Xcoll release 0.3.2

What's Changed

• Important bugfix: s-coordinate was not updating correctly in Everest
• Another small bugfix that was overwritten by the merge to v0.3.0: dumping the lossmap to json needs xobjects.JEncoder
• Bugfix to make BlackAbsorber work on GPU (fflush can only be used on CPU_serial)

Develop Updates

• Some small preparations to be able to use prebuilt kernels (will be available once PRs xsuite/xobjects#127, xsuite/xtrack#448, and xsuite/xpart#104 are implemented)
• Moved only_mcs to GeneralMaterial
• Changed the material setter in the Everest elements from a per-particle kernel to a regular kernel

Full Changelog: v0.3.1...v0.3.2

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.3.1

Xcoll release 0.3.0

What's Changed

• New class: RFSweep to perform off-momentum loss maps; was in manager.py before (examples/rf_sweep.py and examples/lhc_run3_offmomentum_lossmap.py)
• Added a function in colldb.py (write_to_yaml) to by @bjlindst in #40
• New Everest element: EverestBlock by @freddieknets in #46 (examples/everest_block.py and examples/transfer_line_with_air.py)
• API of EverestCrystal changed slightly: the field bend is replaced by bending_radius. Furthermore, the field bending_angle can be used instead.
• Possibility to add weights to particles to rescale the lossmap afterwards

Develop Updates

• install_protection_hook.sh: run this bash script to install hooks to your local xcoll repository that will halt commits that contain changes in protected files (like version.sh)
• InvalidCollimator has been renamed into InvalidXcoll
• The lost particle state codes have been reshuffled to make room for XC_LOST_ON_EVEREST_BLOCK
• Internal workings of the Everest code have been updated (using a struct EverestData): this is the first step towards a full rewrite.
• Multiple coulomb scattering inside Everest has been updated: correcting for edge effects is optional (because not needed for EverestBlock)
• First steps towards impact registration have been made: table is linked correctly, but not yet implemented inside Everest.
• Bugfix in the jaw field
• Update manager.py by @phermes in #34

New Contributors

• @phermes made their first contribution in #34
• @bjlindst made their first contribution in #40
