Find `<cpacsVersion>` element at `header/versionInfos/versionInfo/cpacsVersion`
CPACS 3.5 has a new header node: see docs
To allow TiGL to open CPACS 3.5 files the <cpacsVersion>
element is still available in the old location, although optional and marked as deprecated
. Also the examples show this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cpacs xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../schema/cpacs_schema.xsd">
<header>
<name>Canard example</name>
<version>0.4.0</version>
<!-- Deprecated: The <cpacsVersion> is needed to open the file in TiGL. TiGL will soon be adapted to get this information from the versinInfo node. -->
<cpacsVersion>3.5</cpacsVersion>

</versionInfo>
</versionInfos>
</header>
Apparently, however, I have not explained reading the documentation or the existence of the examples well enough. Therefore, there is a growing opinion that TiGL does not support CPACS v3.5. I have just learned of a project that therefore decided to use v3.2.
Therefore, we should implement and release a patch that prevents TiGL from searching for the element not only at the old position but also at the new position in the header.
