Vplanet

This version was used to generate the figures in "VPLanet: The Virtual Planet Simulator" by Barnes, R. et al. (2019) in the Proceedings of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. All 22 tests pass and are free of memory issues.

This version contains the code at the time of the model description and validation paper's submission to the Proceedings of the Astronomical Society of the Pacidic.

Maximum number of input files increased to 128

More output options

Improved documentation

This update includes:

- more complete documentation for examples
- additional checks to ensure compatibility between modules
- better checks on tidal locking
- new magnetic braking models
- improvements to SPINBODY

This version is nearly stable and complete. All examples of forward integrations have been validated and are part of our continuous integration tests. Documentation is still thin, and tidal heating of the Earth model has not been completed. Some memory leaks are still present, but none appears to be significant. Users should be confident in the results, but may want to wait for v1.0 before publishing any results based on vplanet, unless working with the VPLANET team.
