Parcels v1.0.4: a Lagrangian Ocean Analysis tool for the petascale age

Parcels v1.0.4 builds on the previous v1.0.3 release. Major changes since then

• Support for FieldLists (#393), which allows Kernels like AdvectionRK4 to work on multiple Fields at once. See also the tutorial
• Changing the plotting routines from Basemap to cartopy (#401). Note that this means you will need to uninstall Basemap and install cartopy, as they are conflicting
• Interpolation of velocities on C-grids. This also means that the angle file is not needed anymore in FieldSet.from_nemo() (#394)
• Much smaller output files by controlling the NetCDF chunk size (#366)
• Displaying a Progressbar for long (> 10 seconds) runs of ParticleSet.execute() (#381 and #418)
• Possibility to initialise custom Variables directly in ParticleSet.from_list() (#397)
• Numerous bug fixes

As always, please let us know if anything isn't working as expected.

Note that this release has some installation issues, so should not be used. Use v1.0.5 instead
