PyECLOUD Version 6.1.0

New features (thanks Philipp!):

• Boris tracking for a magnetic multipole
• Improved testing

PyECLOUD Version 6.0.0

New feature:

• Introduced PyEC4PyHT_fastion module for the simulation of fast beam-ion instabilities (thanks Lotta!).

PyECLOUD Version 5.5.3

• s paramter of secondary emission curve exposed in the input

PyECLOUD Version 5.5.2

• Check for minimal MP size introduced also in soft regeneration

PyECLOUD Version 5.5.1

Added consistency check in photoemission module (thanks Philipp!)

PyECLOUD Version 5.5.0

New features in buildup simulations:

• Beam field can be calculated and interpolated using a PyPIC state (available with PyPIC v. 2.1.0)
• Analytic distribution for rigid beam is not sampled anymore but averaged (analytically) over a cell size (necessary when beam smaller than cell)

Moreover, a few changes to avoid deprecation errors appearing in Python 2.7.11.

PyECLOUD version 5.4.1

• Changed default case in the buildup example

PyECLOUD Version 5.4.0

New feature in PyEC4PyHT: recorded pinch can replace e-cloud object in slice by slice mode.

PyECLOUD Version 5.3.0

New feature: PyPIC multigrid module (available for PyPIC 2.0.0) can be used in PyECLOUD

PyECLOUD Version 5.2.0

New feature: electric field probes in PyEC4PyHT (thanks Annalisa!)
