Testing Instructions

The second release candidate of the 1.7.0 release has been posted. The 1.7.0 is a major release. It updates the OpenStudio SDK from 3.6.1 to 3.7.0.

Are you willing to test it out to help us make a great product? This will only take a few minutes of your time, yet it is absolutely critical for us to be aware of bugs.

Ready? You're awesome, thank you!

Go and download the executable from the v1.7.0-rc2 release. Please take a look at the release notes as they showcase the new features and bug fixes, so you know what to look for

Then try it out. You'll find a checklist below of things to try out, but please do feel free to go off-script, and if you can even try it out with your real world models that's even better.

When you're done, please report back by posting on this issue, with the following template filled out.

Release notes

These are important items that we will post in release notes:

• OpenStudio Application 1.7.0 uses OS SDK 3.7.0 which introduces support for Python measures. If you are having issues with the new default CLI when computing measure arguments or running simulations, you may need to try using the classic CLI. The classic CLI does not support Python measures.
• The Mac installers are not signed, to install them the user must ctrl-click the file and select open (https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac). The user might also have to remove the quarantine attribute from the installer using xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine (https://hiringengineersbook.com/post/disable-quarantine/).
