Patch Release 2.0.2

Summer has passed and we are happy to announce another patch release for the 2.0 series of Allpix Squared, version 2.0.2. This release contains 40 commits over the last patch version 2.0.1 and fixes a few issues and smooths out a few missing code documentations. The release is available as Docker image, CVMFS installation, binary tarball and source code from the repository.

The following issues have been resolved and improvements have been made:

• Module WeightingPotentialReader: The scale of the loaded field maps is now provided as fraction of the pixel pitch, fixing an issue with mapping the field to pixels.
• Module DepositionGeant4:
  • Custom ions can now be configured to decay immediately via the additional decay parameter in their definition: particle_type = "ion/Z/A/Q/E/D". The old definition is still supported.
  • New module tests have been added
• Module CapacitiveTransfer:
  • An issue in setting the affected matrix columns and rows in the coupling_matrix mode has been fixed
  • Module tests have been added
• MeshConverter & MeshPlotter:
  • The MeshPlotter tool is now capable of plotting scalar fields
  • A binning issue of histograms generated in the MeshPlotter has been solved
  • The Readme of the MeshConverter now reflects all available command line options
• Doxygen Code Documentation:
  • Some issues in the code documentation, such as outdated or missing parameters of methods, have been fixed
  • The CI now checks for correct documentation of all methods
• Continuous Integration:
  • The GitHub Actions CI now also features the clang-tidy linter, same as on GitLab.
  • Many new tests for the core portion of the framework have been added
• Misc:
  • All Python scripts in the repository have been ported to Python3
  • The PixelCharge object now also provides direct access to primary MCParticle objects via the getPrimaryMCParticles() method.
  • Fix division by zero in the field parser tool in case a loaded field has less than 100 vertices
