v1.2.x series (next stable)¶

v1.2.0 (upcoming release)¶

Improved CLI output in narrow terminals (PR563).
Improved mi_render() progress bar description to make more explicit (PR574).
⚠️ 📖 The aerosol data format is upgraded to the new Aer-Core v2 format (PR575).
⚠️ The ParticleLayer now uses a ParticleProperties to store its data. The dataset parameter is renamed particle_properties (PR575).

Improved error messages when initializing a MolecularAtmosphere with an incorrect value for the absorption_data parameter (PR566).
SolarIrradianceSpectrum now accepts various datetime-like objects for its datetime argument (PR572).
Restored variance computation for all stokes components (PR571).
Fix cache_by_id() to avoid updating state when evaluation raises (PR574).
Fix a bug where unstack_mdistant_grid() would not work with 1D arrays (PR574).
Fix incorrect error message in is_positive() validator (PR574).
🖥️ The osx-arm64 environments now use Conda binaries for the netcdf-4 library (PR574).

⚠️ Added EOVolPathIntegrator that implements the DDIS variance reduction technique from Buras and Mayer [2011] (PR565). This feature is experimental.
⚠️ Added the extremum_resolution parameter to AbstractHeterogeneousAtmosphere, which introduces local extremum structures to Eradiate, improving performance for spherical shell atmosphere and future 3D volumes (PR568). This feature is experimental.
⚠️ Added residual ratio tracking transmittance estimator, accessible through the use_rrt parameter in the Atmosphere interface (PR569). This feature is experimental.
Added the ParticleProperties class to provide aerosol data lookup and interpolation (PR575).
Added aerosol data conversion functions in the eradiate.data.convert module (PR575).
