1.0b1
-----

* Release date: not yet released, still under development.
* Preliminary support for using OpenCL transparently.



1.0a5
-----

* Release date:  17th September, 2017
* Mayavi viewer now supports empty particle arrays.
* Fix error in scheme chooser which caused problems with default scheme
  property values.
* Add starcluster support/documentation so PySPH can be easily used on EC2.
* Improve the particle array so it automatically ravel's the passed arrays and
  also accepts constant values without needing an array each time.
* Add a few new examples.
* Added 2D and 3D viewers for Jupyter notebooks.
* Add several new Wendland Quintic kernels.
* Add option to measure coverage of Cython code.
* Add EDAC scheme.
* Move project to github.
* Improve documentation and reference section.
* Fix various bugs.
* Switch to using pytest instead of nosetests.
* Add a convenient geometry creation module in ``pysph.tools.geometry``
* Add support to script the viewer with a Python file, see ``pysph view -h``.
* Add several new NNPS schemes like extended spatial hashing, SFC, oct-trees
  etc.
* Improve Mayavi viewer so one can view the velocity vectors and any other
  vectors.
* Viewer now has a button to edit the visualization properties easily.
* Add simple tests for all available kernels. Add ``SuperGaussian`` kernel.
* Add a basic dockerfile for pysph to help with the CI testing.
* Update build so pysph can be built with a system zoltan installation that is
  part of trilinos using the ``USE_TRILINOS`` environment variable.
* Wrapping the ``Zoltan_Comm_Resize`` function in ``pyzoltan``.


1.0a4
------

* Release date: 14th July, 2016.
* Improve many examples to make it easier to make comparisons.
* Many equation parameters no longer have defaults to prevent accidental
  errors from not specifying important parameters.
* Added support for ``Scheme`` classes that manage the generation of equations
  and solvers.  A user simply needs to create the particles and setup a scheme
  with the appropriate parameters to simulate a problem.
* Add support to easily handle multiple rigid bodies.
* Add support to dump HDF5 files if h5py_ is installed.
* Add support to directly dump VTK files using either Mayavi_ or PyVisfile_,
  see ``pysph dump_vtk``
* Improved the nearest neighbor code, which gives about 30% increase in
  performance in 3D.
* Remove the need for the ``windows_env.bat`` script on Windows.  This is
  automatically setup internally.
* Add test that checks if all examples run.
* Remove unused command line options and add a ``--max-steps`` option to allow
  a user to run a specified number of iterations.
* Added Ghia et al.'s results for lid-driven-cavity flow for easy comparison.
* Added some experimental results for the dam break problem.
* Use argparse instead of optparse as it is deprecated in Python 3.x.
* Add ``pysph.tools.automation`` to facilitate easier automation and
  reproducibility of PySPH simulations.
* Add spatial hash and extended spatial hash NNPS algorithms for comparison.
* Refactor and cleanup the NNPS related code.
* Add several gas-dynamics examples and the ``ADEKEScheme``.
* Work with mpi4py_ version 2.0.0 and older versions.
* Fixed major bug with TVF implementation and add support for 3D simulations
  with the TVF.
* Fix bug with uploaded tarballs that breaks ``pip install pysph`` on Windows.
* Fix the viewer UI to continue playing files when refresh is pushed.
* Fix bugs with the timestep values dumped in the outputs.
* Fix floating point issues with timesteps, where examples would run a final
  extremely tiny timestep in order to exactly hit the final time.

1.0a3
------

* Release date: 18th August, 2015.
* Fix bug with ``output_at_times`` specification for solver.
* Put generated sources and extensions into a platform specific directory in
  ``~/.pysph/sources/<platform-specific-dir>`` to avoid problems with multiple
  Python versions, operating systems etc.
* Use locking while creating extension modules to prevent problems when
  multiple processes generate the same extesion.
* Improve the ``Application`` class so users can subclass it to create
  examples. The users can also add their own command line arguments and add
  pre/post step/stage callbacks by creating appropriate methods.
* Moved examples into the ``pysph.examples``.  This makes the examples
  reusable and easier to run as installation of pysph will also make the
  examples available.  The examples also perform the post-processing to make
  them completely self-contained.
* Add support to write compressed output.
* Add support to set the kernel from the command line.
* Add a new ``pysph`` script that supports ``view``, ``run``, and ``test``
  sub-commands.  The ``pysph_viewer`` is now removed, use ``pysph view``
  instead.
* Add a simple remeshing tool in ``pysph.solver.tools.SimpleRemesher``.
* Cleanup the symmetric eigenvalue computing routines used for solid
  mechanics problems and allow them to be used with OpenMP.
* The viewer can now view the velocity magnitude (``vmag``) even if it
  is not present in the data.
* Port all examples to use new ``Application`` API.
* Do not display unnecessary compiler warnings when there are no errors but
  display verbose details when there is an error.

1.0a2
------

* Release date: 12th June, 2015
* Support for tox_, this makes it trivial to test PySPH on py26, py27 and py34
  (and potentially more if needed).
* Fix bug in code generator where it is unable to import pysph before it is
  installed.
* Support installation via ``pip`` by allowing ``egg_info`` to be run without
  cython or numpy.
* Added `Codeship CI build <https://codeship.com/projects/83729>`_ using tox
  for py27 and py34.
* CI builds for Python 2.7.x and 3.4.x.
* Support for Python-3.4.x.
* Support for Python-2.6.x.

1.0a1
------

* Release date: 3rd June, 2015.

  hosted on `bitbucket <http://bitbucket.org/pysph/pysph>`_.

  onto a desired set of points (or grids).
* Support for inlets and outlets.
* Support for basic `Gmsh <http://geuz.org/gmsh/>`_ input/output.
* Plenty of examples for various SPH formulations.
* Improved documentation.
