Nbody Lite v1.85.0

Nbody Lite release with 1.85 backend. Marginally different from v1.84.3, but helps with versioning.

Nbody v1.85

Version control for non-end-user release. Not sent out to volunteers, but used for in-house versioning. Main change is autodiff revert.

Nbody Lite v1.84.3

Fixed bug where non-LMC runs wouldn't work

Nbody Lite v1.84.2

Fixed LMC and multi-output, and pulled from master commits. Everything should be working as intended now.

Nbody Lite v1.84.1

Updates to Nbody Lite. Still running v1.84 backend, but fixed multi output errors and some other small tweaks.

Nbody Lite v1.84.0

Nbody Lite updated to the new v1.84 backend code

Nbody v1.84

A massive overhaul of the Nbody code. Now supports Automatic Differentiation (AUTODIFF) for easier error analysis as a CMake build option. Also adds more algorithmic options to the for_developers file:

• Option to use old softening length formula used in v1.76 and earlier versions
• Can modify the distance between the Sun and Galactic Center (8.0 kpc typically)
• Non-Discrete binning option available for histogram generation (needed for AUTODIFF)
• Ability to switch between Left and Right Handed Galactic Cartesian systems

nbody_lite_v1.80.2

THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE A STABLE RELEASE

Includes the updates to the coulomb logarithm used in computing dynamical friction. The runtime will complain about hot having the makeHistogram function - just ignore that.
