We just released the newest version of the Triton Ocean SDK, introducing full support for Visual C++ 2026 and the vc145 toolset on Windows! This new version will give you pre-built binaries for vc145, as well as Visual Studio 2026 project files for those with source code licenses.

Visual C++ 2026 is backward-compatible with Visual C++ 2022 libraries, so strictly speaking, you don’t have to upgrade Triton to start using 2026. But it’s always a good idea to link within the same toolset if you can.

This version is also built against the newest CUDA Toolkit from NVidia, version 13.1. If you are building Triton from source and targeting CUDA, be sure to install this new version – and if you are also moving to Visual Studio 2026, you’ll need to manually install the build customizations for CUDA until NVidia supports Visual Studio 2026 in their installer for the CUDA Toolkit.

This new dependency on CUDA 13.1 means you may need to update your NVidia graphics drivers on your client systems.

If you encounter any trouble with this new release, please let us know!
