Release v1.2.0

v1.2.0

New Features

• new method: analytical_andrade, see documentation for detials.
• updates to xfit_premelt:
  • add direct melt effects from Yamauchi and Takei, 2024. The xfit_premelt method will use the updated parameter values when VBR.in.anelastic.xfit_premelt.include_direct_melt_effect = 1; (default is 0, a future VBRc version will change the default to 1).
  • change default exponential melt factor (the alpha in exp(-alpha*phi) in the viscosity relationship) from 25 to 30.
• add a VBR_save function for saving VBR structures
• add convenience function, full_nd, to create filled arrays

Bug fixes

• fix for undefined behavior of pre-melt scaling at Tn == 1.0

Deprecations

• vbrListMethods has been renamed to VBR_list_methods
• Density_Thermal_Expansion has been renamed to density_thermal_expansion
• Density_Adiabatic_Compression has been renamed to density_adiabatic_compression

Infrastructure improvements

• add new function for printing deprecation messages, print_func_deprecation_warning
• add framework for handling temporary files in test suite
• add a development tag to version structure
• add weekly test runs

Release v1.0.1

v1.0.1

This is the first series-1 release! It is backwards compatible.

new features

• units metadata: VBR.in.SV as well as all output methods now contain a units structure that contains the units for each field. You can also call SV_input_units() to get a structure that lists the expected units for each VBR.in.SV field.
• version tracking: after calling VBR_spine, all VBR structures will have a field, VBR.version_used with info on the VBR version that you used.
• a new function for calculating density as a function of pressure, using an interpolation of experimental measurements on F90 San Carlos olivine, san_carlos_density_from_pressure, following Abramson et al., JGR, 1997. Useful for
  quickly calculating olivine density for a given pressure.

bug fixes

• rename Project/bayesian_fitting/run.m to run_bayes.m to avoid name conflict (#50)

changes

• some of the functions related to non-seismic material properties used in the forward
  models directory have been moved and renamed. No change in usage, but it is now easier
  to use those functions in a piecemeal fashion if desired. See functions in the density
  and thermal_properties subdirectories within vbr/vbrCore/fucntions/ for available
  functions.

Release v0.99.4

v0.99.4

maintenance updates (testing, github CI, documentation)

new features

• vbr_version() function, returns the version of the VBRc that you are using

v0.99.3

v0.99.3 bayes inference project improvements

• some fixes and improvements to the Bayes project
• matlab/octave compatibility improvements
• switch to standard open source contribution workflow

v0.99.2 bayes inference project improvements

Primarily changes to bayes inference project:

• attempts to fetch required data automatically (no longer need to use python)
• now works in Octave as well

Some other small bug fixes and new examples.

v0.99.1 additional examples, documentation, small code fixes

Small improvements:

• Includes more examples in Projects/vbr_core_examples to match those on https://vbr-calc.github.io/vbr/examples/vbrcore/
• VBR.in.GlobalSettings now sets phi_c and x_phi_c for small-melt effect so that it can be more sensibly to the viscous and anelastic methods as needed. VBR.in.GlobalSettings.melt_enchancement is still 0 by default.
