pynucastro/pynucastro: pynucastro 2.8.0

2.8.0

• update CI artifact action version (##1160)

• update zenodo authors (#1155)

• some optimization of AmrexAstroCxxNetwork C++ code (#1150)

• allow NSENetwork and DerivedRate control over spin reliability (#1118)

• add an error if ydot_cutoff_value is too high (#1154)

• DRGEP reduction now supports screening (#1148)

• symmetric screening support (using the same screening factor for forward and reverse rate) has been removed (#1147, #1158)

• add the ability to convert a network into a different type (#1140)

• add the ability to plot the net rate (forward - reverse) (#1135)

• screening when evaluating rates in python is now handled by the Rate class instead of the RateCollection class. This fixes an issue where ApproximateRate child rates were not being screened (C++ and PythonNetwork were unaffected). (#1144)

• fix pylint 4.0 compatibility (#1138)

• network_helper now takes a verbose flag (#1134)

• numerous redundant examples (from the examples/ directory) were removed (#1131)

• He burning example has been updated (#1129, #1139)

• RateCollection.plot can now use screening and take a matplotlib GridSpec that defines the axes (instead of creating them internally. (#1126)

• RateCollection now takes a verbose option, and most informational prints are disabled by default (#1130)

• Fix LaTeX rate rendering (#1128)

• fix a mutability issue in Library addition (#1112)

• add a method to Library to eliminate duplicate rates (#1111)

• load all nuclear spins by default, even those that are "unreliable" (#1115)

• fix a CI issue on DerivedRate (#1124)

• for ReacLibRate, use r.derived_from_inverse instead of r.reverse (#938)

• an electron-positron EOS was added. This directly integrates the Fermi-Dirac integrals and constructs n, p, and e. (#1076)

• NumpyNetwork has been removed -- it did not give much of a performance boost (#1109)

• MPI utils have been moved from reduction/ to a higher-level for reuse (#1104)

• Clean-up of the reduction code and new example documentation (#1098, #1103)

• update links docs CI block list (#1113)

• Composition can now zero out short-lived species (#1107)

• Weak rates from Pruet & Fuller for A = 65 to 80 have been added (#1091, #1093)

• RateFilter can now filter on an endpoint (#1106)

• The write_to_file method has been moved from Library to ReacLibLibrary since it only works with those rates. (#1105)

• A bounds issue has been fixed in the partition function C++ code (#1100, #1159)

• CI fixes due to python or Microphysics library changes (#1086, #1092, #1094, #1099, #1102)

• added an adaptived-difference method for differencing (#1075)

• AmrexAstroCxxNetwork templates now use the new neutrino cooling method (#1069)

• Binding energy example has been updated with a better example (#1087)

• Doc and API docstring improvements (#1079, #1082, #1083, #1084, #1116, #1117, #1127, #1132, #1139, #1141, #1143, #1146, #1149, #1152, #1157)

• pyproject.toml updated with license info (#1081)

• plot_network_chart now uses a GridSpec for a better layout (#1060)
