libcasimir 0.4.2 released

This is a minor release. The build system has been changed to cmake and the README contains now some badges.

libcasimir 0.4.1 released

This is a minor release that mainly provides updates to the current versions of eigen and HODLRlib.

libcasimir 0.4 released

This release contains a lot of bug fixes and new features. Also, the documentation of the API has been improved and a user manual has been added.

Here is a list of the most important changes:

• Support for different dielectric functions on sphere and plate
• Performance improvements and many bugfixes
• Extended and improved documentation
• New user manual
• Improved computation of Bessel functions
• Added many tests
• Added examples to show how to use the library
• Experimental support for Fourier-Chebshev quadrature
• Experimental support for Pade Spectrum Decomposition (PSD)
• Update of HODLR and libeigen to latest version
• C++ support
• new program to compute cylinder-plate geometry for PR at T=0

libcasimir 0.3 released

This release contains a lot of bug fixes and improvements. The most important improvements are:

• Support of generic functions described by a dielectric function.
• Support for hierarchically off-diagonal matriced (HODLR) which significantly speeds up computation.
• Computation of Associated Legendre functions using a combination of a O(1) algorithm to compute Legendre polynomials and a recurrence in m.

This version was used to compute the data for "Plasma vs Drude modelling of the Casimir force: beyond the proximity force approximation.

libcasimir 0.2 released

This release contains a lot of bug fixes and improvements. Also, there are first steps in order to support general reflectors. Moreover, the documentation has been improved and typos and misprints in the thesis have been fixed.

Initial release

29th February 2016: libcasimir 0.1 released

This is the initial release of libcasimir. This version supports stable and fast calculation of the free energy. This release supports perfect reflectors, support for Drude metals is still experimental.
