  • #174: Enhancing the siesta outSile

  • #180: Fixed some bugs in the out sile

  • #197: WIP: improved Geometry.sort, for #191

  • #210: Added __repr__ to some common classes

  • #211: Cleaned setup.py and removed shipped sources

  • #212: Moved a parenthesis that went unnoticed during pathlib conversion

  • #215: ENH: added first Dispatcher method

  • #226: ufunc on SparseCSR and derived types

  • Exposing sisl_toolbox as a module for external contributions Now stuff contributed from 3rd parties can easily be included in a toolbox which is a separate module.

  • Changed asarray (as*) methods for SparseGeometry Now we have a dispatch class which enables one to store the behaviour as variables and then post-process

  • Using *.geom or geometry.atom is now deprecated, use *.geometry and geometry.atoms instead (respectively)

  • Added spin-rotation for density matrices, this will enable sisl to manipulate DM and write them for Siesta calculations

  • Enabled all numpy.ufuncs (np.exp(H))

  • Added nanoribbons construction (@tfrederiksen)

  • Internal change to pathlib for files and paths

  • Added velocity calculations for NC+SOC Hamiltonians

  • Sparse pattern transposes of non-full matrices, fixed bug

  • Changed Geometry.sort to be more diverse (this may break old code) This new way of sorting is way more flexible and allows very fine control, fixes #191, #197

  • Added a bilayer geometry which can create twisted bilayers #181, #186

  • Enabled VASP *CAR files to write/read dynamic specifications #185

  • Enabled xarray.DataArray returning from BrillouinZone objects #182

  • Several improvements to outSileSiesta.read_scf #174, #180

  • A huge performance increase for data extraction in tbtncSileTbtrans (thanks to Gaetano Calogero for finding the bottleneck)

  • Added preliminary usage of Mixers, primarily intented for extending sisl operations where SCF are used (may heavily change).

  • Lots of small bug-fixes

  • Now sisl is Python >=3.6 only, #162
