Version 2.0
On January 17, 2011 we released version 2.0.
This release features a complete reorganization of the yt internal codebase, a number of bug fixes, and numerous improvements to the code base and the documentation. This is also the first release since the publication of the yt method paper in ApJS.
The major changes in 2.0 since version 1.7 (Released on June 27, 2010) include:
- Major reorganization of the codebase for speed, ease of modification, and maintainability
- Re-organization of documentation and addition of Orientation Session
- Support for FLASH code
- Preliminary support for MAESTRO, CASTRO, ART, and RAMSES (contributions welcome!)
- Perspective projection for volume rendering
- Exporting to Sunrise
- Preliminary particle rendering in volume rendering visualization
- Drastically improved parallel volume rendering, via kD-tree decomposition
- Simple merger tree calculation for FOF catalogs
- New and greatly expanded documentation, with a "source" button in the API documentation
