Meep's PML is now a true PML for arbitrary anisotropic, dispersive, and conducting media. (Now uses a slightly unconventional reformulation of PML described at ab-initio.mit.edu/meep/pml-meep.pdf)
Fixed bug which caused anisotropic non-diagonal mu to be unstable.
Fix compilation failure with gcc 4.4 due to missing cstdio header (thanks to Linran Fan and Bin Shao for the bug reports).
C++ interface: volume was renamed to grid_volume and geometric_volume was renamed to volume, to better reflect their respective roles.
Added accurate-fields-near-cylorigin? option to have more accurate fields near the r=0 origin for large m in cylindrical coordinates, at the expense of requiring a smaller Courant factor. (Default is false, corresponding to behavior in older Meep versions.)
In 2d computational cells, added much more efficient support for exp(ikz) z-dependence, enabled by new special-kz? input variable (default is false since it only works in 2d and is a little subtle for real fields).
Includes preliminary new features to aid in computation of optical forces (both classical and quantum Casimir forces); further documentation pending more testing.

Meep 1.0

28 April 2009.

New timestepping scheme for off-diagonal anisotropic epsilon and mu, based on technique by Werner and Cary [ J. Comp. Phys. 226, 1085 (2007) ], that improves FDTD stability when anisotropy is present (such as when subpixel averaging is used on isotropic media).
Scheme user interface now supports user-specified anisotropic (real-symmetric) epsilon and mu (via epsilon-diag, epsilon-offdiag, mu-diag, and mu-offdiag parameters, similar to MPB). Accurate subpixel averaging of anisotropic media based on the method by Kottke, Farjadpour, & Johnson [ Phys. Rev. E. 77, 036611 (2008) ].
Anisotropic dispersive materials are now supported, although currently the dispersive part of the epsilon/mu tensor must be diagonal, via the new sigma-diag parameter of polarizability. (The corresponding C++ interface has also removed delta_epsilon.)
The delta-epsilon parameter of polarizability has been removed; you should use sigma instead.
New fields::integrate2 function (and corresponding Scheme function integrate2-field-function) to perform integrations involving two simulations with the same computational cell (e.g. field-overlap calculations for coupled-mode theory).
In the Scheme interface, subpixel averaging is not used for user-specified material-function types; you only get subpixel averaging for the standard shapes (blocks, cylinders, etcetera).
Haskell code-generation is no longer used, and hsrc directory is removed. Bitrotted and undocumented (hence unused) saturable-absorber feature has been removed, along with energy-saturation parameter of polarizability.
Some bug-fixes to test programs that made them overly sensitive to roundoff errors and possibly fail depending on the compiler. (New fields::round_time and meep-round-time functions to round times to single-precision, useful for robust time comparisons.)

Meep 0.20.4

17 March 2009.

Bug fix in cylindrical code, which caused it to blow up in some circumstances for nonzero m.
Bug fix: non-integrated sources with conductivity are now second-order accurate, thanks to Alejandro Rodriguez.
Bug fix in writing strings with parallel HDF5, thanks to Zheng Li for the bug report.
Check that PML parameters are sensible (e.g. that total PML thickness is no greater than cell thickness) to avoid common mistakes.
New extra-materials input variable, so that you no longer have to use "dummy objects" to specify the existence of some materials when using material-function types.

Meep 0.20.3

24 July 2008.

Fixed circular dependency in Makefile, which caused problems with some versions of make; thanks to Kaoru Narita for the bug report.

Bug fix: pkg-config file was incorrectly installed for MPI version; thanks to Majid Sodagar for the bug report.

Meep 0.20

19 July 2008.

Support for user-specified permeability (mu). Renamed dielectric to medium in libctl interface, new mu property and new output-bfield and output-mu functions, and new Permeability and Bx etc. field types.
Support for user-specified electric and/or magnetic conductivities. These are especially useful to add a desired dissipation loss (an imaginary part of epsilon/mu) in a narrow bandwidth, without messing around with Lorentzian dispersive materials.
Add predefined perfect-magnetic-conductor (mu = -infinity) material, along with perfect-electric-conductor (eps = -infinity).
Added synchronized-magnetic step function to allow step functions to run with the electric and magnetic fields synchronized in time to second-order accuracy.
New PML implementation (UPML instead of split-field), should have lower reflection in many cases.
User-specified PML profile and asymptotic reflection.
Internally, all timestepping code is now handwritten (and much shorter) rather than old verbose Haskell-generated code; this should make it easier to add new features.
Add support for non-integrated current sources, if the is-integrated? property of the current is set to false; this is now the default, to make handling of E and H sources more similar and intuitive.
Work with HDF5 1.8 (which previously would not compile unless you manually set a preprocessor flag, due to API changes).
Check for ctl.h in /usr/include/ctl/ctl.h (default in Fedora), and check for libctl in /usr/share/libctl3 (default in Debian & Ubuntu).
Bug fix: fixed relative phase of E and H sources (which were off from one another by half a timestep); thanks to M. Megens for bug report.
Bug fix: make sure h5 filenames have unique timestep for cases where dt is very small or very large.

Meep 0.10.1

13 Nov. 2007.

Bug fix in flux_in_box, which accidentally returned the flux multiplied by the number of processors, instead of the flux.
Bug fix in epsilon averaging for structures including metals (epsilon < 0), fixing an instability.
Bug fix in output-png when running in parallel (removing race condition).
Fixed bug that disabled subpixel averaging for dimensions=1 (thanks to Mischa Megens for the bug report).
Fixed bug that caused output-tot-pwr to stop Meep with an error message; thanks to Vyacheslav Sokolov for the bug report.
Make at-every step functions less susceptible to rounding errors; thanks to L. Le Guyader for the bug report.
Fixed bug in dispersive media that wasted memory on parallel machines (the polarization memory was not parallelized); thanks to J. L. Silva for the bug report.
Bug fix in output-png+h5, thanks to a report by Chad Husko.
Fixed several deadlocks that could occur when the parallel Meep is used with a serial HDF5 library (we continue to recommend using the parallel HDF5 library with parallel Meep, however). Thanks in part to Lingling Tang for his bug report.
For maintainer-mode, improved detection of Haskell package names; thanks to Liang Huo for the bug report.

Meep 0.10

21 Aug. 2006.

eps-averaging? is now turned on by default (in libctl interface), using much-improved algorithm by Ardavan Farjadpour. This greatly improves accuracy, and also allows continuous tuning of geometric parameters. (See our upcoming paper in Optics Lett., with a preprint linked on the web site.) New input variables subpixel-tol and subpixel-maxeval to control the accuracy of the subpixel averaging.
Support for chi2 (Pockels) as well as chi3 (Kerr) nonlinearities.
Symmetries no longer require the cell size to be an even number of pixels. Previously, Meep exited with an error in this case, whereas now it simply adds an extra pixel to the cell size as needed.
New with-prefix step function to allow you to use a different filename-prefix for selected outputs.
New feature for output-png: built-in shell variable $EPS that refers to the last-output epsilon .h5 file, which you can use to easily add dielectric contours/overlays to the field output image.
Added output-png+h5 function that outputs both .png and .h5 files.
New functions flux-in-box, electric-energy-in-box, magnetic-energy-in-box, and field-energy-in-box (convenience wrappers around C++ functions).
Bug fix in Kerr nonlinearity - chi3 was accidentally scaled by epsilon^4 factor.
Bug fix: if you specified three or more symmetries, at most two symmetries were used (ignoring the rest).
Bug fix in rotate2 symmetry, which wasn't working correctly.
Bug fix in add-flux for multiple flux regions, thanks to K. Choi.
Bug fix in harminv where it wouldn't allow you to call harminv more than once for the same run loop; thanks to Aristos Karalis.
Bug fix in save-flux/load-flux that prevented it from working properly without output directories, thanks to Karl Koch.
Fixed abort that sometimes occurred due to rounding when the source was the same width as the cell (thanks to G. J. Parker).
