Recent Releases of sapphirepp

Changes: 1.2.0

Add the ability to directly solve for steady-state solutions
- Breaking change: A new VFP flag called VFPFlag::time_evolution was added to indicate the inclusion (or exclusion) of the time derivative of $f$. Users are asked to adapt their codes: please look at the examples.
Add the ability to scale the distribution function
- We added VFPFlag::scaled_distribution_function to allow users to compute $p^3f$ instead of $f$. This is particularly useful if a large $p$-range is needed and there are not many particles with high energies.
Add an example Steady state parallel shock to demonstrate the above two features
Add two new boundary conditions and improve the documentation of the boundary conditions
- Breaking change: Users can now set inflow and reflective boundary conditions. All boundary conditions are now documented on an extra webpage.
The phase space reconstruction of $f$ now uses (more correctly) $\cos\theta$ instead of $\theta$
- Breaking change: Renamed PhaseSpaceReconstruction to ProbeLocation.
Improve the parameter handling of user-defined input functions
Improve the Parallel shock example

Add plotting routines
- We use ParaView Python scripts to provide reproducible plotting routines. An introduction is given on an extra webpage.
Add logfiles
- The log verbosity and logfile can be specified via command line options. See ./build/sapphirepp -h for all options.
Simplify cmake building routine
- Breaking change: Add cmake macro sapphirepp_setup_target.
Change folder structure
- Breaking change: Examples are now in examples/vfp/. Parameters files are not copied to build folder. We recommended to always execute from the sapphirepp folder: ./build/sapphirepp parameter-template.prm
Add function to read in .csv files
