+### 🚀 Features
+
+- *(lines,waves)* Implement improvements from OpenFAST
+- *(io)* Added `!` and `%` as comment characters in input files (to match OpenFAST)

+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+- *(tests)* Improve VIV test peak finding, add VIV test plotting script
+- *(tests)* Adjust VIV test sensitivity for windows
+- *(core)* Do not raise floating point exceptions with CFL sentinel values
+- *(core)* Do not divide by zero when setting up zero-length rods
+- *(core)* Discard floating point exceptions raised by the catenary IC solver
+
+### 💼 Other
+
+- *(deps)* Bump actions/checkout from 6 to 7
+- *(deps)* Bump pypa/cibuildwheel from 3.4.1 to 4.1.0
+- *(deps)* Bump actions/setup-python from 6 to 7
+- *(deps)* Bump pypa/cibuildwheel from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1
+- *(deps)* Bump pypa/cibuildwheel from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1
+
+### 📚 Documentation

+- Add VIV paper to references, clarify line acc output and WEC-Sim errors
+- Update core object docstrings to reflect input files
+
+### 🧪 Testing
+
+- Check that no floating point exceptions are raised
+
+### ⚙️ Miscellaneous Tasks
+
+- Increased the version to 2.7.2

+- The quaternions shall be renormalized to get the rotation matrix
+- Freeze when writeLog is not the first option

+- Rebranding to include centripetal forces on getNetForceAndMass
+- Add a centripetal force to bodies with a excentric COG
+- EulerZYX -> EulerXYZ on moordyn::Euler2Quat()
+- Accelerations of Coupled/fixed bodies/rods when there are several isntances of them
+- Odd treatment was meant for indexes from 1 to 3, not 0 to 2, and the matrix indexes were transposed
+- EulerXYZ intrinsic angles instead of extrinsic
+- Drop the patch to move from extrinsic to intrinsic Euler angles

+- Dynamic current inflile reading fix
+- Some more notes explaining the synchronization model
+- Major clean up to the synchronization model
 - Added dummy AllOutput to old API
 - Old AllOutput back to voids, cleans it up a bit
 - Rename AllOutput -> WriteOutputs (To match MD-F)
