SPLASH v2.10.0 released

[Daniel Price]

Dear SPLASH users,

I am pleased to announce the release of SPLASH v2.10.0. This is a major release — main new feature is much improved mass conservation in `splash to grid’ (by default) and column density rendering (when exact rendering is turned on) thanks to contributions from Maya Petkova.

Download it from: http://users.monash.edu.au/~dprice/splash/download.html
Or if you have a git copy: cd splash; git pull; make withgiza SYSTEM=gfortran

New features are:

* much improved splash to grid - bug fixes with pixel number and roundoff error
* use Petkova (2018) method for sub-pixel rendering to 3D grid and 3D projections
* added bytestream output formats for splash to grid and splash to ascii
* can press number and -/+ to zoom out/in by that factor in interactive mode
* use SPLASH_COROTATE=1,3 to corotate with arbitrary pair of sink particles
* SPLASH_COROTATE also sets velocity field in corotating frame
* splash to ascii can write particular columns by setting SPLASH_CONVERT=1,4
* plasma beta correct in both code and physical units
* working fits image reader (splash-fits) and splash-denoise utility
* various minor changes and bug fixes

Happy splash-ing,

Daniel
