This release introduces an extensible particle architecture and fixes a bug in the particle advance that could cause crashes in earlier versions of Quokka.
Major changes
- Particles now obey a "particle CFL" timestepping restriction, which prevents them from escaping from the grids they lived on during the previous timestep. (See #912 by @chongchonghe.)
- Extensible particle architecture based on templated polymorphism by @chongchonghe in #891
- Particle creator and destructor by @chongchonghe in #896 and #927
Other changes
- set default max_timesteps to INT_MAX by @BenWibking in #876
- allow disabling energy check in Sedov problem by @BenWibking in #875
- add git hash to metadata output by @BenWibking in #888
- add Fields.yaml in particle plotfile/checkpoint by @chongchonghe in #935
- Compile-time particle switch with Bitwise Operations by @chongchonghe in #911
