    FlowState 1.5.2: the 1.5 release with the maintenance fixes from 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.

    FlowState 1.5 follows 1.0.0 directly (there was no 1.1). Highlights:

    • SuperPro Designer v15 parity: the new v15 unit procedures, operation options, resources and costing, and an .spf importer for v10–v15 files (all 194 SuperPro v15 examples import).
    • Plain-language names for every unit procedure and operation; search still finds the old names.
    • A COMSOL-inspired interface: Model tree, Settings pane with the model equations, contextual toolbar ("ribbon-lite"), bottom dock, line-art PFD drawing style and an illustrated icon family.
    • AI and automation: an MCP server for AI agents, reviewable changesets for every AI or API edit, and an in-app assistant with the provider of your choice (offline by default).
    • Analysis: study engine v2, TEA presets (NREL DCFROR, MACRS, IRR / minimum selling price), a scenario workspace, quick GWP and LCA additions, parameter estimation with D-optimal design, stiff dynamics with rigorous batch distillation, site fit and recipe scaling, and an ISA-88 recipe text view.

    Existing .flow files open unchanged and give the same results; new data is left out of files while unused. Test, benchmark and import results are in docs/release/1.5-validation.md.

    Fixes since 1.5.0

    • File dialogs no longer freeze the window, and there is a fallback when the system file dialog does not respond.
    • Symbols display correctly on Linux and macOS.
    • Slow exports run in the background, and typing in large models is smoother.
    • Scenario waterfall, comparison table and section frames have been improved.
