v0.4.0

Released on: 2021/12/02

New features:

• Allow EquivalentSources to define block-averaged sources through a new block_size argument (Soler2021). (#260)
• Add dtype argument to EquivalentSources. Allows to select the data type used to allocate the Jacobian matrix. (#278)
• Add a new EquivalentSourcesGB class that implements gradient-boosted equivalent sources. Provides a method to estimate the amount of computer memory needed to allocate the largest Jacobian matrix (Soler2021](https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggab297)). (#275)
• Allow tesseroid_gravity to compute gravitational fields of variable density tesseroids. Implements the density-based discretization algorithm and takes numba.njit decorated density functions as input (Soler2019). (#269)

Breaking changes:

• Rename point_mass_gravity to point_gravity. Having mass and gravity in the same function name is redundant. The function name has the same structure as other forward modelling functions (tesseroid_gravity and prism_gravity). The old point_mass_gravity will be deprecated on the next release. (#280)

Bug fixes:

• Fix bug with the require_numba pytest mark and rename it to run_only_with_numba for improved readability. (#273)

Documentation:

• Fix typo on EquivalentSources docstring: replace bloc_size with block_size. (#276)
• Minor improvements to the docs: fix bad references and links, replace Equivalent Layer for Equivalent Sources on API Index, fix bad RST syntax. (#274)

Maintenance:

• Rename the default branch: from master to main (#287)
• Replace pylint for flake8 extensions. Add isort for autoformatting imports. (#285)
• Replace conda for pip on GitHub Actions and split requirements files for each separate task. (#282)
• Make GitHub Actions to check if license notice is present in source files. (#277)
