📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release process now builds and publishes Linux and macOS binaries with the source tarball. Installer scripts support static Cairo, Pixman, and HDF5 builds. Runtime metadata, public utilities, dependency data, and documentation are updated for version 4.0.0.

Changes

Release packaging and version 4.0.0

Layer / File(s) Summary
Static dependency installers
install-pkg.sh, install-cairo.sh, install-hdf5.sh, build/.depends
The installer scripts add configurable static builds, parallel compilation, curl fallback, configure arguments, and clearer error handling. Build dependencies are updated for affected readers and rendering objects.
Platform binary release workflow
.github/workflows/release.yml
The workflow builds Linux and macOS binaries, packages artifacts, collects their paths, and publishes them with the source tarball through softprops/action-gh-release.
Runtime version and system utility updates
src/splash.f90, src/system_utils.f90, Makefile
Runtime release metadata and copyright years are updated. to_utf8_safe is removed from the public interface, and get_copyright uses ©.
Documentation for devices, formats, and release content
docs/*.rst, docs/conf.py
Documentation adds macOS /osx, supported formats, command-line options, ndspmhd conversion, updated source descriptions, cross-references, and version 4.0.0 history.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 98fdc

This release changes installer, build, documentation, and binary-publishing behavior, but the current head still risks downstream compilation failures, unusable macOS binaries, and build failures under make, while granting repository write access to jobs that execute build code. Merge should wait for these bounded issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 12-13: Set the workflow-level contents permission to read-only,
then add a job-level contents: write permission under the release job while
leaving build-binaries and binaries without repository write access.
- Around line 59-60: Update the macOS release workflow step around
install-cairo.sh to build both Cairo and pixman with shared libraries disabled,
ensuring the packaged bin/splash binary does not depend on Homebrew dylibs;
preserve the existing Linux build behavior.

In `@docs/other.rst`:
- Around line 43-50: Update the ndspmhd conversion documentation to state that
it writes gas particles only and drops sinks and all other particle types. Apply
this clarification in docs/other.rst lines 43-50 and docs/getting-started.rst
line 347, alongside the existing conversion descriptions.

In `@docs/source.rst`:
- Line 6: Update the documented source glob near the specialised read_data_*
references to match both lowercase and uppercase Fortran extensions, using a
case-inclusive pattern such as src/*.[fF]90 or equivalent explicit patterns.

In `@install-pkg.sh`:
- Around line 32-33: Remove the MAKEFLAGS-to-make_j assignment in the install
script so MAKEFLAGS is not passed as positional arguments to make. Let child
make processes inherit MAKEFLAGS through the environment, while preserving any
separate handling of explicit make arguments.

In `@src/splash.f90`:
- Line 62: Split the long comment beginning “added --limits=min,max flag” into
two Fortran comment lines, keeping the existing wording and meaning while
ensuring each line is no longer than 100 characters.

In `@src/system_utils.f90`:
- Line 33: Address the removed public to_utf8_safe API by either documenting the
v4.0 breaking change in the release notes or restoring a deprecated
compatibility wrapper in system_utils; preserve downstream callers’ ability to
compile if choosing the wrapper approach.
