[Mesa-users] New MESA release candidate r25.10.1-rc1

[Philip Mocz]

Hi All,

We are pleased to announce a release candidate for the next public release
of MESA, *r25.10.1-rc1*, which can be downloaded from Zenodo:
https://zenodo.org/records/17426065

As a reminder, this is a pre-release version of MESA available for testing
prior to its full release. We expect the full release sometime in
November/December.
The release candidate should not be used for science, but we expect it will
be close to the final released version. We encourage users to test the
release candidate and send feedback to the developers if they feel that
updates to MESA may impact their science.

This beta release contains bug fixes and new features described in the
Changelog
<https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/blob/release/r25.10.1-rc1/docs/source/changelog.rst>,
including the new exciting *colors* module created by Niall Miller
<https://nialljmiller.com/> and Meridith Joyce
<https://www.meridithjoyce.com/>

We are also welcoming Vincent Vanlaer
<https://fys.kuleuven.be/ster/education/seminars/abstract_vincentvanlaer> as
a new Mesa developer.

We have a lot of community contributions (features, issues raised, fixes,
discussions) to the code since the last release, including those from:

We welcome contributions from the community. If you want to contribute to
MESA we have a guide https://docs.mesastar.org/en/latest/contributing.html.
Contributions can take many forms, from bug reports, documentation fixes,
and new code or science. Not everyone has to be a coder to contribute. If
you have an idea or contribution in mind but are unsure about it, don’t
hesitate to reach out to any of the MESA developers -- we’re happy to offer
guidance and support.

Sincerely,
Philip,
on behalf of the MESA Dev Team
