Bugfix release

• tests are now in the amuse namespace
• defaults for reading hdf files have changed

13.1

This release introduces the following changes:

• Interface names are now standardised. You can import each community code as from amuse.community.{codename}.interface import {Codename}, where {Codename} is now always available in Titlecase. The interface name is always available under the same name as the module. This is in addition to previous names, which will continue to exist and are not being deprecated. E.g.: ph4, BHTree and SimpleX are now also available as Ph4, Bhtree and Simplex, respectively.
• The behaviour of code parameters has changed: setting non-existing parameters now generates an exception. Scripts that relied on the previous behaviour (ignoring parameters that are unknown to the code) should be changed to handle the excpetion.
• new unit kyr (=1000 yr)
• updates to the documentation/tutorial
• all codes with c++ bindings MPI have them replaced
• updates on Seba code
• various fixes to codes
• various python 3 fixes

AMUSE 13

The main change in this version compared to version 12 is that AMUSE is now using Python 3 natively, and cannot be used with Python 2 any more*. Since Python 2.7 will no longer be supported or updated from the end of this year, we highly recommend everyone to switch to Python 3 if you have not yet done so. Converting your own scripts is usually a trivial task using the 2to3 tool**.

*: For those of you who absolutely need Python 2, AMUSE 12 is still available and will receive essential updates for a while.
