New pre-release release!

Post by rhtownsend » Wed Apr 10, 2013 1:46 pm

Today I created a new pre-release version of GYRE, 0.9, which contains a number of new features and will eventually transition into the first full release of the code suite (sometime later in April).

Apart from a number of bug fixes, the most important change is how output from gyre_ad and gyre_nad is handled:

*) eigval files are now termed 'summary files' (with filename specified by the 'summary_file' field in the &output namelist)

*) eigfunc files are now termed 'mode files' (with filename prefix specified by the 'mode_prefix' field in the &output namelist)

*) there is now the capability of selecting which items are written to out to files, via setting the 'summary_item_list' or 'mode_item_list' fields in the &output namelist. These are both comma-separated strings of item names as defined in the doc/output-format.pdf file accompanying the source (this file, and other stuff in the doc subdir, will eventually grow into a proper manual).

Note that although the differental work dW_dx and total work W are listed in output-format.pdf, they're not yet implemented in the codes.

To update to the latest version of the code, do the following in each of 'core', 'build' and 'gyre':

hg pull && hg update -r stable

(this will also switch you onto the stable code branch).

cheers,

Rich
