Parcels v1.0 build on the previous v0.9 release. Major changes since then:

  • Support for many more types of Grids, including curvilinear (horizontal) and s-grids (vertical) (#262)
  • Added a Brownian diffusion kernel. More diffusion kernels to come in future versions (#269)
  • Easier API for repeated particle release (#261)
  • Support for Fields with different Grids in one FieldSet (#241)
  • Support on Windows OS (#236) and easier install on macOS and Linux (#228)
  • Many bugfixes and tweaks

Future work now will focus on efficiency and parallelisation of Parcels. Thanks to all who contributed to this version 1.0!
