Pathway to v1.0

BG-Flood is nearing a major milestone.

New major features

• Add Buttinger et al. reconstruction with HLLC engine and wet slope limiter
• Add Block average scheme elevation and roughness when block dx > forcing dx
• Add Polygon domain for improved memory requirement
• Allow Sub-region output to only output a smaller area than the full domain and save some HD space
• Full implementation of adaptive grid
• Initial and continuing loss
• Spherical (lat lon) coordinates
• Improve documentation and tutorials

New minor feature

• Rain-on-grid internal test
• Multiple Bathy file input
• Revamped tests
• Force initial dt for dry models to be small enough wrt forcing
• Crash detection (for tiny dt)
• Flag to select Kurganov vs Buttinger engine
• Internal test for boundaries
• Continuous integration with internal tests on CPU and GPU
• Param file as an input to exec
• Auto-copy of code to gitlab
• Code optimization
• Add NetCDF CRS and time metadata to output
• Add param settings to NetCDF (metadata?)
• Handle input forcing where dx != dy

minor Changes

• General code cleanup and reduce compile-time warnings
• Add Jupyter (Python) and Pluto (Julia) tutorial notebooks in demo
• Add active cell to limit rain to within specify domain
• Check/verify/Fix initial time step sanity
• Fix wet/dry instabilities
• Improve/fix absorbing bnds
• Add tutorial/docs for tsunami initiation
• Add tutorial/docs for wind/atmpress forcing
• Add speed benchmark to compare with other codes (Tuflow benchmark?)
• Rain depth forcing option (rain intensity is default)
• Read time stamp from Netcdf and param file
• Add user defined log file name
• Fix nesting capability

Major Fix

• Bug fix for refine linear function
• Full rewrite of gradient calculation to be in line with refine linear
• Fix hotstart to use new variable name
• Fix Timeseries Output
• Fix compiling issues with older GCC
• Fix rain map input

Minor Fix

• Fix crash when specified river is outside the model domain (4a2513c)
• Fix round-off error with small domain
• Fix round-off error for bathy interpolation
• Fix river footprint when the input discharge area is smaller than block resolution
• Fix resetmax
• Fix deform input
• Fix atm pressure forcing engine
• Fix absorbing bnd issues with wet/dry
