Backwards compatibility warning

Tangos v1.10 requires pynbody 2.0, which does not maintain perfect backwards-compatibility with pynbody v1. Therefore, consider carefully whether you want to upgrade tangos if you are in the middle of a project. You may be best sticking with a single version of pynbody/tangos for a given project.

One notable change is that AHF halos now receive a different numbering scheme (due to historical inconsistencies in pynbody that are now fixed). It is possible to get backward-compatibile numbering, but this requires updating your database. You should probably reach out to mtremmel@ucc.ie or andrew.p.pontzen@durham.ac.uk if you plan to upgrade tangos while working with an AHF-based simulation catalogue.

There are no breaking changes in tangos itself, other than the requirement for pynbody 2.0 (https://github.com/pynbody/tangos/pull/250 https://github.com/pynbody/tangos/pull/254 https://github.com/pynbody/tangos/pull/266 https://github.com/pynbody/tangos/pull/265 https://github.com/pynbody/tangos/pull/268 )

Other enhancements

• Web server now searches for a free port, or a port can be specified on the command line (e.g. tangos serve production.ini 8000 for port 8000; or tangos serve just finds the first free port above 6543; https://github.com/pynbody/tangos/pull/250 )
