- A lot of new tests were added, including crossing beams, stromgren2D, RT dirac, Ponomarenko by @matthiasglz, restart and improved SOD test by @nbrucy, refinement test by @bcommerc, clumpfinfer, star formation and SN feedback tests by @pocvirk, cosmo amr and 1D advection tests by @tinecolman, and movie and chemistry tests by @jokirosdahl. This is the results of the SNO’s test working group.
- The code quality was improved (by @tinecolman and @mtrebitsch). The biggest changes are in how the parameters are read.
