ShengBTE v0.9.16 and thirdorder.py v1.0.1 are now available from the Downloads section.

v1.0.1 of thirdorder.py brings an overhaul of its core, now written in Cython. No Fortran compiler is needed to build the shared library now. Since BLAS used to be source of most linking problems, we hope that this change makes compilation easier. Please refer to README.md for details.

The main change in ShengBTE is the treatment of degenerate modes, whose group velocities are now properly symmetrized. Some new files have been added to the output.

As usual, some bugs have been ironed out here and there.
