Pull requests merged
====================

A total of 12 pull requests were merged for this release.

* #231: Transmitting pbc to ASE
* #246: Method to calculate grid isosurfaces
* #253: Geometry._sanitize_atoms did not accept generic categories
* #254: f-string was not printing variable value due to missing f
* #255: Make parent categories callable and avoid their instantiation
* #258: Making coordinate categories more accessible
* #263: Supporting the creation of Binder docker images
* #267: bug: skewed isosurfaces were not properly calculated
* #270: Fixed reading geometries in .AXSF-files
* #277: maint: remove ending blank line when writing xyz-files
* #298: All plotly tests passing now
* #300: Make plotly docs work

* **Major addition**: plotly backend for plotting and interaction with
  output. This is still a work in progress made by Pol Febrer.
  Many thanks to @pfebrer!

* Added unzip argument to BZ.apply methods to unzip multiple
  return values, also added documentation to reflect this

* Fixed reading data-arrays from Siesta-PDOS files

* Enabled minimization method for basis information and pseudo generation

* Enabled plotting grids using the command-line

* Bug in how non-colinear matrices are dealt with, now fixed
  Thanks to Xe Hu for discovering this.

* Allowed reading the geometry for supercell HSX files
  Atomic coordinates and nsc are determined from xij arrays

* Basic implementation of Hermitian construct.
  It now ensures a correct Hermitian matrix for simple cases

* Added more return from close/within, supercell offsets
  may be queried (ret_isc)

* Added more transposing functionality for spin matrices

* Fixed wfsxSileSiesta returning proper k-points if a geometry
  is passed (i.e. reduced k-points). Otherwise warns users

* Huge performance increase for finalizing very large structures

* Fixed writing %block in fdf files

* Enabled reading Fermi level from VASP DOSCAR files

* Cleaned siesta and VASP reading of completed jobs, #287

* added Geometry.new allowing easy type-lookups to convert to Geometry
  e.g. Geometry.new("RUN.fdf") and Geometry.new(ase_atoms) automatically
  figures out which method to call and how to interpret the objects.
  added Geometry.to allowing easy type-lookups to convert to other objects
  #282

* enabled calculating supercell matrices with phases, format=sc:<format>
  returns in supercell matrix form (no, no_s)

* removed support for int and long as matrix types, only float/complex

* Enabled `sgrid` to write tables of data

* Merged spin_orbital_moment(deleted) and spin_moment with
  optional argument project

* Enabled orbital resolved velocities

* Added outSileSiesta.read_energy to read final energies in a property-dict
  (works both as a property (`energy.fermi`) and a dictionary (`energy["fermi"]`)

* Ensured ghost atoms in Siesta are handled with separate
  class, AtomGhost, #249

* Using `si.RealspaceSI` with `unfold=(1,1,1)` no longer results in `nsc` on
    the given surface hamiltonian being set to `(1,1,1)`.

* Added calculation of isosurfaces, #246

* Added `sisl.WideBandSE` for self-energies with constant
  diagonals

* Enabled more user control over categories, #242

* Improved interpolation function for Grid's, and also
  added filters

* Bugfix for periodic directions for ASE conversion, #231

* Fixed tuples for `_sanitize_atoms`, #233

* Fixed reading correct unit from deltanc files, #234

* Enabled berry-phase calculations for NC+SOC, #235

* Added tiling to Grid, #238

* Added Atoms.group_data which nicely splits an array holding
  orbital information into atomic contributions (a list since
  each sub-list may be unequal in length)

* Many small bug-fixes and performance improvements
