2.6.0

Version 2.6 fixes a bug in v2.5 for surface float moorings.

Download
2.5.0

Added a consideration of the weight of the surface float in a surface mooring, such that with no tension from below, the float remains partially submerged, the submerged buoyancy equal to the in air weight of the float.
