IDAES Integrated Platform 2.0.0 alpha 2 released

Today we’re announcing the 2.0.0a2 release of the IDAES Integrated Platform.

This is the first of two public alpha releases before the full 2.0 release of the IDAES IP coming late November / early December.

Please see the details below on the changes in this release and how the goal of this release (and the next alpha release in August/Sept) is to help people prepare for the 2.0 release.

IDAES-PSE 2.0.0a2 Release Highlights
Deprecations and Moved Files:

In preparation for the upcoming IDAES v2.0 release, the IDAES repository has been significantly reorganized to better group content and reduce the number of top-level directories

In order to facilitate a smooth transition, the existing folder structure will remain in place until the v2.0 release in November with redirection links to the new location of most modules
Importing a module from its old location will be redirected to the new location and a deprecation warning logger with a pointer to the new location

A new API has been implemented for costing of process equipment in IDAES

The old costing methods will continue to be supported with deprecation warnings until the v2.0 release in November after which they will be removed
Users of these tools should begin converting their code to use the …

IDAES IP 1.13.0 Released and Notice For Upcoming 2.0

Two pieces of news:

We have a new 1.13.0 release of the IDAES Integrated Platform
We are planning a major new 2.0 release in November

ADVANCE CHANGE NOTICE: Upcoming IDAES v2.0

First we want to announce that development is now underway for IDAES 2.0 introducing significant improvements and API changes with respect to the current (v1) codebase.  In order to provide advance warning of theses upcoming changes and minimize their impact on functionality during this transition, the following schedule is planned for the next 9 months:

The first stable version of IDAES v2, release 2.0.0, is currently planned for November 2022
The current release series, 1.13, will be the last for the IDAES v1 codebase
Over the intervening months, as part of our quarterly release cycle, we will be releasing preview versions of the v2 codebase.
If applicable, we will also distribute bugfixes that are compatible with the v1 codebase as patch releases to the 1.13 release series (1.13.1, 1.13.2)
During this time, changes to the IDAES API introduced by v2 will be documented as deprecation warnings in the codebase and/or as part of the release notes
Once the 2.0.0 release is out, all deprecation warnings will be removed, and development will switch exclusively to IDAES v2

We encourage our users …

IDAES Stakeholders Meeting 10/7 + 10/14

This is our opportunity to present a comprehensive review of progress and directions for IDAES and to gain your valuable feedback. Sadly we are COVID restricted from having the opportunity to do this in person once again this year (Please know how much myself and the entire IDAES team miss the pleasure of interacting more directly with all of you). As we did last October, we are dividing the event into two days a week apart to make it more readily digestible and to offer you time for contemplation of your reactions and input.

To see the full agenda, please login to the Stakeholders -> Meetings page.

IDAES Integrated Platform 1.11.0 released

Highlights for this release are:

New component: SkeletonUnitModel – a generic unit model object for surrogate and custom unit models
Improving access to time domain: All Flowsheets now have a ‘time’ property which will return the local time domain
Support for additional properties in Generic Property Framework: Ideal solids, Henry’s Law, molar volume, osmotic pressure, diffusivity and viscosity
Improved scaling methods for Mixer and Separator
Updating some imports from Pyomo due to changes in Pyomo 6.1
Prototype support for precipitation reactions using solubility products (still needs refinement)

Deprecation warnings slated to be removed (and become errors) in next release (1.12.0):

Directly setting state_block_class and reaction_block_class when creating property packages will no longer be allowed: users should set _state_block_class and _reaction_block_class instead.
Old style property packages that do not use Phase and Component objects will no longer be supported (i.e. those that create the phase_list and component_set directly).
IDAES will no longer support using strings to defining units of measurement in property packages. Property developers should use Pyomo units (or None) instead.
Users will need to define units for the time domain in dynamic simulations.
