Notable changes in this release include a code reorganization into subdirectories, hydro robustness updates in the presence of source terms, piecewise power-law opacity models for multigroup radiation, additional ISM physics in the radiation solver, support for unit systems (with metadata included in output files), and enforcement of a minimum version of the AMD ROCm toolkit (to avoid compiler bugs).
Known issues
- Self-gravitating particles may traverse more than one cell per timestep, which can cause crashes (see #833). This will be fixed in a future release of Quokka.
