Release v1.5
Release version 1.5
Target
The target of version 1.5 is the radiative transfer. This includes a more sophisticated radiative transfer for pure absorption (i.e. the intensity-based scheme, petitRadtrans like one), with scattering, reflection lights (flux-adding scheme based on Robinson and Crisp (2018), LART), more test and improvements of transmission (incl. bug fix), and so on.
Feature List
Radiative Transfer
Important: the default RT scheme has been the intensity-based scheme w/ 8 streams (ibased), in ArtEmisPure for instance, since version 1.5 (more accurate and faster than the flux based, fbased, see #475, #457 ). This may change the result slightly because of the difference of the RT scheme.
