Full Release Notes


### Added
- **Water now flows around obstacles for real.** A new **Fluid flow** toggle in the Obstacle panel solves a true incompressible flow around your silhouette, so the sheet parts with a bow wave and sheds a wake and eddies behind the form — where before it was per-particle steering nudging water past a flat outline. Tide rides the field by default and Flux's smoke can opt in; **Speed**, **Follow**, **Eddies**, **Smooth**, and a **Detail** (128/256/512) quality control tune it live.
