#ThisMonthInFluiddyn - Mar 2024 edition

Happy Easter folks 🐣! We are dropping this a little late.

🔹#FluidImage v0.4.3 is out. Versions 0.4.x contains API changes and new features like a new executor to support Windows, and reworked logs with #Rich progress bars.

🔹#Transonic v0.6.4 is a bug fix release which works around a #Pythran compilation problem on Windows (in terminals other than Mingw). Related release of #FluidSim and #FluidFFT are out.

#ThisMonthInFluiddyn - Feb 2024 edition

A big one, where many #FluidDyn packages starts rolling on wheels 🚗 🏁 !

🔹FluidFFT, your user-friendly parallelized FFT package, is now so easy to install! Try:

pip install fluidfft pyfftw

🔹The #Pythran extensions comes pre-compiled!

🔹FluidFFT v0.4.x has plugins now (one each for different MPI enabled Cython backends: FFTW, P3DFFT, PFFT ...) which requires #Cython compilation. This used to be part of FluidFFT in older versions.

#ThisMonthInFluiddyn - Jan 2024 edition

Plenty on the packaging front this time.

🔹Ported to #pdm as packaging tool for most of our projects.

🔹Trying out #pixi as an alternative to #conda / #mamba. Lock files are great, but we had some hiccups.

🔹#transonic has implemented an experimental support for #meson and #MesonPython. Unreleased and nothing final yet, but tests on #fluidsim and discussion at #Pythran is ongoing.
