Unreleased

Added

  • Add piece-wise linear spatial distribution for source definition, from @ilhamv

0.15.2 - 2026-08-15

Fixed

0.15.0 - 2026-08-11

Added

  • Add NeutronMultigroupData and hybrid neutron multigroup transport with material-local physical energy grids and energy-representation policies, together with the Material.multigroup() convenience interface, from @ilhamv
  • Add manually triggered unit and serial regression compatibility testing for Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.14 while retaining Python 3.13 for automatic testing, from @ilhamv
  • Add PEP 561-compatible inline type information and strict Pyright checks for the public Python API, from @ilhamv

Changed

  • Breaking: Unify native and neutron multigroup materials under one non-polymorphic Material and runtime layout, replacing MaterialMG and the separate native and multigroup material structures, from @ilhamv
  • Group transport techniques under simulation.technique, from @ilhamv
  • Breaking: Encapsulate MC/DC model building and execution within an explicit mcdc.Simulation instance, replacing the global simulation state and interface from @ilhamv
  • Modernize and reorganize the documentation around distinct user, API reference, theory, project, and developer paths; adopt the PyData Sphinx Theme; and expand the architecture and extension guidance from @ilhamv
  • Move model-specific finalization into simulation compilation and reserve runtime preparation for framework-level packing and execution setup from @ilhamv
  • Move regression tests from the custom run.py harness to pytest-based collection and reporting from @massimolarsen
  • Breaking: Require Python 3.11 or newer and designate Python 3.13 as the primary automatic test version, from @ilhamv
  • Run Black and Pyright with Python 3.14 while keeping Black output compatible with every supported Python version, from @ilhamv
  • Adopt a three-month seasonal cycle for minor releases while continuing to publish patch releases as needed, from @ilhamv

Removed

  • Remove the legacy install.sh installation helper, from @ilhamv

0.13.0 - 2026-06-12

This release marks the final development phase under CEMeNT and the beginning of development under CARRE. A significant refactor was completed to improve ease of use, maintainability, and extensibility, restructuring the codebase to support future features and capabilities.

Major refactoring included:

  • implementation of code_factory, which generates Numba- and GPU-compatible data structures from Python class objects; and
  • reorganization of functions into a module-based architecture with well-defined interfaces.

GPU support is currently being updated to match the refactored architecture. The pre-refactor implementation, available in the cement branch, retains full GPU support. Complete GPU support for the refactored codebase (including both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs) is targeted for v0.15.0 or v0.16.0.

Added

Changed

Removed

The following features were temporarily removed during the refactor:

  • Domain decomposition
  • iQMC
  • UQ
  • Compressed sensing
  • Branchless collision
  • Derivative Source Method
  • Initial Condition bank

The pre-refactor implementation remains available in the cement branch as a reference for these features. They will be reintroduced incrementally in future releases.

Fixed

  • Multi-table distribution table selection sampling from @melekderman
