This is a announcement thread about code changes that will break backward-compatibility. Also feel free to discuss anything here!

NOTICE about broken backward compatibilty for stardisk-dev version: please note that in accretion.f for R_TIDAL = 0.22*RACCR the model-dependent factor 0.22 has been TAKEN AWAY!! It means that the input parameter RACCR is now directly the tidal radius for the reference star (currently one solar mass). It means also if you want to compare an older run with a new run from now on, you need to change RACCR if you want to have same R_TIDAL.

For users:

• this change happens after commit bc6dbc6 in stardisk-dev branch.
• If you want to use the old version, after git clone; git switch stardisk-dev, do: git reset bc6dbc6

another broken backwards compatibility

• commit: 5539e77
• affected versions: all
• where: routine hrplot.F
• what: the output of RI in sev and bev files, radial position in the cluster, will be now in PC (multiplied by RBAR) rather than in units of core radii. At the same time also more output was added (tm: main sequence lifetime; mc, me, rc, re: core and envelope mass and radii). This is backward compatible, additional items were just added to the line.

A corresponsing update of the HDF5 output is still work in progress, not finished.
