v2.10.1

I am pleased to announce the release of SPLASH v2.10.1. This is a minor release, but is highly recommended for all users.

New features are:

• new userguide in readthedocs format
• physical units are ON by default
• prompts only for particle types present in data
• exact solution can appear in legend, can also plot under data
• fits reader (splash-fits) and denoise utility
• text shapes can print header variables using %(var)
• can shift cross section by precise amounts in interactive mode using number followed by u/d
• reduced verbosity for non-interactive plots
• use of fake dust particles is now via menu option, not environment variable
• max particle types = 24
• bug fix with save limits with particle tracking
• support for .pfm pixelmap format as output
• various minor changes and bug fixes

also a preview of new release tags + release-via-GitHub mechanism

Happy splash-ing,

Daniel
