+```
+
+!!! warning
+    Previous iterations of the interface suggested using `sol.retcode == :Success`, 
+    however, that is now not advised because there are more than one return code that can be interpreted
+    as successful. For example, `Terminated` is a successful run to a manual termination, and would be missed
+    if only checking for Success. Therefore we highly recommend you use `SciMLBase.successful_retcode(sol)` instead.

+The return codes include are accessed via the ReturnCode module, i.e. `SciMLBase.ReturnCode.Success`. The
