Hi all,
Lately, a lot of the yt-3.0 dev has been going on in the unitrefactor domain. Britton, John, Nathan and I (in alphabetical order :) have been pushing pretty hard on getting things in order. I've been trying to keep things organized a bit by using Trello, which Sam showed me and was pretty cool -- I'm not sure I can give out access to writing to the boards to anybody, but I think the yt boards are all "public" readable, and you can request write privs:
https://trello.com/b/yv7o0dTp/unit-refactor
Anyway, as an update, here's where we stand on unit refactor.
Big blockers:
* MOAB, GDF, Pluto, Chombo frontends * A few remaining (minor) cosmology issues that Britton's just about got finished and for which I owe some unit tests * Some discussion about metallicity units:
https://bitbucket.org/MatthewTurk/yt/pull-request/38/fixing-cgs-unit-convers...
* Docs haven't been copied in yet, but John Z has updated the bootcamp to 3.0 (units) style.
Not to sound like a broken record, but have the docs covering the unit refactor, SPH smoothing, and all of the other new things in unit refactor been written? Or are you just talking here about moving the yt-docs repository (which only covers yt 2.x) into the yt-3.0 branch of the yt repository? I'm excited to use the new yt, but I just want to make sure I know how and it is clear how it all works under the hood.
The units docs have been written, and all of the bootcamps have been updated. I have not yet written the smoothing docs. But, the bullet point I meant was just about copying the docs in.
Great to hear it! Is it possible to get the smoothing docs in with this PR since this PR includes the smoothing functionality? Good luck today!
I think that's ... just about it. At some point, maybe not *immediately*, we also want to get non-CGS units much, much easier to set as the default.
So, the other thing -- we *just* landed (in unit refactor) SPH support with smoothing fields. More on this is forthcoming, but I'm pretty pleased with where it is now, and best of all there's room for improvement and optimization.
I'm going to be traveling a good amount the next couple weeks, but I hope to be able to address the remaining blockers, and then we can land the unit refactor in mainline yt-3.0 at some point after the documentation is included.
We'll let that sit for a while, and then at some point the "rebranding" PR (which will be more invasive technically, but *less* invasive API-wise) can be issued, tested, and landed. I actually think it might be reasonable to get 3.0 out ... kind of soon-ish.
Anyway, if you want to test it out, grab the unitrefactor bookmark from MatthewTurk/yt ; I'll update the PR into the main yt repository as soon as these next couple PRs pass into my repo.
