BornAgain-1.18.0, released 2020.10.30
> API changes:
1) Shorter names for FootprintSquare, FootprintGauss
2) FormFactorHollowSphere (moved from soft to hard particles, and renamed)
3) FormFactorGaussSphere is now a sphere, not an ellipsoid
4) Withdraw three unused, undocumented, incomplete soft-particle form factors
(Lorentz, Debye-Bueche, Ornstein-Zernike)
5) Removed default argument values from node constructors
6) Swap order of arguments gamma and eta in 2D decay and distribution Voigt functions
7) FormFactorSphereLogNormalRadius is now positioned at center, not at bottom
8) Ripple1 and Ripple2 form factors renamed to CosineRipple and SawtoothRipple
9) Support for structural roughness (Tanh + Névot-Croce) in polarized computations
> Important changes in examples and tests:
1) Renamed "Air" -> "Vacuum"
> Changes in build configuration:
1) Python2 no longer supported
2) OpenGL can no longer be deselected
3) Eigen3 and libcerf removed from ThirdParty; they are now regular external dependences
> Internal refactoring and fixes of unreported bugs
1) Unit tests now under CTest control, no longer enforced during compilation
2) Uniform handling of assertions
3) Success of test_nonXMLDataInDir was dependent on test execution order
4) Parameter registration now centralized in INode class
5) New, and more stable, implementation of polarized Fresnel computation
6) Scalar Fresnel computation unified with polarized implementation
7) Directory Core broken into a hierarchy: Core, Device, Sample, Param, Base
8) Request C++17
9) Error handling: core decoupled from Qt
> Issues from external (GitHub) tracker:
* #918: Specular peak location wrong when using flat detector
