[Britton Smith]

Greetings!

yt_astro_analysis version 1.1 is released!

yt_astro_analysis is an extension of yt for astrophysical analysis. This is
the first stable release of yt_astro_analysis to be compatible with yt
version 4.0 and later.
New Features

   - The HaloCatalog has been significantly refactored (#58
   <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/58>, #62
   <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/62>) with the
   following additional improvements:
      - the interface to the Rockstar halo finder is now compatible with
      the latest version of Rockstar Galaxies #55
      <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/55>
      - all halo finders now support being run with time-series of datasets
      - halo particle ids now savable with FoF and HOP halo finders #52
      <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/52>
      - looping over halos is done with io chunks instead of ds.all_data
      for a significant speedup and reduction in memory
      - Allow more flexibility for specifying rockstar particle mass #84
      <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/84>
      - Add restart option for rockstar #82

      <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/34>
   - Remove the sunyaev_zeldovich analysis module. This is now pyxsim
   <http://hea-www.cfa.harvard.edu/~jzuhone/pyxsim/>. #79
   <https://github.com/yt-project/yt_astro_analysis/pull/79>
   - Drop support for python 3.6 #100
