• GPEC - Fixes bug in terminal output of q during vsingfld

GPEC v1.5.0

Adds

• GPEC - Outputs new J. Callen threshold (w_isl_crit) for edge island penetration, controlled by the singtresh_flag. This requires PENTRC kinetic file inputs.
• GPEC - Outputs new coil to resonant field coupling matrix
• GPEC - Outputs vector potential in cylindrical coordinates
• GPEC - Outputs Delta and Jbgradpsi (bwp in ascii) to netcdf outputs, as well as PEST coordinate Jbgradpsi_pest
• GPEC - Outputs jafac and delpsi profiles via an optional diagnostic routine
• COIL - Adds leading DIII-D M-coil designs
• RMATCH - Adds variable inps_eps=1e-4,1e-7,1e-8 for automatic determination of computational elements, removing xmax_method and replacing xfac with inps_xfac
• RMATCH - Includes production code used to form initialization scans published by Froese & Brennan for General Fusion plasmas
• RMATCH - Adds TRANSP interface module

Changes

• VACUUM - Implicit uses of integer variables made explicit along with initialization of variables at zero (towards static compilation)
• GPEC - Improves terminal output with table-like formatting and a change from reported averages to vector magnitudes
• COIL - Updates coil dat file reading to use arbitrary x,y,z numerical formatting for higher accuracy
• COIL - Accepts unformatted header lines in coil dat files (still needs to be 3 integers and a float)
• PENTRC - Reduces number of LSODE warnings in energy and pitch integrals
• PYPEC - Makes necessary changes to switch to python3 and updates portal partitions

Fixes

• EQUIL - Adds proper zmid displacement to z grid from g-files (previously, z of equilibria were off by this value - effectively moving the magnetic axis to z=0 in all cases)
• DCON - Forces euler.bin outputs at critical steps on either side of singular surfaces, enabling safe use of euler_stride with GPEC
• DCON - Scans initial guess for inboard and outboard separatrix positions for robustness to deep magnetic wells within g-file domains
• STRIDE - Forces reforming of equil splines with user modified bounds
• GPEC - Fixed units of the perturbed field and displacement in netcdf output (previously, the former's "m" units were overwritting the field units)
• GPEC - Fixes units of the vacuum resonant flux in the netcdf output
• GPEC - Initializes the coil_indmat values to zero to prevent erroneous values beyond cmlow-cmhigh
• GPEC - Truncates rzphi extrapolations to the core when psilow or qlow sets the start far from the magnetic axis, preventing non-physical values from swamping the output
• VACUUM - Eliminates warning due to searchx declaring incorrect x-array size
• VACUUM - Adds ishape=42 to residual calculation in kernel
• INSTALL - Makes run_examples bash script explicitly use installation's exes

GPEC v1.4.4

Fixes

• DCON - Fixes output of plasma energy eigenvectors in netcdf

GPEC v1.4.3

Fixes

• VACUUM - Respects the namelist a and lspark when determining whether to write a wall geometry file output
• DCON - Properly spaces the vacuum matrices used when finding the peak dW with psiedge < psilim

Changes

• DCON - dW_edge in the netcdf output now includes the imaginary component of the least stable eigenvalue

GPEC v1.4.2

Fixes

• PENTRC - Respects the namelist verbose setting throughout the program

Changes

• COIL - Updates ASDEX Upgrade coil geometry to have more accurate, rounded cornering
