Simbody v3.5.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2015-05-16 // almost 9 years ago-
🏁 Same as 3.5.1 except on 64 bit Windows which now has a patched version of Lapack that
➕ addresses an obscure error handling problem that caused trouble for some OpenSim users. This release is intended to support OpenSim; there is no reason for Simbody users to upgrade from 3.5.1 although it is harmless to do so.👀 The change here is a patch to Lapack 3.4.2 (64 bit) to fix the bug discussed in Issue #177 and PR #342. There were two functions where convergence failures incorrectly caused an abort (XERBLA in Lapack-speak) that bubbled up to trash an IpOpt optimization that should have recovered. See discussion on Lapack forum: http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4586. The patched Lapack DLL is binary compatible with the previous one, same functions and ordinals.
