Version 2.0.0

Waves 2.0.0

Context

This MR removes the compatibility with python 2 and adds the capability to easily link another code to waves using CMake, as well as a feature to read results from the disk.

Changes

• Remove all import from the future libs of python, the code is now compatible with python 3 only
• Add a waves-config file allowing to easily find and link waves to another code using CMake
• Add a load method to GmshImport to read results from the disk (restart/checkpoint feature)
• Add a UnitTest class to test the classes and methods in tbox which can not be accessed directly through python
• Rename katropton to katoptron, although this was done in !59 (merged), it was not referenced by a tag
• Various minor cleaning and bugfixing

Comments

• The GmshImport and GmshExport classes need to be upgraded to deal with gmsh format 4, as well as to read and write data in binary
• The new method GmshImport::load contains a lot of repeated code, similarly to GmshExport::save, there might be a way to improve this

Tests

Passed on ubuntu20.04 (python 3.8.2), and msys2 (python 3.8.1).

 ## Sub-modules
 * [tests](flow/tests): simple tests to be run in battery checking the basic functionnalities of the solver
-* [validation](flow/validation): large scale tests used to validate the solver results
+* [validation](flow/validation): large-scale tests used to validate the solver results
+* [benchmark](flow/benchmark): large-scale tests used to monitor the performance
 * [cases](flow/cases) : sample configuration files meant to be run with scripts, user-defined case should be derived from these
 * [scripts](flow/scripts): various scripts for running the solver automatically
