PySDM v3.0.0-pre.5

• Bump setuptools-scm from 8.3.1 to 9.0.1 by @dependabot[bot] in #1693
• CI: run examples on macos-14 instead of macos-13; drop example execution on P3.9 (smoke tests will still run on P3.9); merge 6 example sets into 3 (thanks to shorter execution times) by @slayoo in #1694
• Shipway & Hill example fix: missing (1+mixing_ratio) factor in calculation of derivative of rho_d when accounting for water vapour by @yoctoyotta1024 in #1688

New Contributors

• @yoctoyotta1024 made their first contribution in #1688

PySDM v3.0.0-pre.4

What's Changed

• CI: workaround failing Homebrew Paraview downloads by @slayoo in #1692
• global backend instance cache by @slayoo in #1691

starting from this release, backend instantiation works as follows (with the API essentially unchanged):

• Numba(formulae=None, ...) and ThrustRTC(formulae=None, ...) return a new backend instance each time called
• CPU(formulae=None, ...) and GPU(formulae=None, ...) use a global backend instance cache (with formulae and all other **kwargs featured in the cache key)

Thus, any code that used the CPU/GPU aliases before, now uses the new cache. This provides a considerable speed up in cases where multiple simulations are performed, and where previously the backend was not shared among particulators.

PySDM v3.0.0-pre.3

What's Changed

PySDM v3.0.0-pre.2

What's Changed

• dry-radius initialisation by computing equilibrium size for a given input wet radii (incl. API module-name change: initialisation.equilibrate_wet_radii -> initialisation.hygroscopic_equilibrium) by @slayoo in #1676

thanks @tluettm for the suggestion, pair-coding and for the review

Full Changelog: v3.0.0-pre.1...v3.0.0-pre.2

PySDM v3.0.0-pre.1

What's Changed

• docs: add a note on units to the PySDM docs landing page by @slayoo in #1671
• add checks for broken links in markdown files, docstrings, notebooks, etc by @AgnieszkaZaba in #1672
• docs: add acknowledgement for M3ODEL funding by @slayoo in #1675
• add "threshold" homogeneous freezing & refactor immersion/homogenesous freezing setting flags + new thaw logic + GPU support for homogeneous freezing + removal of paper .md files in anticipation of 3.0-preX releasing scheme + update in copula examples to match changes in pyvinecopulib API by @tluettm in #1665

note: since in #1665, we've introduced API-breaking changes (naming of parameters in Freezing dynamic constructor), we are introducing v3.0.0-pre.N version numbering. Please expect a dozen of -pre.N releases overt the next months, before we roll out PySDM v3.
