lenstronomy release 1.12.0

[Simon Birrer]

Dear lenstronomy community,

 

We are happy to announce lenstronomy version 1.12.0 - a major release.

You can see the release notes here: https://github.com/lenstronomy/lenstronomy/releases/tag/v1.12.0

 

This is a major release as some lens model profiles got renamed for more consistent namings - which make this release not fully backwards compatible. You can find the new and old naming conventions here: https://github.com/lenstronomy/lenstronomy/pull/630

 

This release brings SIX new contributors. Michael Martinez, Alex Landry, Jocelyn McMahon, Hadrien Paugnat, Alex Kurek and Xincheng Zhu - thank you very much!

If you encounter issues, please let us know!

 

Lenstronomy core developers

Anowar Shajib, Daniel Gilman, Simon Birrer
