New release and broken links

[poautran]

Hi Axel!

We are looking at deploying this package on the ESRF cluster in a Conda env with py3.12.
Could you make a release on pypi with your latest changes ? It seems like the version 0.4.1 is kind of outdated.
Also the links on pypi are pointing to a fork of the project in your homespace.

Note: pygalmesh seems like a dead project, we may have issues to make it work on py3.12. Do you have any alternatives already in mind ?

Thanks for your help ;-)

Hi Pierre!

Thanks for showing an interest!

I belive @Marcraven should be in this discussion as he currently have a heavily optimised version of the library on his branch which he is actively developing as part of his professional work -- This is the time to make a decision about merging branches and releasing a v1.0.0 xrd_simulator. @Marcraven would you like to merge into main and release you contributions?

In terms of pygalmesh I do not currently have an option available. The lib is basically a bunch of bindings to cgal as fars I understand. I would expect it to run on python 3.12?

Hi Axel,

I think I would like to add my branch as xrd_simulator.powder, separare code within the xrd_simulator project.

The code is already so different from the original that trying to keep all the functions common is pointless.

What I can try is to keep the API for users as similar as possible.

That is really all I can offer, if you think it is a good idea maybe we should then name the classic xrd_simulator.crystals or something like that so people know which package is good for what.

Cheers,
