Description

Improvements
  • Improves robustness and speed of map_coordinates.
  • Adds axis parameters Ra_n and Za_n as optimizable DoF when using standard constrained optimization methods (ie, not ProximalProjection).
  • Adds method to convert FourierRZCurve to FourierXYZCurve.
  • Makes DESC classes compatible with JAX pytrees.
  • Adds Chebyshev polynomials as basis function (for future use).
Breaking changes
  • Renames theta_sfl to theta_PEST in compute functions to avoid confusion with other straight field line coordinate systems.
  • Makes plotting kwargs a bit more uniform. zeta, nzeta, nphi have all been superceded by phi which can be an integer for equally spaced angles or a float or array of float to specify angles manually.
Bug fixes
  • Avoids accidentally overwriting equilibria during automatic continuation method.
