Parcels v2.1.5 builds upon previous versions of Parcels and both improved the reliability as well as the efficiency and versatility of Parcels. In particular

  1. Speed up by perhaps a factor 10(!) in some use-cases by switching data structure of ParticleSet from Array-of-Structures to Structure-of-Arrays (#678, thanks @angus-g!)
  2. Support for sigma-grids with time-varying depth dimensions (#660, see also this tutorial)
  3. Further fixes some issues with dask chunking (# 764, #774, #776)
  4. Improves reliability when dt is very small (< 0.001 s) (#762)
  5. Support for a new ErrorCode StopExecution (#780)
  6. Support for python3.8 (#753)

And various other minor bug fixes
