Version 8.0, released June 2023, is a "long-term support" version, and the 8.0 branch has undergone a full validation process. The documentation has been updated.
We recommend users using older versions to switch to version 9.0, and at least update version 8.0 versions to the latest bug-fix release.
As with any version, in case you detect bugs, we appreciate your feedback on the forum and bug-tracker, which will help us to provide you with patch releases for this stable series, as well as improvements for future development versions.
Reminder: current code_saturne development cycles are based on a release approximately every 6 months, including a fully validated, "long-term support" version every 2 years. Version 8.0 will be maintained until the version 10.0 release in 2027, and version 7.0 retired late June 2025 with the release of version 9.0.0. Releases from a same series do not require any changes to user data.
For more details, the reader may refer either to the release notes of the version or to the NEWS.md file.
