Hello all, I dug up the old meeting minutes from when LORENE2 was first introduced (from 2016):
http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2016-October/005020.html basically we introduced LORENE2 to indicate the breaking change and left LORENE as the default version in the thornlist. At the very least we should be able to update LORENE2 to the current version (assuming no more breaking changes in between) and, if we want to deprecate LORENE1 and remove, possibly only in the release after the next one, switch defaults. The issue is that one cannot compile both thorns at the same time so switching from LORENE1 to LORENE2 will break existing parfiles (for example the gallery example). Making LORENE2 the default was a decision reached in the ET call on 2018-03-12: http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-March/006122.html where it says: --8<-- updating LORENE: * make LORENE2 the default after verifying that everything compiles and that gallery example works with LORENE2 * check that BBH ID from Meudon group can still be read * create ticket for this * get this done within a month --8<-- and from future minutes, nothing seems to have happened though in http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-October/006610.html it says --8<-- * update ET to LORENE2 ** need to check that files can still be read ** old ticket stated that there would be an abort for some files writen by old an read by new LORENE or vice versa --8<-- and http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-November/006634.html says --8<-- LORENE2: * switch thornlist to have LORENE2 as the default --8<-- and http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-November/006661.html --8<-- tasks for next Einstein Toolkit relelase trac listing: ** LORENE2, should be enable in thornlist to compile, Zac wanted to provide a small data set to load it --8<-- and the same note in http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-November/006667.html However in 2018-02-03 an issue was raised by Zach http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-December/006679.html --8<-- WVUThorns: * Zach reported. He has a small-ish but not well understood LORENE2 initial data from his collaborator, has permissions to use it. * Working with Josh Faber (RIT) who is using LORENE2 for binary NS mergers, will have another small initial data set from him. * Discussion of a possible problem in LORENE2, a bug, that may make it incorrect. In the translation from French to English a subroutine was not translated. Also the LORENE1 initial data may not be useful in LORENE2. * Because of this Zach and Steve recommend proceeding with caution. Last week the conclusion had been to replace LORENE1 with LORENE2...now not recommended until this is understood/explored further. --8<-- this http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2018-December/006691.html provides --8<-- LORENE: * Josh reported on bugs existing in the English named classes in LORENE in the newer part of the codebase that do not yet exist in the French named classed * Josh expects to send bug fixes back to LORENE but will take a while to track them down * not sure if the ET's LORENE1 already has these bugs present that exist in LORENE2 --8<-- after which there is no more updates.
