- Remove plasmapy.constants, which was a thin wrapper around astropy.constants with no added value (#651)
- Generalize ion_sound_speed function to work for all values of k2λD2 (i.e. not just in the non-dispersive limit). (#700)
- Optimize add__magnetostatics for a 16x speedup in tests! (#703)
- Define preserve_signature decorator to help IDEs parse signatures of decorated functions. (#640)
- Fix Pytest deprecations of message argument to raise and warn functions. (#666)

- Add examples images to the top of the main doc page in docsindex.rst (#655)
- Added exampes to the documentation to mass_density
and Hall_parameter functions (#709)
- Add docstrings to decorator
plasmapy.utils.decorators.converter.angular_freq_to_hz
. (#729)
- Replace decorator
plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.check_quantity
with decoratorplasmapy.utils.decorators.validators.validate_quantities
. Permanently delete decorator~plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.check_quantity
and its supporting code. For functionsplasmapy.formulary.quantum.chemical_potential
andplasmapy.formulary.quantum._chemical_potential_interp
, add a RaiseNotImplementedError due to bug outlined in issue #726. Associated pytests are marked with pytest.mark.xfails and doctests are marked with doctests: +SKIP. (#722) - Add Towncrier automated changelog creation support (#643)
- Move existing "check" decorators to new
plasmapy.utils.decorators
module (#647) - Allow running our sphinx-gallery examples as Jupyter notebooks via Binder (#656)
- Overhaul CI setup, following the example of SunPy (#657)
- Patch sphinx_gallery.binder to output custom links to Binder instance (#658)
- Remove the now unnecessary astropy_helpers submodule (#663)
- Followup PR to CI overhaul (#664)

- Code style fixes to the atomic subpackage (#716)
- Clean up main package namespace, removing plasmapy.test (#718)
- Reduce precision of tests and doctests to allow for refinements of fundamental constants. (#731)
- Create decorators for checking/validating values and units of function/method input and return arguments. Defined decorators include
~plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.check_values
,~plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.check_units

. These decorators are fully defined by "decorator classes"~plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.CheckBase
,~plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.CheckValues
,~plasmapy.utils.decorators.checks.CheckUnits
, and~plasmapy.utils.decorators.validators.ValidateQuantities
. (#648) - Create a decorator to change output of physics functions from "radians/s" to "hz" (#667)
- Added pytest.mark.slow to pytest markers. Updated documentation to notify developers of functionality. (#677)
