Hello, i'm revisiting fipy after a several month hiatus.
previously i've used fipy trunk (~2.0a1) for some needed features. it looks like there's been an api chg, e.g., my prev. test cases vnlr.3.tar.gz (emailed ~28may08) still run correctly under STABLE, but (run &) give some incorrect results under current trunk. i'm trying to track down the chg (& refresh my old brain) via the docs, and assume the trunk is still more bleeding edge than release. but the website has some inconsistencies. also, i note also the website mentions that python 2.5 hasn't been tested yet, so maybe there are some other potential issues for me. in any case, if there is an alternate source for the latest docs (hopefully pdfs of manuals, as latex of trunk/documentation/ complains on my end, but incipient trunk release notes also of interest), could you let me know. (no rush, i'm offline for 2 weeks). thanks in advance, dean ------------------------------------- (1) on home page http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/ (Last updated: Wednesday, 05 November 2008 10:43:45 EST) Even if you don't read manuals... ..please read the Installation Guide and Chapter 6: "Frequently Asked Questions" of the Manual . (1a) "Manual" link on (1) above (http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/download/fipy.pdf) is dead. result is: Trac Error No handler matched request to /fipy.pdf . (1b) what's new is too new? v. 2.0a1 not 'STABLE' yet? (see (1c)). What's new in version 2.0a1 The significant changes since version 1.1 are: * --inline automatically generates C code from Variable expressions. * FiPy has been updated to use the Python NumPy module. FiPy no longer works with the older Numeric module. (1c) "Installation Guide" link in (1) above (http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/installation.html) has incorrect version / tag details for 'obtaining fipy'?: Last updated: Wednesday, 14 January 2009 15:22:57 EST Obtaining FiPy FiPy is freely available for download via Subversion or as a compressed archive . To obtain FiPy via anonymous Subversion, issue the following command: $ svn checkout http://matforge.org/svn/fipy/tags/CURRENT This will download a fairly stable version of FiPy (somewhere between version 2.0a1 and HEAD). If you prefer, you can download FiPy version 2.0a1 (recommended) with: $ svn checkout http://matforge.org/svn/fipy/tags/STABLE ## for me, ('HEAD' unknown): ###STABLE: $ svn info Path: .
