Stay up-to-date with the latest updates on Whiffle Wind by [subscribing](http://eepurl.com/iQb8wA) to our monthly newsletter.

## 2025-12-16

Added support for selecting **multiple Measurements and Geodata files** in the Simulation Overview setup. *This feature is behind a feature flag. Early access is available via Whiffle Support.*

## 2025-11-18

Introduced **simulation submission via handover**. You can now request a **customised LES run** through Whiffle Support, enabling you to:

* tailor simulations to project-specific constraints or objectives,
* request additional outputs not available in the standard interface,
* run higher-resolution domains for finer spatial detail,
* generate LES for locations without usable ERA5 input.

## 2025-11-12

Added **point WRG** (**Wind Resource Grid point**), which can now be downloaded together with the standard WRG.

## 2025-10-27

Added **download functionality** to Atlas. Users can now access **20-year time-series data** in **CSV and NetCDF** formats directly from the Atlas application.

## 2025-10-23

Editing of **Measurements and Geodata** is now disabled once finalized and locked for traceability.

## 2025-10-07

* Added **auto-save** to the Measurement Detail page. Measurements can now be used for **bias correction**.\
  \&#xNAN;*This feature is behind a feature flag. Early access is available via Whiffle Support.*
* Introduced **Geodata upload** behind a feature flag. Users can now upload **Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Digital Surface Models (DSM), and Canopy Height Models (CHM)** to Whiffle Wind.\
  \&#xNAN;*Contact Whiffle Support for early access.*

## 2025-09-26

It is now possible to **view the height of the simulated LES area** directly in the map legend.

## 2025-09-24

In Whiffle Wind, the **LES area** is automatically determined based on your **met mast** and **wind farm** locations (read more [here](https://docs.whiffle.cloud/release-notes/pages/gI7OQT4p6CdYKEWRO83J#id-2.-calculating-the-les-domain)). We have refined the method for determining this area. Thanks to ongoing improvements in the Whiffle LES model, we can now provide the **same accuracy with a smaller LES domain**, saving both time and cost.

## 2025-09-16

* Pricing model has been updated:
  * Lower prices for LES domain sizes under 83 km × 83 km
  * Slight price increase for simulations above that size
  * Pricing now reflects vertical resolution, especially important for mountainous terrain (read more about vertical resolution [here](https://docs.whiffle.cloud/release-notes/pages/gI7OQT4p6CdYKEWRO83J#id-2.2-vertical-les-domain))
  * [Field ouputs](/outputs/timeseries.md#fields) are now *free* for all Time Series simulations
* Alongside extending the simulation area, we have added a new property to the **Wind API** that allows you to **define your own simulation area**. Whiffle automatically adds a buffer zone to this area. This feature is currently available only via the Wind API.

## 2025-08-29

Introduced **Atlas API endpoints**. You can now easily access **20-year time series** data in **CSV** and **NetCDF** formats via the Atlas API.

## 2025-07-22

The Overview step in Whiffle Wind has been enhanced to provide clearer insights into the expected outputs based on your simulation setup.

## 2025-07-01

The hourly / monthly table on the Performance tab of the detail page now allows switching between Total Production and Capacity Factor, making it easier to compare performance across wind farms.

## 2025-06-24

* **Performance Tab Enhancements**\
  The Performance tab on the simulation detail page now provides an overview of the wind speed and energy production per wind farm. You can select an individual wind farm to view more detailed data, including:
  * An hourly / monthly table
  * Wind speed and energy production per turbine
* **Overview Tab Improvements**\
  The Overview tab now displays more comprehensive information about the simulation configuration:
  * A table listing **met mast** locations
  * A new table showing **wind farms**, including:
    * Turbine locations within each wind farm
    * Selected turbine model
    * Whether **thrust** was enabled or disabled
    * Domain placement (LES or MESO)
  * The heights set for WRG and Fields are now also displayed

## 2025-06-03

* Selected turbines in a simulation setup are now referenced by the turbine model's ID instead of its name. This change helps distinguish between turbine models that share the same name. In a future update, the turbine model ID will also be displayed in the simulation wizard, making it easier for users to differentiate between models with similar names.
* Enhanced error messages for cases where a full page fails to load. The messages are now more readable and include a button to easily notify Whiffle Support and request assistance.

## 2025-04-19

**Turbine Detail Page & Management Improvements**

* A turbine detail page has been added, displaying turbine specifications along with graphs for the Power and Thrust curves, making it easier to reference turbine model specifications.
* An additional tab presents a detailed table with **Reference Wind Speed**, **Power**, and **Thrust Coefficient** values.
* The process for **adding, editing, and deleting turbines** has been streamlined for a smoother and more intuitive experience.

## 2025-04-03

* **Free Simulation Message**\
  Free trial users will now see a message on the Overview step of the setup wizard, informing them that their simulation is a gift from Whiffle and will be run free of charge.
* **First-Time User Onboarding**\
  New users are now guided through a quick onboarding experience, providing helpful tips, tricks, and essential information to help them get started with Whiffle Wind more effectively.

## 2025-03-26

* Simulations can now be **cancelled** using the Cancel button on the simulation detail page.\
  Please note that a fee may apply depending on how long the simulation has been running.\
  For more details, refer to our documentation: [Cancelling a Simulation](/getting-started/cancelling-a-simulation.md).

## 2025-01-30

* Enhanced readability of period info details by removing the duplicate UTC label, ensuring it fits better on the detail page.
* Added a visible cursor on hover in the simulation wizard steps, signaling that steps can be navigated back to.
* Fixed an issue where importing an incorrect turbine specification blocked the upload of a new turbine spec.
* Introduced a direct URL to the registration form, simplifying the registration process from whiffle.nl and other sources.
* Revamped the downloads list for a more compact and readable layout.
* Long-term correction warnings are now only displayed for time series simulations, resolving their incorrect appearance in statistics simulations.

## 2025-01-07

* **New Period Option: Statistics (Beta)**
  * Introduced a new period option called Statistics in the period step of the simulation setup wizard.
  * This feature is currently in Beta, allowing users to test and provide feedback.
  * The Statistics option simulates a sample of days to generate 20-year statistics in the most cost-efficient manner.&#x20;
* **Simulation Video Controls**
  * Added the ability to adjust the speed of simulation videos.
  * You can now increase or decrease playback speed for a customized viewing experience.
