• Geometry.find_nsc, alternate method for calculating nsc with more options

• sisl._debug_info for more complete debug information

• axes argument added to derivative to only calculate on a subset
  of directions (can greatly improve performance for some systems)

• operator argument added to derivative to apply an operator
  to dHk and dSk matrices.
  of directions (can greatly improve performance for some systems)

• added apply_kwargs to methods which uses a BrillouinZone object.
  This enables one to leverage parallel processing for calculations.

• SISL_PAR_CHUNKSIZE=25, new default parameter for parallel processing.

• better error messages when users request quantities not calculated by Siesta/TBtrans

• functional programming of the basic sisl classes
  Now many of the `Geometry|Lattice|Grid.* manipulation routines which
  returns new objects, are subjected to dispatch methods.
  E.g.

  sisl.tile(geometry, 2, axis=1)
  geometry.tile(2, axis=1)
  

  will call the same method. The first uses a dispatch method, and a SislError
  will be raised if the dispatch argument is not implemented.

• SparseCSR.toarray to comply with array handling (equivalent to todense)

• enabled Grid.to|new with the most basic stuff
  str|Path|Grid|pyamg

• Shape.translate, to easily translate entire shape constructs, #655

• Creation of chiral GNRs (kind=chiral in sisl.geom.nanoribbon/sisl.geom.graphene_nanoribbon
  as well as sisl.geom.cgnr)

• Creation of [n]-triangulenes (sisl.geom.triangulene)

  deprecation warnings.
• pdosSileSiesta plotting produced wrong spin components for NC/SOC
• tqdm changed API in 2019, eta=True in Notebooks should now work
• SparseCSR ufunc handling, in some corner cases could the dtype casting do things
  wrongly.

  sisl.geom.graphene_flake). #636
• added Geometry.as_supercell to create the supercell structure,
  thanks to @pfebrer for the suggestion

  as Geometry, added Lattice.to["Cuboid"]
• added Atom.to, currently only to.Sphere()
• enabled Geometry.to|new.Sile(...)
• added logging in some modules, to be added in more stuff to allow easier
  debugging.
• marked all toSphere|toEllipsoid|... as deprecated
• a simple extensionable method to add Sile.info.<attr> by exposing
  attributes through an object on each class.
  The info_attributes contains a list of attributes that can be
  discovered while reading ascii files see #509

Fixed

• fixed cases where Geometry.close would not catch all neighbours, #633

Changed

• sisl now enforces the black style
• Lattice now holds the boundary conditions (not Grid), see #626
• Some siles exposed certain properties containing basic information
  about the content, say number of atoms/orbitals etc.
  These will be moved to sile.info.<attr> instead to reduce
  the number of methods exposed on each sile.

• #617: Bump pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish from 1.6.4 to 1.8.10

[0.14.0] - 2023-09-28

Added

• added SISL_UNIT_SIESTA to select between legacy or codata2018 units (since Siesta 5)
  New default is codata2018, may create inconsistencies until Siesta 5 is widely adopted.

• added --remove to sgeom for removing single atoms

• added a EllipticalCylinder as a new shape

• added basis-enthalpy to the stdoutSiestaSile.read_energy routine

• added read_trajectory to read cell vectors, atomic positions, and forces from VASP OUTCAR

• slicing io files multiple output (still WIP), see #584 for details
  Intention is to have all methods use this method for returning
  multiple values, it should streamline the API.

• allowed xyz files to read Origin entries in the comment field

• allowed sile specifiers to be more explicit:

  • "hello.xyz{contains=}" equivalent to "hello.xyz{}"

  • "hello.xyz{startswith=}" class name should start with <name>

  • "hello.xyz{endswith=}" class name should end with <name>
    This is useful for defining a currently working code:

     SISL_IO_DEFAULT=siesta
    

• added environment variable SISL_IO_DEFAULT which appends a sile specifier
  if not explicitly added. I.e. get_sile("hello.xyz") is equivalent to
  get_sile("hello.xyz{os.environ["SISL_IO_DEFAULT"]}".
  Fixes #576

• added a context manager for manipulating the global env-vars in temporary
  locations. with sisl_environ(SISL_IO_DEFAULT=...)

• enabled Geometry.append|prepend in sgeom command (reads other files)

• added fdfSileSiesta.write_brillouinzone to easily write BandLines to the fdf output,
  see #141

• added aniSileSiesta for MD output of Siesta, #544

• mdSileOpenMX for MD output of OpenMX

• Atoms.formula to get a chemical formula, currently only Hill notation

• unified the index argument for reading Grids, read_grid, this influences
  Siesta and VASP grid reads.

• sisl.mixing:

  • AndersonMixer enables the popular and very simple linear-like mixer
  • StepMixer allows switching between different mixers, for instance this
    enabled restart capabilities among other things.
  • Enabled composite mixers (simple math with mixers)

• BrillouinZone.merge allows simple merging of several objects, #537

Changed

• updated the viz module, #476
• allowing ^ negation in order arguments for siles
• internal change to comply with scipy changes, use issparse instead
  of spmatrix, see #598
• netCDF4 is now an optional dependency, #595
• interface for Sparse*.nonzero(), arguments suffixed with 's'
• stdoutSileVASP will not accept all= arguments
• stdoutSileVASP.read_energy returns as default the next item (no longer the last)
• txtSileOrca will not accept all= arguments, see #584
• stdoutSileOrca will not accept all= arguments, see #584
• xyzSile out from sisl will now default to the extended xyz file-format
  Explicitly adding the nsc= value makes it compatible with other exyz
  file formats and parseable by sisl, this is an internal change
• default of Geometry.translate2uc, now only periodic axes are
  default to be moved
• all out files have been renamed to stdout to clarify they are
  user determined output file names, suggestion by @tfrederiksen
• bumped Python requirement to >=3.8
• orbitals R arguments will now by default determine the minimal radii
  that contains 99.99% of the function integrand. The argument now
  accepts values -1:0 which is a fraction of the integrand that the function
  should contain, a positive value will explicitly set the range #574
• Added printout of the removed couplings in the RecursiveSI
• SuperCell class is officially deprecated in favor of Lattice, see #95 for details
  The old class will still be accessible and usable for some time (at least a year)
• Enabled EigenState.wavefunction(grid) to accept grid as the initialization of
  the grid argument, so one does not need to produce the Grid on before-hand
• Geometry.rotate(only=) to (what=), this is to unify the interfaces across, #541
  Also changed the default value to be "xyz" if atoms is Not none
• tbtncSileTBtrans(only=) arguments are changed to (what=) #541
• SelfEnergy.scattering_matrix is changed to SelfEnergy.broadening_matrix
  ince the scattering matrix is an S-matrix usage.
  Also changed se2scat to se2broadening #529
• allow BrillouinZone initialization with scalar weights for all k-points #537
• Geometry.swapaxes and SuperCell.swapaxes, these are now more versatile by
  allowing multiple swaps in a single run, #539
• deprecated set_sc
• internal build-system is changed to scikit-build-core, the distutils will be
  deprecated in Python>=3.12 so it was a needed change.
  This resulted in a directory restructuring.

Fixed

• fixed Mulliken calculations for polarized calculations due to missing copy, #611
• fixed single argument ret_isc=True of close, #604 and #605
• tiling Grid now only possible for commensurate grids (grid.lattice % grid.geometry.lattice)
• rare cases for non-Gamma calculations with actual Gamma matrices resulted
  in crashes #572
• MonkhorstPack.replace now checks for symmetry k-points if the BZ is using
  trs. Additionally the displacements are moved to the primitive point before
  comparing, this partly fixed #568
• spin-orbit Hamiltonians in RealSpaceSE and RealSpaceSI, fixes #567
• ufunc reductions on SparseGeometry where axis arguments reduces
  dimensionality
• interaction with pymatgen
• fdfSileSiesta.includes would fail when empty lines were present, #555
  fixed and added test
• Documentation now uses global references
• Geometry.swapaxes would not swap latticevector cartesian coordinates, #539

Added

• Geometry.apply apply functions to slices of data depending on the geometry
• enabled Gaussian and Slater type orbitals, #463
  Please give feedback!
• deltancSileTBtrans.merge allowing easy merging of several delta
  siles, #513
• implemented reading of output files from ORCA, #500
• HydrogenicOrbital is added for simple handling of 1-valence electron
  orbitals, #499
• Bohr radius to constants
• enabled ASCII siles to read from file-handles and buffers, #484
• enabled unit specification for lengths in cube-files
• added kwargs passed to eigenstate functions in berry_phase
  and conductivity
• ensured that non-orthogonal transform will copy over overlap matrix
  in case the matrix is only touching the non-overlap elements
• enabled dictionary entries for the Atoms initialization
  in place of atoms argument. Both in the list-like entry, or
  as the only argument.

Fixed

• rare compiler bug, #512
• within_inf with periodic arguments, #511
• reading TranSiesta data from outSileSiesta
• regression from 80f27b0, reading version 0 HSX content, #492
• delta-files (netCDF) would always have diagonal components,
  this has now been removed since it only needs the elements with
  values
• Siesta sparse matrices could in some cases set wrong diagonal
  components
• too large energies in Siesta files could result in crash, #482
• orbital quantum numbers from HSX file was wrong in v1, #462
• corrected sign for spin-Y direction, PDOS, spin_moment, #486
• RealSpaceSI for right semi-infinite directions, #475
• tbtrans files now have a separate entry in the documentation

Changed

• removed all deprecated routines, #495
• oplist now can do in-place operations on generators
• significant performance improvement for COOP calculations,
  thanks to Susanne Leitherer for discovering the issue
• changed argument order of ElectronState.COP
• index ordering of spin and coordinate quantities are now changed to
  have these as the first indices. This ensures consistency across
  return types and allows easier handling.
  Note that non-polarized PDOS calculations now has an extra dimension
  for coherence with non-colinear spin. (see #501)
• ensured all units are now CODATA-2018 values
• cell_length changed to cell2length with new axes argument
• enabled orbitals up to the h-shell, #491
• swapped order of honeycomb (graphene derivatives)
  lattice vectors, to ensure the vectors are following right-hand-rule, #488
• changed DIIS solver to assume the matrix is symmetric (it is)
• tbtncSileTBtrans and its derivates has changed, drastically.
  This will accommodate changes related to #477 and #478.
  Now *_transmission refers to energy resolved transmissions
  and *_current reflects bias-window integrated quantities.
  The defaults and argument order has changed drastically, so
  users should adapt their scripts depending on sisl version.
  A check can be made, if sisl.__version_tuple__[:3] >= (0, 13, 0):
• To streamline argument order the *_ACO[OH]P routines have changed
  elec and E argument order. This makes them compatible with
  orbital_transmission etc.
