[mesa-users] Public Release r8845

[Josiah Schwab]

Dear MESA Community,

We are happy to announce MESA public release version 8845.  There are
two changes we'd like to bring to your attention:

  In order to improve the clarity and uniformity of MESA inlist options,
names using "cnt" were changed to use "interval" (e.g., "terminal_cnt"
was renamed to "terminal_interval").  For the same reasons, the option
"photostep" was renamed to "photo_interval".  A simple find-and-replace
will bring your inlists up-to-date.  If one needs to make the changes in
a more automated fashion, a sample migration script that will make these
changes is attached to this message.

  In the binary module, adjustments were made to the Eddington mass
accretion rate to take into account black hole spins.

Best,
Josiah (on behalf of Frank, Pablo, Rich, Rob, Willie, and of course Bill)
