## VortexStepMethod [Unreleased]
2+
3+
### Breaking Changes
4+
5+
#### Unified Wing type
6+
- `Wing` and `RamAirWing` merged into a single `Wing` struct
7+
- `RamAirWing` constructor replaced by `ObjWing` (returns a `Wing`
8+
with OBJ-specific fields populated)
9+
- Renamed `ram_geometry.jl``obj_geometry.jl`
10+
11+
#### Unrefined sections replace panel grouping
12+
- `n_groups` replaced by `n_unrefined_sections` in `Wing`,
13+
`WingSettings`, and `SolverSettings`
14+
- `PanelGroupingMethod` enum removed
15+
- Each refined panel maps back to its unrefined section via
16+
`refined_panel_mapping`
17+
- `n_groups` and `grouping_method` in YAML settings files emit a
18+
deprecation warning and are ignored
19+
20+
#### Renamed VSMSolution fields (`_array``_dist`)
21+
- `panel_width_array``width_dist`
22+
- `alpha_array``alpha_dist`
23+
- `cl_array``cl_dist`, `cd_array``cd_dist`,
24+
`cm_array``cm_dist`
25+
- `panel_lift``lift_dist`, `panel_drag``drag_dist`
26+
- `panel_moment``panel_moment_dist`
27+
- `group_moment_dist``moment_unrefined_dist`
28+
- Type parameter `Solver{P,G}` / `VSMSolution{P,G}` changed to
29+
`Solver{P,U}` / `VSMSolution{P,U}` (U = unrefined sections)
30+
31+
#### Mesh refinement separated from reinit
32+
- `reinit!` no longer re-refines the mesh; it only updates panel
33+
properties from existing `refined_sections`
34+
- New `refine!` function handles mesh refinement explicitly
35+
236
### Changed
3-
- Unified `Wing` and `RamAirWing` into single `Wing` type (`RamAirWing` now alias for `ObjWing`)
4-
- Renamed `ram_geometry.jl` to `obj_geometry.jl`
5-
- Wing geometry uses unrefined sections with automatic panel-to-section mapping
6-
- Consistent naming: variables ending in `_dist` are per-panel, `_unrefined_dist` per unrefined section
7-
- `VSMSolution` field names: `panel_width_array``width_dist`, `alpha_array``alpha_dist`, etc.
8-
- Enhanced Makie extension with `plot_combined_analysis` for combined plotting
37+
- Consistent naming convention: `_dist` = per-panel,
38+
`_unrefined_dist` = per-unrefined-section
39+
- `correct_aoa` solver setting added (default `false`)
40+
- `alpha_geometric` is now the angle between apparent wind and chord
41+
- Panel `width` calculation uses sum instead of average
42+
- `src/plotting.jl` removed; all plotting moved to Makie and
43+
ControlPlots extensions
44+
- `TestEnv` no longer required as a global dependency

### Added
11-
- `n_unrefined_sections` field in `Wing` for tracking pre-refinement sections
47+
- `n_unrefined_sections` field in `Wing` for tracking
48+
pre-refinement sections
1249
- `refined_panel_mapping` for automatic panel-to-section association
13-
- Unrefined distribution fields in `VSMSolution`: `cl_unrefined_dist`, `cd_unrefined_dist`, `cm_unrefined_dist`, `alpha_unrefined_dist`, `moment_unrefined_dist`
14-
- `PanelDistribution.NONE` for wings already refined
15-
- Kwarg `sort_sections` for section ordering
16-
- YAML wing deformation tests
17-
- Unrefined distribution tests
50+
- Unrefined distribution fields in `VSMSolution`:
51+
`cl_unrefined_dist`, `cd_unrefined_dist`, `cm_unrefined_dist`,
52+
`alpha_unrefined_dist`, `moment_unrefined_dist`,
53+
`width_unrefined_dist`
54+
- `alpha_geometric_dist` field in `VSMSolution`
55+
- `unrefined_deform!` for applying twist and TE deflection to
56+
unrefined sections; `non_deformed_sections` preserved for
57+
reset/re-deformation
58+
- `refine!` function for explicit mesh refinement
59+
- `plot_combined_analysis` in the Makie extension
60+
- Literature comparison plotting in the Makie extension
61+
- `obj_file` and `dat_file` fields in `WingSettings`
62+
- `sort_sections` kwarg for section ordering control
63+
- Separate `test/Project.toml` and `examples/Project.toml`
64+
- New tests: `test_unrefined_dist.jl`,
65+
`test_refinement_validation.jl`, `test_yaml_wing_deformation.jl`

### Removed
20-
- Panel grouping (replaced with unrefined section mapping)
21-
- `PanelGroupingMethod` enum (deprecated, grouping automatic via mapping)
22-
- `n_groups` and `grouping_method` from settings files and structs
23-
- `n_groups` field from `WingSettings` and `SolverSettings`
68+
- `RamAirWing` type (use `ObjWing` or `Wing` directly)
69+
- `PanelGroupingMethod` enum
70+
- `n_groups` from `WingSettings`, `SolverSettings`, and YAML files
71+
- `src/plotting.jl` (920 lines moved to extensions)
