.. currentmodule:: discretize .. _0.8.1_notes: =================================== ``discretize`` 0.8.1 Release Notes =================================== August 16, 2022 This patch release, in addition to some small bug fixes and runtime improvements implements, also implements some missing functionality for cylindrical meshes. ``CylindricalMesh`` ------------------- The big news is that 3D cylindrical meshes can now be output to a vtk format, which represents the wedges and arced cells as rational bezier curves in an unstructured vtk mesh. There is now full interpolation functionality when using 3D meshes, that includes appropriate interpolation that wraps around the angular component across the cylindrical mesh. The 3D nodal gradient operator is also implemented now. On the backend, several internal matrices should now build much quicker than before. Startup ------------ Since ``matplotlib``, ``vtk`` and ``omf`` libraries have been made optional, they are now only imported when the corresponding functionality is actually used. These means a reasonable improvement in the speed on the first import of ``discretize``. Bug Fixes --------- - 3D ``TreeMesh`` now generates the correct list of nodes in each cell - A missed internal deprecation for `zerosOutside` has been cleaned up - We've added python 3.10 to the testing sweet. - Bumped the minimum version of python to 3.7 to match the tests.
