Non-named unit conversions are now written in a single set of square brackets, with colons used to separate the sets of exponents and multipliers. So, for example, a named unit conversion of [rpm] gets converted to a non-named [0 0 -1 0 0 0 0 : 0 1 : 0.10472] (i.e., [time^-1 : angle : 0.10472]). Previously, multiple sets of square brackets were used to separate the sections, so the above example would have been written as [0 0 -1 0 0 0 0][0 1][0.10472]. The problem with this is that '][' is not distinguished in the token parser from '] ['. Combined with the fact that the later sections are optional, this makes reading pairs or lists of these objects impossible. The new format is, by comparison, unambiguously delimited in all contexts. This change may break the restart of a case in which unit conversion entries have been written out. It is unlikely to require modification to an initial configuration as named unit conversion entries (such as [rpm] and [MPa] and [l/min]) are unaffected.

About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM is a free, open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package released by the OpenFOAM Foundation. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
