Changes for users:

  • The $recipe section of the input file now requires the recipe to be entered directly.

    • Do not use a text file name any more.
    • Do not start with a recipe name line.
    • The MAST_RECIPE_PATH environment variable is no longer necessary.
  • When the input file is processed, it will create a $personal_recipe section directly in the input file.

    • There is no longer a personal_recipe.txt file in the recipe directory.
    • If copying an input file for use in a new recipe, delete the $personal_recipe section from the new copy of the input file.
  • MAST will now tell you where it was installed when you run mast.

  • Platform support is now all under <MAST installation directory>/submit/platforms/.

    • The platforms folder is no longer copied to $MAST_CONTROL. See Installation for creating and modifying platforms.

Changes for programmers:

  • Automatic citation support files are no longer copied to $MAST_CONTROL. They are located in <MAST installation directory>/summary/citations.
  • Program key files are no longer copied to $MAST_CONTROL. They are located in <MAST installation directory>/ingredients/programkeys.
  • Optimizer.py is no longer copied to $MAST_CONTROL. It is located in <MAST installation directory>/structopt
  • mastmon_submit.sh is now copied from <MAST installation directory>/submit/platforms/<platform name> into $MAST_CONTROL each time that MAST is run. Edits should therefore be made to <MAST installation directory>/submit/platforms/<platform name>/mastmon_submit.sh if they are necessary.
  • The $MAST_CONTROL/set_platform file is no longer used and references to it have been removed.
