+====== Changelog from Major Updates ======
+==== Update: July 14 2025 ====
+<WRAP center round box 90%>
+**Changes:**
+  * **Reaction forces:** Add a "Loads" output to Stress Simulation block which outputs the reaction forces and moments, and the applied forces and moments, to better perform load balance checks on a simulation
+  * **Improve the material input validation,** for example to prevent a thermal material being used as input to a stress simulation
+  * **Allow unit system to be specified for displacement boundary condition,** instead of using the document's unit system
+  * **Create simulations in an asynchronous task,** which is killed when the solution expires, to prevent hundreds of simulations from starting and running
+  * Improve support of Rhino geometry types
+  * Display a timer showing how long simulation has been running
+  * Provide better solver setting defaults by using an iterative solver
+  * and more
+**Bug fixes:**
+  * When using a list of loads, apply the selected unit system to all loads
+  * Fix units in display of temperature field
+  * and more
+</WRAP>
+==== Update: Nov 5 2024 ====
+<WRAP center round box 90%>
+  * Added topology optimization with a new LevelOpt block. [[https://intact-solutions.com/intact_docs/IS4GH_manual.html|See documentation here]]
+  * Improve the error message when no simulation results are available for visualization
+  * Correctly display the direction of vector load glyphs
+  * Fix issue when applying a single displacement boundary condition to multiple boundaries
+</WRAP>
+==== 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
