New Release Announcement – EOCFI v4.30

Last Update: 5 February 2026

Earth Observation Mission CFI Software v4.30 has been released!

The latest version can be downloaded here with the detailed release notes available here.

User registration is required. Please find detailed instructions here.

The following is a summary of new features and problems solved in this release.


  • Update orbital parameters and SATCAT/NORAD ID for BIOMASS (ANR-1073)
  • Add support for SENTINEL1D, SENTINEL2D, SENTINEL6C, HARMONY-A/B, and ALTIUS (ANR-1082)

Bug fixes

  • Reverted a change that caused a regression in xl_geod_dist (ANR-1047)
  • Memory leak in xp_sat_att_get_file (ANR-1062)
  • Various documentation issues (ANR-1063)
  • xl_quaternions_interpol produces NaN values without warning (ANR-1081)

New Release Announcement – OpenSF v4.7.0

Last Update: 16 December 2025

OpenSF v4.7.0 has been released and can be downloaded here.

User registration is required. Please find detailed instructions here.

Notice: upgrading from version 4.6 is recommended due to a serious bug that invalidates the DB connection when a simulation is aborted, requiring a restart of openSF. The bug is fixed in this release (ANR-463).

Deprecation notice: MacOS 26 is the last version of MacOS to support Intel Macs. OpenSF will be built for Intel Macs as long as reasonably possible, but users are advised that version 4.9 (expected December 2026) is likely the last version with official support for Intel Macs.

New functionalities

  • ANR-422: Update base platform to Eclipse 2025-06
  • ANR-436: Redesign of the Repository and Executions tabs in Repository
  • ANR-437: Simulation export now prompts for a destination folder
  • ANR-438: Simulations in execution can now be stopped gracefully and later resumed
  • ANR-441: Product tools support multiple arguments
  • ANR-443: Example simulator now includes a product tool
  • ANR-449: Redesign of icons in the UI to use vector graphics

Corrections

  • ANR-338: The Navigation panel now updates incrementally when possible
  • ANR-431: Fix edition of preferences creating a spurious entry for E2E_HOME in the configuration
  • ANR-433: Prevent simulation results from being modified by changes in the Control tab
  • ANR-442: Re-running a result from a multi-simulation no longer fails with a broken name
  • ANR-445: Re-running a simulation no longer overwrites the outputs in the original folder
  • ANR-447: Resuming a simulation now works consistently independently of where it is invoked
  • ANR-448: Fix error when running a simulation with statistical perturbations on a module
  • ANR-452: Paused executions can be cleared from table and no longer reappear as failed if the simulation tab is reopened
  • ANR-454: Fix “find” functionality in the Repository and Execution tabs
  • ANR-457: Solve toolbar glitches when moving between tabs in the Navigation panel
  • ANR-463: Fix file-based database connection invalidation when a simulation is aborted
  • ANR-464: Fix unusable database export “without results” if any simulation included user-defined product tools
  • ANR-465: Automatically reload configuration files for a module that switches versions

Known bugs and issues

In macOS, table columns stop auto-resizing when their size is manually changed. This is due to a bug in the underlying Eclipse RCP, with an open report.
