Release 2021.11.01

Upgrade instructions

From #3570 (Support 1/r radial distribution in BBH domain outer shell):

• When constructing a BinaryCompactObject domain from options, move the UseProjectiveMap option into the EnvelopingCube group. Furthermore, the options for the outer spherical shell have changed to support more radial distributions. If you had these options before:

  # Old
  EnvelopingCube:
    Radius: 55.
  UseProjectiveMap: True
  OuterSphere:
    Radius: 300.
    UseLogarithmicMap: False

  adjust them like this:

  # New
  EnvelopingCube:
    Radius: 55.
    UseProjectiveMap: True
  OuterShell:
    InnerRadius: Auto  # you can specify the first spherical radius explicitly now, or use the default
    OuterRadius: 300.
    RadialDistribution: Linear  # You can also set this to `Logarithmic` or `Inverse`

From #3583 (Add IndexPolarAxis Option to Shell Domain):

The Shell constructor has been changed such than an additional argument index_polar_axis (additional Option IndexPolarAxis) must be passed following the argument aspect_ratio (Option AspectRatio). The default value is set to 2 (the z axis).

From #3617 (Move YlmSpherepack to NumericalAlgorithms/SphericalHarmonics.):

YlmSpherepack is now in the library NumericalAlgorithms/SphericalHarmonics.
