😑 0.90.0

Oceananigans v0.90.0

This version introduces a major change (#3355) to the API for initial conditions, background fields, and boundary conditions based on functions on grids with Flat directions. When using functions, we previously would supply all three coordinates (eg f(x, y, z) regardless of whether the function was being used on a grid with a Flat direction. But now, the coordinates associated with Flat directions are omitted. For example, if y is Flat, then initial conditions are set with functions of f(x, z).

One more example. Before this release, one might write

grid = RectilinearGrid(size=64, z=(0, 1), topology=(Flat, Flat, Bounded))
c = CenterField(grid)
random_numbers(x, y, z) = rand()
set!(c, random_numbers)

After this release, this code has to change because the x, y directions are Flat. Thus after this release we write

grid = RectilinearGrid(size=64, z=(0, 1), topology=(Flat, Flat, Bounded))
c = CenterField(grid)
random_numbers(z) = rand()
set!(c, random_numbers)

As a rule, coordinates within functions should never be provided for Flat directions or for Nothing locations.
