Dependencies

• Moved non-critical dependencies out of main requirements.

Version 0.7.3 (2026-03-27)

Fixes

• RadialSolver: Fixed bug in Takeuchi starting conditions where y6 was pulling the incorrect value. Kamata starting conditions were not affected.

Version 0.6.X

Version 0.6.11 (2025-11-06)

Dependencies

• Added more restrictive pinning for numpy's max version to work with latest CyRK.

Version 0.6.10 (2025-11-05)

New

• RadialSolver solution can now provide quality factors rs_solution.Q and phase lag angles (in radians) rs_solution.lag.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where RadialSolver would incorrectly say a result was successful when the application of surface boundary conditions failed.
• Fixed issue where RadialSolver solution's diagnostics would print the incorrect parameter for a planet's mass.

Changes

• RadialSolver solution returns nan's instead of None for Love numbers when a solution fails.
• RadialSolver solution Love number attributes now return lists of np.nan if the user requested multiple solution types (e.g., "tidal, loading") and the solution failed. This allows the user to still subscript rs_solution.k[0], rs_solution.k[1] even if the solution was not successful.

Tests

• Added more tests to check RadialSolver Solution attributes.

Version 0.6.9 (2025-09-19)

Fixes

• Fixed issue where TidalPy.RadialSolver.shooting would pick the incorrect starting index. If the starting layer (set by the starting radius) was not the first layer it could cause a int overflow and lead to access violation crashes.

Dependencies

• Updates some GitHub action dependencies.

Tests

• Added more tests to check RadialSolver starting radius conditions to try to catch bugs like this patch fixed!

Version 0.6.8 (2025-08-19)

Changes

• TidalPy.tides.modes.collapse_multilayer_modes now checks for ill-formed radius_arrays and will raise an error if it detects a problem.
• Improved how projection_map displays colorbar numbers.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where TidalPy.tides.modes.collapse_multilayer_modes was not treating macro-layer boundaries correctly.

Version 0.6.7 (2025-08-19)

Changes

• TidalPy.tides.modes.collapse_multilayer_modes now requires a tuple of rheology instances for both shear and bulk rheology. One for each macro layer. This allows different rheologies to be used for different layers.

Fixes

• Fixed some warnings that were showing up in the multilayer demo notebook.

Version 0.6.6 (2025-08-15)

Changes

• Updated to work with CyRK v0.15.1
  • This change results in about a 18% performance improvement for RadialSolver depending on the problem.
• Converted RadialSolver and EOSSolver status message to C++ strings.
• Updated some documentation.

Fixes

• Fixed potential issue where RadialSolver could use a very small or even negative maximum step size.

Version 0.6.5 (2025-08-12)

New

• Added test to check if structure arrays have been changed.
• Added debug flag to installation files to help with cython debugging.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where TidalPy structures (layers, planets, etc.) would return editable arrays instead of copies of arrays. This could lead to subsequent functions (like planet paint) changing the arrays. This fixes GitHub Issue #74.
• Fixed issue where shooting method was corrupting data when starting radius was too large (which happened for higher orders of l) This fixes GitHub Issue #72.
• Fixed broken demo notebooks.

Version 0.6.4 (2025-04-10)

Dependencies

• Removed max version limit for platformdirs package

Version 0.6.3 (2025-04-09)

Changes

• Changes GitHub actions to avoid testing when not needed.
• Now supports Python 3.13

Fixes

• Removed various files that were being included in the manifest

Dependencies

• Updated to work with CyRK 0.13.3
• Updated to work with Numpy 2.x

Version 0.6.2 (2025-03-28)

• Bumping version to integrate into conda-forge.
• Fixed some build processes that could cause both numpy 1.X and 2.X to be installed and inconsistent use (only affected MacOS)

Version 0.6.1 (2025-01-11)

Benchmarks and Performance

• Added performance benchmark for TidalPy.RadialSolver.helpers.

Fixes

• Fixed memory leak that was occurring in the EOS Solver (therefore also RadialSolver) due to CyRK's CySolverSolution not being dereferenced (this is a problem with CyRK, but hack applied to TidalPy until a fix can be made to CyRK).

Performance

• Improved TidalPy.RadialSolver.helpers.build_rs_input_from_data performance by factor of 10x to 150x depending on layer structure.
• Improved TidalPy.RadialSolver.helpers.build_rs_input_homogeneous_layers performance by factor of 15% to 3.5x depending on layer structure.
• Improved TidalPy.RadialSolver.radial_solver performance by around 10% depending on layer structure.

Version 0.6.0 (2025-01-07)

Removed

• Removed support for the older non-cythonized TidalPy.radial_solver module in favor of TidalPy.RadialSolver

RadialSolver Changes

• Moved RadialSolver's Boundary Condition finder to its own function in TidalPy.RadialSolver.boundaries.surface_bc.pyx to allow it to be used by both the shooting and propagation matrix techniques.
• Decoupled radial solver from shooting method.
  • Moved the shooting method (formerly just called cf_radial_solver) to a dedicated file to prep for a different dedicated file for the prop matrix solver.
  • Now TidalPy.RadialSolver.solver only contains driver functions and output structures.
• Added Propagation Matrix technique to RadialSolver
  • This is simplified for now. Only planets with 1 solid, static, incompressible layer are allowed.
    • Other assumptions can be approximated, e.g., liquid layers use a small shear modulus.
    • Multiple layers should also work if you have discontinuities in density, shear, etc. within your "one layer".
  • A cythonized solid fundamental matrix implementation can be found in TidalPy.RadialSolver.PropMatrix.solid_matrix.
• New radial slicing scheme required:
  • TidalPy now requires radial_solver input arrays to be defined in a precise manner:
    • radius_array must start at 0.
    • Each layer's upper and lower radius must be in the radius_array. That means if there is more than one layer there will be two identical radius values!
      • E.g., if a planet has a ICB at 1000km and a CMB at 3500km. Then radius_array must be setup with 2 values of 1000km and 2 values of 3500km.
      • Other parameters should be defined on a "as layer" basis. So shear modulus at the 1st 1000km would be the shear of the inner core, at the 2nd 1000km it would be the shear modulus of the outer core. Likewise shear modulus at the 1st 3500km would be for the outer core and at the 2nd 3500km would be the shear modulus for the mantle. Same goes for density and bulk modulus.
• Added warning to check for instabilities (based on large number of steps taken; requires warnings=True).
• Changes to radial_solver arguments:
  • Many changes to the order as well as additions and removals of arguments to radial_solver highly suggest looking through the updated documentation.
  • radial_solver no longer requires gravity_array.
    • New with this update is a self-consistent equation of state solver (EOSS) that is called from radial_solver. This EOSS is used to find gravity(r).
  • Bulk modulus must now be provided as a complex-valued array
    • If a non-zero imaginary portion is provided (e.g., found via a rheology) then bulk dissipation is now tracked.
    • If imaginary portions are zero, then bulk dissipation is ignored as in TidalPy v0.5.x and earlier. (this is actually dependent on your bulk rheology; it could also cause infinities...)
  • Several arguments have had slight name refactors which will break calls that used keyword arguments. Review the RadialSolver documentation or "TidalPy/RadialSolver/solver.pyx" for the new argument names.
  • upper_radius_bylayer_array must now be provided as a numpy array (previously a tuple of floats was acceptable).
  • Added new optional argument surface_pressure (default=0.0) used with EOSS to find pressure convergence.
  • Added new optional argument core_model (default=0) used to set the lower boundary condition when the propagation matrix technique is used.
  • Added new optional argument starting_radius (default=0.0) to allow the user to set the initial radius for the radial solution.
    • Setting the solution radius higher in the planet can improve solution stability when using the shooting method. Particularly if looking at higher harmonic degree_ls. There is a trade off with accuracy so advise testing.
    • The starting radius must be >= 0.0, if 0.0 is provided (the default) then TidalPy will use the Martens technique to find a suitable starting radius (function of degree_l, planet radius, and the new optional argument start_radius_tolerance which defaults to 1.0e-5).
  • Removed limit_solution_to_radius argument.
  • Added new optional argument use_prop_matrix (default=False) to use the propagation matrix technique over the shooting method.
  • Equation of State Solver arguments:
    • eos_method_bylayer - EOSS method to use for each layer (currently only "interpolate" is supported).
    • eos_integration_method Runge-Kutta method to use for EOSS (default="RK45"). eos_rtol and eos_atol can also be provided to control integration error.
    • eos_pressure_tol (default=1.0e-3) and eos_max_iters (default=40) control the pressure convergence of the EOSS.
  • Added optional argument perform_checks (default=True) that performs many checks on the user input before running the solution (small performance penalty, but highly recommend leaving on until your inputs are tested).
  • Added optional argument log_info (default=False) that will log key physical and diagnostic information to TidalPy's log (which can be set to be consol print, log file, or both via TidalPy's configurations).
    • Note there is a performance hit when using this, particularly if logging to file is enabled.

New RadialSolver Helpers

• To assist with the generation of valid inputs to radial_solver, TidalPy now provides two helper functions:
  • For planets with homogeneous layers: from TidalPy.RadialSolver import build_rs_input_homogeneous_layers takes in attributes for a planet made of layers with constant physical properties and then provides the arrays and other required radial_solver inputs that conform to the new radius_array scheme.
  • For planets with inhomogeneous layers: from TidalPy.RadialSolver import build_rs_input_from_data which parses data arrays (loaded from a file or built elsewhere like using a more robust EOS than TidalPy offers) and makes changes to ensure they will work with radial_solver.

Expanded RadialSolverSolution Attributes and Methods

• The output of radial_solver, an instance of the RadialSolverSolution, has been greatly expanded to provide much more data and functionality to the user. Full details can be found in the new RadialSolver documentation. Highlights include:
  • EOSS results like <solution>.mass, <solution>.moi, <solution>.moi_factor, <solution>.central_pressure, <solution>.surface_gravity.
  • Diagnostic data like number of integration steps required per layer to find a solutions <solution>.steps_taken, or EOSS diagnostics: <solution>.eos_iterations, <solution>.eos_pressure_error, <solution>.eos_success, <solution>.eos_message, <solution>.eos_steps_taken.
    • Much of the new diagnostic data as well as key results can now be quickly printed using <solution>.print_diagnostics().
  • Method to quickly plot the viscoelastic-gravitational solution y's <solution>.plot_ys().
  • Method to quickly plot the EOS results <solution>.plot_interior().
  • In addition to the previously provided attributes like <solution>.love, <solution>.k, <solution>.h, <solution>.l, <solution>.result.

Cython / C Changes

• Shifted away from PyMem_Free to CyRK.utils.mem_free to allow for consistency in future development.
  • Avoiding using these manual heap allocations whenever possible. Many new uses of smart pointers and C++ vectors.

Other Changes

• Updated GitHub actions.
• Moved to more consistent and robust types (e.g., int for degree_l vs. prior unsigned-char; unsigned-int).
• Added inverse function cinv in TidalPy.utilities.math.complex.
• New "TidalPy/constants.pyx" isolates all TidalPy constants. Available to both Python and Cython. Refactored all files to use the constants in this file.
• New numerics module TidalPy.math.numerics for low-level floating point functions.
  • New cythonized isclose function that matches functionality of python's math.isclose
• Cythonized radial sensitivity to shear/bulk functions in TidalPy.tides.multilayer.sensitivity (based on Tobie+2005)
• Cythonized radial heating functions that use the sensitivity to shear/bulk functions in TidalPy.tides.multilayer.heating (based on Tobie+2005)
• Improved logging so it is less spammy.
• Logger now logs all exceptions raised.
• Moved TidalPy's default config and world config dir to user's "Documents" folder (from system appdata folder).
  • If upgrading from previous version of TidalPy, you can safely delete the old config directory.
    • On Windows the old dir was: "'C:\Users\\AppData\Local\TidalPy'"; The new dir is "'C:\Users\\Documents\TidalPy'"
    • On Mac the old dir was: "'/Users//Library/Application Support/TidalPy'"; The new dir is "'/Users//Documents/TidalPy'"
    • On Linux the old dir was: "'/Users//.local/share/TidalPy'"; The new dir is "'/home//Documents/TidalPy'"
• New switch TidalPy.log_to_file() to quickly turn on saving log to file (this can also be adjusted in the TidalPy configurations).
• TidalPy now looks for an environment variable "TIDALPY_TEST_MODE" to turn on test mode during first initialization (can later be changed using the TidalPy.test_mode() command or setting TidalPy._test_mode = False; TidalPy.reinit()).
• Made use of more TidalPy-specific exceptions.
• Tweaked the TidalPy.utilities.graphics -> yplot.
• User can now override TidalPy.config using TidalPy.reinit(<new config toml file path; or dictionary of configs>).
• Refactored and made improvements to TidalPy.utilities.graphics.planet_plot.

Fixes:

• Added error message to RadialSolver.radial_solver if length of provided assumption tuples is not the same.
• Fixed issue where non C-continguous arrays were allowed in cythonized functions that required them.

Version 0.5.1 (2024-02-14)

• Removed Python 3.8 support due to issues with building SciPy.

Version 0.5.0 (2024-02-14)

This version is likely to break code based on TidalPy v0.4.X and earlier

Cythonizing TidalPy

• A major change starting with v0.5.0 is the switch from numba.njited functions to cython precompiled functions and extension classes. The reasons for doing this are numerous. This transition will be completed in stages with minor versions (v0.X.0) each bringing a new set of cythonized updates until all njited functions are retired.
• For this version:
  • Converted TidalPy.radial_solver.radial_solver to cythonized TidalPy.RadialSolver.radial_solver.
    • The old radial solver method will be removed in TidalPy version 0.6.0.
  • Added new cython-based TidalPy.utilities.classes.base_x base cython extension class that other classes are built off of.
  • Converted TidalPy.rheology.complex_compliances.compliance_models to cythonized TidalPy.rheology.models.
    • Improved the new rheology methods to better handle extreme values of frequency and modulus.
    • The old rheology solvers will be removed in a future release of python.
  • Added several new cython-based helper functions in the utilities package.

Other Major Changes

• Added support for Python 3.11 and 3.12. TidalPy now runs on Python 3.8--3.12.
  • Note that currently the Burnman package does not support 3.12 so that functionality is limited to python 3.8-3.11.
• Removed support for solver_numba in the radial_solver module.
• Removed some imports from main package and sub modules' __init__ to avoid slow load times.
• Moved conversion tools from TidalPy.toolbox.conversions to TidalPy.utilities.conversions.
• Changed setup files so that cython code can be compiled.
  • special - for high-performance, general, scientific functions.
• Moved TidalPy configs to a standard user directory by default. The specific location will depend on the OS.
  • Default configs will be installed on the first import TidalPy call after installation.
    • These defaults are stored in the TidalPy.defaultc.py as a string which is copy and pasted to the new TidalPy_Configs.toml.
  • There is a new TidalPy.clear_data() function to delete all data stored in these locations. Data will be rebuilt the next time TidalPy is imported.
  • New TidalPy.set_config(config_path) to change the active configuration file used by TidalPy.
    • Note that TidalPy.reinit() should be called after changing the configurations.
  • New TidalPy.set_world_dir(world_dir_path) to change which directory to pull world configs from.
  • Moved away from the system of default.py configurations for sub modules. All default configs are stored in the same TidalPy_Config.toml
• Shifted from json to toml files for world configs.
  • Store all world configs to a zip file for easier distribution.
• TidalPy now requires:
  • CyRK>=0.8.6
  • Cython>=3.0.0
• Moved BurnMan 3rd party dependence to a more dedicated Extending folder for future development.
• To make TidalPy lighter weight we are starting to remove a lot of 3rd party packages.

Minor Changes and New Features

• complex_compliance configurations are now stored in the top level rheology in all configs.
  • For example, in prior TidalPy versions you would need to change the complex compliance model by editing config['layers']['mantle']['rheology']['complex_compliance']['model'] = 'andrade'. Now this would be: config['layers']['mantle']['rheology']['model'] = 'andrade'.
• Added unique frequency finder functions to the modes module.
• Moved most of the type hints behind the typing.TYPE_CHECKING flag.
• Moved non-critical files out of repository.
• Created a new tides.heating module and moved the volumetric heating calculations there.
• Expanded the performance suite to better track the radial_solver module.
• Moved cache.py to top-level.
• Turned off numba cacheing on several functions that may be used in the radial solver.
  • rheology
    • complex compliance functions
  • radial_solver.numerical
    • initial guess functions
    • interface functions
• Converted radial_solver.numerical initial guess and interface functions output to np.ndarrays rather than numba lists.
• Removed config_helper.py and the functions defined within.
• New RadialSolver class now supports more than just boolean inputs.
  • Future proofing to allow for a greater variety of layer types.
• Added exoplanet archive download functionality in TidalPy.utilities.exoplanets.

• Fixed obliquity not being used issue in quick tides calculator.
• Fixed issue in incorrect TidalPy version being loaded into the package.

Performance Improvements

• Improved the performance of the stress and strain calculator by ~20%.
• Cythonize Performance Increases:
  • New RadialSolver.radial_solver leads to a ~50x performance boost.
  • New cythonized rheology models are 500% faster for arrays; 40,000% faster for scalars (not a typo!)

Version 0.4.X

Version 0.4.1 Alpha (Spring 2023)

Major Changes

• Moved radial_solver to a top-level module of TidalPy.

• Started a lot of prep work for a move to sphinx or similar for documentation (this will be a 0.5.0 feature).
• Created a generalized multi-layer collapse function in TidalPy.tides.multilayer.numerical_int.collapse.
  • This will likely break old code. It was introduced in v0.4.0.dev10.
  • Arbitrary layer structures can now be fed into the y-solver. e.g., liquid-solid, solid-liquid, liquid-solid-liquid-solid, etc.
    • Note: Multiple dynamic liquid layers will likely lead to stability problems.
  • y-solver no longer requires a model_name variable. The function will automatically utilize the correct model based on the is_layer_solid and is_layer_static lists.
  • Removed the old code that handled individual cases.
• Interfaces between multiple liquid layers are now supported (but not well tested).
  • Two liquid layers of different types can be next to one another (dynamic-static; static-dynamic).

• Removed the y-derivative return from the propagation matrix (to match the output format of the numerical int)
  • Breaks Old Code
• Refactored tidal_y_solver to radial_solver since non-tidal calculations can be made with it.
  • Breaks Old Code (pre v0.4.0.dev11)
• Switched from setup.py to a streamlined pyproject.toml installation process.
• Changes to radial ODE's
  • Input arguments and output diffeqs are now passed as numpy arrays rather than tuples.

• Fixed an error in the multimode volumetric heating calculation where "_rr", "_thth", "_phiphi" were being double counted
• Fixed an error in the stress/strain calculations where the static, instead of complex, shear was being used.

• Improved performance on both mode and non-mode tidal potential functions by at least a factor of 3. If used correctly these can be nearly 100x faster.
• Added a new obliquity version of the mode version tidal potential.
• Stress and strain relationship for multi-layer tides now allows for arbitrary rheology.
• Created a single multilayer solver to handle an arbitrary layer structure. See TidalPy.tides.multilayer.numerical_int.solver.py
• Stress & Strain relationship now accounts for arbitrary rheology.
• Created a single multi-mode solver for multilayer problems. See TidalPy.tides.modes.multilayer_modes.py
• TidalPy now defaults to using the frequency dependent zeta versions of Andrade and Sundberg rheologies.
  • This was done to avoid issues with real(complex_comp) at zero frequency which happens in multi mode calculations.
• Added numba-safe version of multilayer calc

Minor Changes

• Added a helper function to quickly calculate masses, volumes, and gravity for spherical shells provided a radius and density array: TidalPy.utilities.spherical_helper.calculate_mass_gravity_arrays.
• Added more colormaps, updated how reserved versions are constructed, updated old maps.
• Better support for post-multiprocessing function inputs.
• Refactored tidal mode calculation functions into a new TidalPy.tides.modes module.
• Added a voxel calculator to TidalPy.utilities.spherical_helper. Also, added related tests & benchmarking tools.
• Added a dictionary to track known color maps. It can be imported at TidalPy.utilities.cmaps.KNOWN_CMAPS
• Made some improvements to the unique_path function in io_helper.py
• Rearranged the tidal potential argument order.
• Added some sanity checks on the various kinds on both mode and non-mode tidal potentials to compare with one another.
• Updated stress, strain, and displacement calculations to account for new low-memory calculation method.
• Greatly increased performance of multilayer stress, strain, and potential calculations.
• Refactored much of the multilayer functions from TidalPy.toolbox to TidalPy.tides.multilayer.numerical_int and sub modules
• Reworked numba-safe RK integrator. Does not reproduce scipy exactly for chaotic functions when numba is on.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue that was causing some multilayer boundary calculations to be 10x slower.
• Fixed issue where 2D arrays would not work on njited neg_array_for_log_plot function.
• Fixed issue where there could be negative love numbers with frequency is zero in multi-mode calculator

Version 0.3.3 Alpha (Fall 2021)

Major Changes

• Updated to work with BurnMan v1.0 release.
• Updated the NSR tidal potential for multilayer code to a multi-modal version
• Improvements to the multilayer module

Minor Changes

• Added more tests
• Removed the remaining _array functions

Version 0.3.2 Alpha (Summer 2021)

Major Changes

• Changes to setup to use released version of BurnMan.

Version 0.3.1 Alpha (Summer 2021)

Major Changes

• Added a simplistic (not modal version) NSR tidal potential for use in the multilayer code.
• Added multiprocessor toolkit to TidalPy.utilities.multiprocessing

Minor Changes

• Did large scale code reformatting (just style, no refactoring) on nearly all files.
• Cleaned up some doc strings.

Version 0.3.0 Alpha (Spring 2021)

Scripts based on 0.2.x will likely break with this version!

Major Changes:

• Added the first iteration of a multilayer tidal calculator module in TidalPy.tides.multilayer this module provides basic functionality to calculate tidal dissipation in a semi-homogeneous, shell-based approach. This is more accurate than the pure homogeneous model used throughout the rest of TidalPy. The downside with the current version is that it does not allow for NSR or high eccentricity / obliquity. A future version will attempt to add in a more robust Tidal Potential equation which will allow for additional physics.
• Setup.py has been revamped as has the installation process. This is in prep to allow for TidalPy to become available on PyPI.
• Did away with most of the _array functions. Found a way for njit to compile a function to handle either arrays or floats.
  • Left the self._func_array (in addition to self._func) in the model.py classes just in case we ever ** do** need to define array functions in the future: all the infrastructure is still in place.
• Added a numba-safe Explicit Runge-Kutta integrator. This is fully wrapped in njit'd functions.
  • On its own this can be 5--20 times faster than scipy.solve_ivp.
  • This also allows the integration function to be used from within another njit'd function(s).
  • This is still very experimental so please use caution and testing when using it.

Minor Changes

• Numerous bug fixes.
• Removed the array versions of the dynamic functions.
  • use_array is still tracked in OOP and some quick calculation functions. These may all be not necessary now.
• New cookbook to showcase the multilayer calculations.
• Added surface area slices to base physical class.
• Fixed some issues with how radius slices are tracked within layers and worlds.
  • <world/layer>.radii[0] is never the radius at the bottom of the object, it is always one dx up.
  • An interpolation had to be added to Burnman layers since Burnman radii starts at 0.
• Improved various docstrings.
• Refactored the TidalPy.tools to TidalPy.toolbox.
• Refactored Cookbooks to Demos.
• conversions.semi_a2orbital_motion and orbital_motion2semi_a now always return np.nan where they used to return complex numbers.

Version 0.2.X

Version 0.2.1 Alpha (Fall 2020)

Will break studies based on previous versions

Note: TidalPy version of "0.2.0" was never made publicly available. This is the next version after 0.1.0.

Major Changes

• Major refactoring all over.
• Replaced the custom logging system with one based on Python's logging package.
  • Logger will not print to console if using a Jupyter notebook.
  • User can decide if the log is saved to disk or not.
• Modified OOP Backend
  • Models are now free to access the state properties of layers and planets. This eliminates the need to pass arguments into model classes for calculations. All the user has to do is change the layer and/or planet's state properties and then those changes will automatically propagate.
• New Rheology Scheme
  • To better follow real physics, all strength-based models have been moved under the redesigned Rheology class.
  • This includes: liquid and solid viscosity calculations, partial melting, and complex compliance
  • Love numbers are now calculated by a new Tides class instead of the Rheology (see next bullet point).
• New Tides Module
  • New Tides class and child classes have been implemented which handle all Love number and tidal calculations for both a rheology-based approach or for the CPL/CTL model.
  • This module contains functionality to calculate tidal heating and tidal potential derivatives based on a complex compliance function and the various thermal and orbital parameters.
  • The functions to calculate the Love numbers are also stored here.
  • New eccentricity functions have been added including terms up to and including e^20 and tidal order l=7.
  • New inclination functions have been added (with arbitrary accuracy) up to tidal order l=7.
• Other
  • Various functions and classes have been reworked or removed to simplify the code base.

Minor Changes

• Removed ".pyname" from classes.
• Utilities package has been reorganized.
• Changed the setup pipeline to only require one command.

QOL Improvements

• Many new docstrings, type hints, and overall clean up of functions and classes. All docstrings should now follow the numpy format.
• Many new tests for both the functional and OOP versions of TidalPy.
• setup.py no longer requires a separate command line call to install the Burnman package.
• More comments and spelling/typo fixes everywhere.
• Added CVD-friendly color maps made by Crameri (2018; http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1243862) to the utilities.graphics module
• More log.debug() calls all over. This should hopefully help bugfixes in the future (especially OOP bugs).

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug in world_builder.py : build_from_world where nested dicts were not being overwritten as expected.
• Fixed bug in melt fraction checks for the float version of the Henning model.
• Fixed bug in the Henning melting model where viscosity and shear was not being calculated correctly during the breakdown band (critical melt fraction + ~5%). This only affected a phase space that was rarely important for tidal calculations (planets would pass through it very quickly).
