Highlights
Mesa 3.1.5 is a maintenance release focused on improving documentation and cleaning up our resources. This update includes no breaking changes and is compatible with previous 3.1.x releases.
The documentation improvements include enhanced explanations for batch run parallel processing, a significantly expanded overview section covering spaces, property layers and time advancement methods with practical code examples, and a clearer installation guide detailing what the optional [rec] dependencies provide. We've also improved our examples documentation to better distinguish between core and user-contributed examples, and added a new "Roles" section to the contributing guide that outlines the project's community structure and progression paths.
On the maintenance side, we've cleaned up unused images and compressed existing ones, reducing the repository size by over 2MB and distribution size from 3.2MB to 1.2MB.
We recommend all users update to this release for the improved documentation.
