<usersguide_depletion>`, photon transport, and support for CAD geometries
through DAGMC. In addition, the core codebase has been rewritten in C++14 (it
was previously written in Fortran 2008). This makes compiling the code
cosiderably simpler as no Fortran compiler is needed.

Functional expansion tallies are now supported through several new tally filters
that can be arbitrarily combined:

New Features
------------
- Support for rectilinear meshes through :class:`openmc.RectilinearMesh`.
- The :class:`Geometry`, :class:`Materials`, and :class:`Settings` classes now
have a ``from_xml`` method that will build an instance from an existing XML
file.

- The :mod:`openmc.data` module now supports reading and sampling from ENDF File
32 resonance covariance data (`PR 1024
<https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc/pull/1024>`_).
- Several new convenience functions/methods have been added:
- The :func:`openmc.model.cylinder_from_points` function creates a cylinder
given two points passing through its center and a radius.
- The :meth:`openmc.Plane.from_points` function creates a plane given three
points that pass through it.
- The :func:`openmc.model.pin` function creates a pin cell universe given a
sequence of radii and materials.
------------------
Python API Changes
------------------
- All surface classes now have coefficient arguments given as lowercase names.
- The order of arguments in surface classes has been changed so that
coefficients are the first arguments (rather than the optional surface ID).
This means you can now write::
x = openmc.XPlane(5.0, 'reflective')
zc = openmc.ZCylinder(0., 0., 10.)
- The ``Mesh`` class has been renamed :class:`openmc.RegularMesh`.
- The ``get_rectangular_prism`` function has been renamed
:func:`openmc.model.rectangular_prism`.
- The ``get_hexagonal_prism`` function has been renamed
:func:`openmc.model.hexagonal_prism`.
