What's new in PyTOUGH?

The latest stable version is 1.6.2, which has:

• a new mulgrid naming convention 3, with 3 characters for columns and 2 characters for layers

• the mulgrid column_track() method has been re-written with a different algorithm, enabling it (and the slice_plot() method) to handle non-contiguous slices, e.g. if the slice passes out of the mesh and back in
