Status of sunrise exporter, radmc, and two point functions for 3.0 release?
by Nathan Goldbaum July 24, 2014

July 24, 2014

Hi all, I know that we want to port them, but since they will likely not be updated before we release, should we remove the sections on these analysis modules from the 3.0 docs? No need to completely remove them from the code, I don't think, so long as we don't advertise them as working in the docs. -Nathan

Branches post 3.0
by Matthew Turk July 23, 2014

July 23, 2014

Hi everyone, Yesterday during the doc sprint, the question of what to do about branches post-3.0 came up. Currently there are three branches, which correspond to different names on the front page of the yt homepage. * Stable => The branch into which bug fixes are merged, but not a lot of active development occurs. * yt => The 2.x development branch, which has slowed almost to a halt * yt-3.0 => The 3.0 development branch It seems there is broad consensus that after the release, … [View More]

halo merger tree in yt-3.0
by Britton Smith July 23, 2014

July 23, 2014

Hi all, I want to address the state of halo merger trees in yt-3.0. As it stands, one cannot use yt-3.0 to create a merger tree. The two existing methods have not been ported over from yt-2.x and now rely on functionality that has seen significant changes. For example, the old HaloProfiler has been removed, and the outputs of all yt halo finders have been redesigned to work with the new halo_analysis framework discussed in YTEP-0012. Both of these changes break one or both of the current … [View More]

New push access
by Matthew Turk July 23, 2014

July 23, 2014

Hi all, This morning, Nathan pointed out that we haven't updated the membership of the "yt-dev" team on BitBucket recently. Adding people to this team gives them the ability to hit the merge button on pull requests (and create repos as yt_analysis), and since they've both been incredibly enthusiastic and energetic contributors, I think it's long overdue! * Hilary Egan * Mike Zingale Welcome aboard, and sorry it didn't happen sooner! -Matt

Issue #866: Contour annotation doesn't appear to work with hexahedral meshes, spherical geometry (yt_analysis/yt)
by kylepp July 22, 2014

July 22, 2014

New issue 866: Contour annotation doesn't appear to work with hexahedral meshes, spherical geometry https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/866/contour-annotation-doesnt-ap… kylepp: When I try to add contours to a slice plot from a hexahedral mesh in spherical geometry, the contours aren't right, and appear in the wrong place (see attached image). Probably the contour method hasn't been updated to work with these meshes yet? Responsible: MatthewTurk

Issue #865: Slices of hexahedral meshes have incorrect axis labels in spherical coordinates (yt_analysis/yt)
by kylepp July 22, 2014

July 22, 2014

New issue 865: Slices of hexahedral meshes have incorrect axis labels in spherical coordinates https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/865/slices-of-hexahedral-meshes-… kylepp: When a slice is generated from a hexahedral mesh in spherical geometry, the axes are labelled with the names of the spherical coordinates, rather than the Cartesian or cylindrical coordinates. For example, taking a slice normal to 'phi' returns an image in the r-theta plane, but the axes should be labelled either as … [View More]

release notes
by Matthew Turk July 22, 2014

July 22, 2014

Hey all, I've drafted up a preliminary set of release notes for whenever 3.0 goes out the door: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12oiEFhgeCrKMWMlJbO_cmTRXGd3DmMNh839YGIj… I've opened it up for comments from everyone, so please go ahead and right click to leave notes and suggestions. I'm sure I've forgotten things. It might be a good idea to keep the bullet points short (shorter even than I have done here) and instead link to a full list of release notes and changes in the final doc build.… [View More]

Documentation Sprint Tomorrow
by Cameron Hummels July 21, 2014

July 21, 2014

In case anyone wants to join, we are going to have another docs sprint tomorrow at Noon PDT. If you are interesting in joining, we'll probably be online for a couple of ours working on things. It's mostly independent work, but it's nice to set time aside to work on it, and everyone is on a google hangout so you can ask questions where necessary. Let me know if you want me to invite you to join the google event. You can see a list of some of the remaining tasks to be done before yt 3.0 is … [View More]

Issue #864: Enzo particle filter failure with changset: d4bf4fed7f06 (yt_analysis/yt)
by Cameron Hummels July 21, 2014

July 21, 2014

New issue 864: Enzo particle filter failure with changset: d4bf4fed7f06 https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/864/enzo-particle-filter-failure… Cameron Hummels: I attempted to use a script that used to work to generate a simple star particle filter and then access the resulting `cic` field, and now it fails. I used `hg bisect` to track down the offending changeset which breaks this functionality, and it is d4bf4fed7f06, which was committed by @MatthewTurk two months ago. Not sure how … [View More]
