Beta release version: 0.3.0
I am happy to announce the release of version 0.3.0 of the Geodynamic World Builder. Besides a lot of cleaning an refactoring of the code, extending testing and documentation, the major features of this release are the new python interface and an experimental grains plugin system. The grain plugin system can return grain sizes and rotation matrices. The grains plugin system doesn't have a lot a plugins currently and is mainly meant for developers who want to implement and test out the new interface.
The world builder also does not require a Fortran compiler to be present or need an OpenMP library, making installation easier.
