v2.1.0-alpha — 2025-09-04 latest

Support for multiple open boundaries when the nested domain polygon intersects features such as islands or other land elements.
Parallel execution support is now integrated with SHYFEM-MPI.
Control the level of corner smoothing applied to the grid. Sharp corners can also be retained by disabling this feature.
Provide customized coastline shapefiles as input for experiments.

Fixed an issue in the pre-processing step where domains defined in negative longitudes (e.g., western hemispheric regions) were not being correctly processed.

Rewrote the SURF code using a modular, object-oriented Python architecture, replacing the previous procedural design.
The structured and unstructured components (SURF-NEMO and SURF-SHYFEM) have been unified under common conventions, workflow and execution frameworks
Created Docker image designed for seamless installation, execution and cloud/HPC deployment
Added automatic download of all the required input data, including CMEMS ocean data (via Copernicus Marine Toolbox), ERA5 atmospheric data (via CDSAPI service) and TPXO8 tidal forcing, GEBCO-2024 bathymetry and GSHHG coastlines.

This is the first release of the surf_shyfem package.
