+====== Changelog from Major Updates ======
-==== New Features: October 26 2023 ====
+==== Update: February 5 2024 ====
+<WRAP center round box 90%>
+  * Plugin update for **Rhino 8** (will not work with Rhino 7)
+  * **Auto** and Manual mode to the solvers: a new Boolean input to each solver to control if it solves automatically or requires manual intervention. See [[wiki:sns:intactgh:automation|]] for more information and [[wiki:sns:intactgh:beginner_ex_6|Ex-6: Automation of a variable geometry heat sink]] for example files.
+  * Support for **List** input for easily specifying a large number of loads, or composite plies with different orientations, for example. More information can be seen at [[wiki:sns:intactgh:lists|Using lists for Intact components]].
+  * Allow material as input to sampler block, to allow sampling multi-material assemblies. For up to date information on this component block see [[wiki:sns:intactgh:results#Solution Sampler|Solution Sampler]].
+  * When reading an archived solution, display glyphs to indicate the boundary conditions
+  * Pretty print simulation scenario configuration for archived solutions

+==== Update: October 26 2023 ====
+<WRAP center round box 90%>
   * Support for Orthotropic materials with a vast database of Composites and Wood materials. See [[wiki:sns:intactgh:materials|Supported Materials]] for more instructions and [[wiki:sns:intactgh:beginner_ex_4|Ex-B4: Static Simulation of a Composite Motor Mount]] and [[wiki:sns:intactgh:static_orthotropic_laminateplate|Orthotropic Laminate Plate Stress Analysis]] for example files.
   * New Sliding Boundary Conditions that constrain motion normal to a surface and only allow sliding along the surface. Use it to apply rotational sliding on a cylindrical face. See [[wiki:sns:intactgh:slidingbc|Sliding Boundary Condition]] for instructions and [[wiki:sns:intactgh:ex_8|Ex-8: Cylindrical Sliding Boundary Conditions]] for example files.
