VelantisWind 0.1.12 - Experimental QGIS 3.x / QGIS 4.0 testing release

VelantisWind 0.1.12 is an experimental open-source QGIS plugin release for wind-farm pre-assessment workflows.

This version includes:

• Energy/AEP module
• Noise assessment module
• Shadow Flicker module
• Updated metadata for the QGIS plugin manager
• Clearer PyWake installation guidance
• QGIS 3.x compatibility
• Prepared for QGIS 4.0 testing through updated metadata

Important note:

The Energy/AEP module requires PyWake to be installed separately in the same Python environment used by QGIS.

On Windows, open OSGeo4W Shell and run:

python -m pip install py_wake==2.6.18

Then restart QGIS.

Noise and Shadow Flicker modules can be tested independently without PyWake.

This release is experimental and intended for testing, validation, feedback and workflow improvement.
