Release v3.4.0

[steven-murray]

v3.4.0

Performance

• When reading in data from cache, only read the necessary fields.

Deprecations

• Python <3.9 is no longer supported.

Fixed

• Fixed small issue in Lightcone.lightcone_coords.
• Bug when setting NON_CUBIC_FACTOR != 1.
• Using new matplotlib versions and registering cmap.
• Small bug in lightcone interpolation.

Added

• New Lightconer base class with user-facing classes RectilinearLightconer and AngularLightconer. These are now the recommended way to define how lightcones should be created. Note that these are not the final lightcone object, but simply a "definition" for how to create the lightcone.
• The Lightcone class still exists, but is now joined by an AngularLightcone class that is the output lightcone when using the AngularLightconer definition.
• New KEEP_3D_VELOCITIES user-param. This is required to be True if you want to apply RSDs to an AngularLightcone.
• Ability to check-point lightcone creation, so that it can be resumed later. Simply pass the lightcone_fname argument to run_lightcone.
• New cache_tools.get_boxes_at_redshift function to get all boxes at a given redshift, regardless of the parameters used to create them.
• New CosmoParams.from_astropy() classmethod for constructing a cosmo params object directly from an astropy cosmology.

Internals

• Refactored RSDs to the subcell_rsds.c C-module.
• Added CI testing of the docs tutorials.
• More precise debugging summaries of boxes in the C code.

Fixed

• Incorrect sign on adiabatic fluctuations.
• Spurious warnings about boxes being read.
• Spurious warnings about configuration files being out of date.
• Compilation for clang and newer gcc versions.
