+ Release Version 1.0
+ May 6, 2022
+
+
+
+
+ So this is a big one:
+On April 6. we released Version 1.0!
+As you might guess, this is very exciting for us, but what does this mean?
+

+
First of all, you can find all changes in our documentation release notes.
+As one might expect with a first full release, the list is long!

Version 1.0 means we can partly fulfil a vital topic of our mission, namely the replicating …
+current simulation procedures… part. The core computation module com1DFA for dense flow computations is in a state
+that allows it to be used in operational settings. In this regard, we published a report detailing differences between
+the currently operationally used com1DFAOrig (i.e. SamosAT) results and our rewritten com1DFA results. See
+reports for a link to the report (or head over to
+the assets of the version 1.0 release on Github). In this
+document, we detail the steps taken to ensure the similarity of the results, highlight the differences we found, the
+investigations into numerical issues and our recommendations for operational application.

+
After testing this release by the WLV’s operational team, AvaFrame is now included in the operational
+guidelines for avalanche simulations, see the
+Praxisleitfaden
+(unfortunately only available in German). Integrating AvaFrame into current procedures is recommended, but running
+current models in parallel to catch any possible issues not yet discovered.
+
+
+Of course, many features and modules are still missing since we are only halfway through the first project
+phase. But we are confident Version 1.0 already provides a benefit for avalanche simulations! And we are working on
+quite a few interesting new features, so watch out for the next releases.
