal analysis, three are three sets of ENF: STATIC, DAMPING and INERTIA
-These sets are stored in the following order:
-{Node1: FSX, FSY, FSZ}, {Node2: FSX, FSY, FSZ}, ..., {Node1: FDX, FDY, FDZ}, {Node2: FDX, FDY, FDZ}, ...,{Node1: FIX, FIY, FIZ}, {Node2: FIX, FIY, FIZ}, ...
-
-For these cases, if the analysis was cyclic or if the pin reorderENF was set to true a reordering was done and the number of components was set to 9.
-
-_(The reordered ENF is in the following order:
-{Node1: FSX, FSY, FSZ, FDX, FDY, FDZ, FIX, FIY, FIZ}, {Node2: FSX, FSY, FSZ, FDX, FDY, FDZ, FIX, FIY, FIZ}, ...)_
-
-So if the analysis was Harmonic, MSUP or modal but not cyclic the number of components would be 3 but each node would have 9 values. That would later throw an error.
-
-In order to be able to do the rotation, we reorder the ENFs if they are not already ordered before rotating them. Them we put them back in their initial ordering state.
-
-The number of components is now always set to 1 if we are reading unfiltered data.
