> Thoughts? Nothing specific, except that I support this idea. I've been bugging Sam to integrate his volume rendering stuff into the development branch (and write docs for it simultaneously), so that stuff may be ready for release by then (Sam?). I would also like to point out that we will have to go through the docs and change the examples, in addition to the conversion rubric Matt wrote about.

Migration to 2.0 being the stable branch
by Matthew Turk Nov. 8, 2010

Nov. 8, 2010

Hi all, I'd like to set a timeline for merging the current "yt" branch into being the "stable" branch. I think this could coincide with a 2.0 release, but I'm not sure that the entire checklist for 2.0 is going to get done in a reasonable timescale. (I'm working on the documentation in my spare time, and I think that we are likely to have full support for FLASH, mostly support small RAMSES datasets, and limited ART support. A few wishlist items won't make it.) Has anyone here not upgraded to the reorganized branch? I feel like the people who are reading this are pretty likely to be able to work out bugs/import errors/missing functionality. Anyway, barring any objections here, in a few weeks I'll send out an email to yt-users notifying everyone that scripts will have to change slightly (with a key for swapping them) with any new upgrades to the codebase and then by the middle/end of December perform the merge, with an affiliated release of 2.0. Thoughts? -Matt

Trac is down
by Matthew Turk Nov. 5, 2010

Nov. 5, 2010

Hi all, Just a quick note that I know that the yt Trac is down. There was a server migration that evidently Trac didn't handle well; I'm going to try to address it as soon as I can, but I'm traveling this week so it may not be until late tonight or tomorrow night. The documentation should still be up. If you're getting host timeouts -- can't access the website -- those should be resolved in a few hours when DNS catches up to the server migration. Sorry about the inconvenience! -Matt
