Releases

Choupo-dev is the continuously-updated latest — no pre-announced target version, OpenFOAM-dev style — and it is what choupo.org/app runs by default. Roughly every six months a snapshot of it becomes the next dated stable release (public name Choupo-YYMM, immutable git tag vYYMM). Each stable release keeps a frozen, never-touched copy of the app at /vYYMM/app/: the URL you cite, teach from, and archive.

Choupo-2607 — current stable release

Released 14 July 2026 · consolidated 20 July 2026 · tag v2607

Four solver binaries (steady, batch, dynamic + control, properties), 49 unit-operation models, a curated thermodynamic catalogue (247 components, 205 Henry pairs, Pitzer and electrolyte-NRTL sets), 288 runnable tutorials, and the three-level conservation discipline — mass, per-element atoms and energy — with the element balance emitted by default on every converged steady run. Runs natively (C++17, zero dependencies) and in the browser via WebAssembly.

Development line — Choupo-dev

The continuously-updated latest · no pinned target version · branch main

The app at choupo.org/app runs this line by default — a browser app has no install, so visitors get the newest Choupo, clearly badged Choupo-dev · <commit> in the top bar. No stability promises: cases, results and interfaces may shift between commits; cite and teach from the frozen stable release above.
