----------------------------
We are pleased to announce the release of Version 2.5 of the Enzo
code. This is a periodic release that includes all changes committed
to the Enzo BitBucket repository since August 2014. This release
contains some new features and a number of enhancements and bugfixes.
New features include: support for Version 2.0 of the Grackle chemistry
and cooling library; refinement by Must Refine particles and metal
mass; cosmic ray pressure, diffusiong and injection for the ZEUS
solver; Kinetic stellar feedback; power-of-two memory allocation to
decrease fragmentation; and many new problem types.
There have been a number of enhancements to the hydro, MHD, radiation
transport, and star particle routines, and a variety of performance
enhancements to the same set of packages.
There have also been a number of significant bugfixes, including
several that may increase the stability and efficiency of production
multi-physics simulations.
We urge all users to update to the latest version if they are using
Enzo 2.4 or earlier. While one can obtain the release by downloading a
tar file, we strong encourage all users to use enzo from a clone of
the mercurial repository, which will facilitate reproducible work with
the code.
For the release notes and changelog, see
the root directory of the enzo-dev repository.
On behalf of the Enzo collaboration,
Brian O'Shea
