Hello,
We are happy to announce the release of Kwant 1.2 [1]. Kwant 1.2
is identical to Kwant 1.1 except that it has been updated to run
on Python 3.4 and above. Bugfix releases for the 1.1 and 1.2
series will mirror each other, i.e. 1.1.3 and 1.2.3 will fix the
same bugs.
Starting with Kwant 1.2, all Kwant development will target Python
3. We plan, however, to maintain Python 2 support with the 1.1
series for several years.
At this moment, Kwant 1.2 packages are available [2] for: Debian,
Ubuntu & Windows. Arch Linux and Mac are not ready yet, but will
hopefully follow soon. Please do report any problems (especially
with installation) that you may encounter with the new version.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
Happy kwanting,
Christoph on behalf of the Kwant team
