ancklo/ChaosMagPy: ChaosMagPy v0.3

This is a new version of ChaosMagPy which can be used together with the latest CHAOS model release (CHAOS-7.2).

Below is a copy of the changelog.

Version 0.3

Date: April 20, 2020 Release: v0.3 Version of CHAOS: CHAOS-7.2 (0702)

News

The version identifier of the CHAOS model using x, which stands for an extension of the model, has been replaced in favor of a simple version numbering. For example, CHAOS-6.x9 is the 9th extension of the CHAOS-6 series. But starting with the release of the CHAOS-7 series, the format CHAOS-7.1 has been adopted to indicate the first release of the series, CHAOS-7.2 the second release (formerly the first extension) and so on.
