Please send CitComS.py bug reports to cig-mc@geodynamics.org.
Version 2.1.0
* The filenames of post-processed and combined data are changed slightly. For
example, "model.cap0.100" is renamed to "model.cap00.100", "model.cap6.100"
is renamed to "model.cap06.100", and "model.cap11.100" is unchanged.
* A new input parameter "datadir" specifies the path of output files. The
"datafile" input parameter (cannot contain path) specifies the filename
prefix of the output files. In v2.0.x and before, "datafile" is used to
specify the path and filename prefix of output files. This change is not
backward compatible. Users need to change their old input file to run it.
* Improved build procedure. The CitComS executable embeds python
interpreter by default and is statically linked with MPI library,
which improves the portability of the code.
* New input format (INI-styled .cfg)
* No need to specify launcher.nodes anymore, it is calculated from the mesher
properties.
* Support of binary format output (using HDF5 library).
* Additional data output (including: geoid, stress, pressure, and horizontal
average) can be enabled/disabled by changing the input parameters.
* Scripts (using GMT commands) to plot 2-D cross sections of temperature field.
* Added/removed a few input parameters (all in solver.const component) for
computing geoid. Removed "layerd" and "wdensity" and added "radius",
"density_above" and "density_below".
* Fixes for several bugs: issue 30, 35, 42, 44 and 55. See the Geodynamics
Roundup issue tracker (http://geodynamics.org/roundup) and the file
ChangeLog for details. Important bug fixes include:
- Inconsistent times in C and Pyre. When 'fixed_timestep' is set
and the grid resolution is insufficient, the Pyre part of CitComS
could give the wrong model time. (Issue 35)
- Accidental deletion of surf files by batchsurf.py. batchsurf.py is a script
to combine the surf files. If the current working directory happens to be
the output directory of CitcomS, the script would delete the original surf
files. (Issue 55)
Version 2.0.2
* Fixes for several minor bugs: issues 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
Most of these are installation-related. See the Geodynamics Roundup
issue tracker (http://geodynamics.org/roundup) and the file ChangeLog
for details.
Version 2.0.1
* CitComS.py is now distributed under the GNU General Public License.
See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
* CitComS.py now uses the GNU Build System (Autoconf, Automake, and
Libtool). See the file INSTALL for building and installation
instructions.
