The Cyclus core team is excited to announce the second stable version after over a year of development! This includes nearly 1300 commits by 6 developers. Major features include,
- A module separation effort. This required major changes to the building and testing system. See Cycamore [1].
- Added tests and basic convenience features to various classes, mostly with respect to the critical material class.
- Substantive performance improvements (~50x for some simulations).
- Input code revamp.
- Output recording code rewrite.
- Added data type specification capability to rng system.
- Made various ResourceBuffer, Material Class, and agent memory management improvements and tests.
- Made the relaxng schema system modular.
- Made significant build system and installation changes to allow separating the modules into Cycamore and creating CycStub.
- Moved modules into their own repository (Cycamore).
- Improved or added material convenience functions for developers such as subtraction, un-normalization, and more.
- Added significant testing in Material, CompMap, and related classes.
- Added additional exception throwing for exceptional absorption and extraction cases (extracted too much, absorbed negative).
- Made fixes to the build system to better address the needs of Mac OSX users.
- Added libxml++ as a dependency.
- Added features to the command line interface to allow output file specification.
- Updated code base in accordance with Google Style Guide (0's to NULL when NULL is intended, prepended iterators, moved curly braces, etc.)
- Expanded extraction by mass to allow various input units.
- Added functions and tests for almost equality and thresholding in the material class.
- Created the CycArithmetic class which holds tools for more sophisticated floating point arithmetic.
- Fixed absorption method bug (#493, https://github.com/cyclus/cyclus/issues/493).
- Substantive performance improvements (~50x for some simulations).
- Easier to create/record custom data to output. Modular, drop-in support for different output formats.
- Top-level simulation flow broken into clear module loading, simulation initialization/construction, simulation running, and module unloading steps.
- Added ability to invoke daily actions (technically this reduces the timestep to a single day for modules that need to take advantage of the smaller granularity).
- IsoVector's compmap encapsulated in a separate class.
- IsoVector and material interfaces updated accordingly.
- Added an enrichment toolkit to assist with SWU/NatlU calculations.
- Added SWU/Natural uranium calculation methods.
- Added a facility-building and management interface kit, allowing for intelligent facility build decision making.
- Added a commodity supply/demand toolkit, providing an interface for supply/demand inquiry and supplier/demander registration with a manager.
- Added a commodity production toolkit, providing an interface to query agents ability to produce commodities.
- Added a toolkit for agenting general symbolic functions and factory methods to produce them.
- Added derived classes to agent linear, exponential, and piecewise functions.
- Added a robust dynamic loading interface for dynamic libraries for easy opening, access, and closing.
- Separated unix and windows-specific helper functions for dynamic loading.
- Added a generic interface for input querying.
- Added a specific interface for loading, parsing, and querying xml files, including rng schema verification.
- Added interleaves to cyclus.rng's institution and region sections.
- Added capacity members to cyclus.rng.
- Deprecated converter facilities.
- Known Bug (#514): decayed compositions are not recorded in output database.
