Release Notes for OpenMC 0.7.1
Release Notes for OpenMC 0.8.0
==============================
This release of OpenMC provides some substantial improvements over version
0.7.0. Non-simple cell regions can now be defined through the ``|`` (union) and
``~`` (complement) operators. Similar changes in the Python API also allow
complex cell regions to be defined. A true secondary particle bank now exists;
this is crucial for photon transport (to be added in the next minor release). A
rich API for multi-group cross section generation has been added via the
``openmc.mgxs`` Python module.
This release of OpenMC includes a few new major features including the
capability to perform neutron transport with multi-group cross section data as
well as experimental support for the windowed multipole method being developed
at MIT. Source sampling options have also been expanded significantly, with the
option to supply arbitrary tabular and discrete distributions for energy, angle,
and spatial coordinates.
Various improvements to tallies have also been made. It is now possible to
explicitly specify that a collision estimator be used in a tally. A new
``delayedgroup`` filter and ``delayed-nu-fission`` score allow a user to obtain
delayed fission neutron production rates filtered by delayed group. Finally, the
new ``inverse-velocity`` score may be useful for calculating kinetics
parameters.
The Python API has been significantly restructured in this release compared to
version 0.7.1. Any scripts written based on the version 0.7.1 API will likely
need to be rewritten. Some of the most visible changes include the following:
.. caution:: In previous versions, depending on how OpenMC was compiled binary
output was either given in HDF5 or a flat binary format. With this
version, all binary output is now HDF5 which means you **must**
have HDF5 in order to install OpenMC. Please consult the user's
guide for instructions on how to compile with HDF5.
- ``SettingsFile`` is now ``Settings``, ``MaterialsFile`` is now ``Materials``,
and ``TalliesFile`` is now ``Tallies``.
- The ``GeometryFile`` class no longer exists and is replaced by the
``Geometry`` class which now has an ``export_to_xml()`` method.
- Source distributions are defined using the ``Source`` class and assigned to
the ``Settings.source`` property.
- The ``Executor`` class no longer exists and is replaced by ``openmc.run()``
and ``openmc.plot_geometry()`` functions.
The Python API documentation has also been significantly expanded.

System Requirements
-------------------
There are no special requirements for running the OpenMC code. As of this
release, OpenMC has been tested on a variety of Linux distributions, Mac OS X,
and Microsoft Windows 7. Memory requirements will vary depending on the size of
the problem at hand (mostly on the number of nuclides in the problem).
