Cantera 2.5.0b1

The Cantera development team is pleased to announce the general availability of the first beta for the next release of Cantera, v2.5.0. There have been almost 900 commits to Cantera since the last version, 2.4.0, which was released in August 2018. We have closed or merged more than 200 pull requests and 100 issues. The complete list of changes can be found on the Cantera Wiki page: https://github.com/Cantera/cantera/wiki/Complete-git-log-since-2.4.0

Cantera 2.5.0 introduces a new input file format, based on the YAML data format. This format will eventually replace the CTI and XML (sometimes called CTML) formats that Cantera has used for many years. Converter scripts from CTI and XML to YAML, as well as from CHEMKIN (CK) format to YAML, are provided with this release:

  • ctml2yaml
  • cti2yaml
  • ck2yaml

You can use these scripts in the same way that the old ck2cti script was used. All users are encouraged to switch their input files to the new format.
