This release adds several new functions to <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.formulary</code>, aliases (with trailing underscores) for the most commonly used formulary functions, classes to represent custom and dimensionless particles, and a new module in <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.diagnostics</code> for Thomson scattering. The <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.atomic</code> subpackage was renamed to <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.particles</code> as part of an ongoing plan to reorganize PlasmaPy's subpackage structure.</p> <p>In order to install PlasmaPy, please refer to the <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.plasmapy.org/en/stable/install.html">installation instructions</a> on <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.plasmapy.org/">PlasmaPy's documentation page</a>.</p>plasmapyreleasehttps://www.plasmapy.org/posts/plasmapy-v0_4_0-release/Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:00:00 GMThttps://www.plasmapy.org/posts/plasmapy-v031-release/Nick Murphy<p>We are excited to announce the release of <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.plasmapy.org/en/stable/about/release_notes.html#version-0-3-1">PlasmaPy version 0.3.1</a>. This release includes two new subpackages: <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.formulary</code>, which consolidates much of the functionality that was formerly in <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.physics</code>, <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.mathematics</code>, and <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.transport</code>; and <code class="docutils literal">plasmapy.simulation</code>, which contains our particle tracker and will be the place to consolidate tools related to plasma simulations. These changes are part of an ongoing plan to reorganize PlasmaPy's subpackage structure that will continue in version 0.4.
