Hi Mike, Thank you, that is a good suggestion. I've added an issue for this and will take care of it soon. Britton On Wed, Dec 15, 2021 at 2:29 PM Michael Zingale < michael.zingale@stonybrook.edu> wrote:

Hi Britton et al. Congrats on the release. The subject line caught my attention, but if I look at the project page, it is hard for me to understand what this package does. I was curious if anything here would be useful for the work I do. Can I suggest that maybe a sentence or two be added to the top of the README to explain what sorts of analysis this enables?

Best,

Mike

Greetings!

yt_astro_analysis version 1.1 is released!

yt_astro_analysis is an extension of yt for astrophysical analysis. This is the first stable release of yt_astro_analysis to be compatible with yt version 4.0 and later. New Features

- The HaloCatalog has been significantly refactored (#58 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/58>, #62 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/62>) with the following additional improvements: - the interface to the Rockstar halo finder is now compatible with the latest version of Rockstar Galaxies #55 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/55> - all halo finders now support being run with time-series of datasets - halo particle ids now savable with FoF and HOP halo finders #52 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/52> - looping over halos is done with io chunks instead of ds.all_data for a significant speedup and reduction in memory - Allow more flexibility for specifying rockstar particle mass #84 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/84> - Add restart option for rockstar #82 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/82> - Adding an outer_radius parameter to the iterative COM callback #34 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/34> - Remove the sunyaev_zeldovich analysis module. This is now pyxsim <http://hea-www.cfa.harvard.edu/~jzuhone/pyxsim/>. #79 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/79> - Drop support for python 3.6 #100 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/100>, #101 <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/101>
