Bug fix release due to makethin slicing issues with RF cavities

5.09.02

MAD-X release 5.09.02 (2024.04.19)

• IBS:
  • PR 1210 Fixes in IBS command behaviour (F. Soubelet)
    • Fixed an issue where the IBS table would only be created if the FILE="STRING" part of the command was provided, instead of always as documented.
    • Added an export of the ibs.coulog and ibs.const variables after calling the IBS command (see user guide).
    • Documented the IBS code.
• Add2expr
  • PR 1211 Evaluates the expression when defined.
    • Previously it was possible to add as syntax error in the expression and this was only detected when the expression was evaluated. This PR fixes that.
• Memory corruption
  • PR 1221 Fix dangling pointer
    • setvars leave a string variable point to data on a tables that could be delete leaving a dangling pointer

5.09.01

MAD-X release 5.09.01 (2023.12.04)

• PTC:

  • PR 1200 See more details in this presentation (J. M. Gray, L. Deniau)
    • A flag has been added to ptc_setswitch called nocharge.
    • ptcrbend and truerbend has been removed. Now we use true_rbend.
    • Speed up of PTC fringe fields #1160.
    • Removed sector_nmul_max inconsistency.
    • Add warning for when sector_nmul_max is insufficient.
    • Enabled integration order 8.
    • Simplified MADX-PTC fringe map flags.
    • Added many attributes to activate fringe and face maps.
    • Un-negate the k0s component in the rfmultipole element.
    • Properly weight the knl and ksl components in the rfmultipole element.
    • Force the rfmultipole and crabcavity element to have to same attributes as the rfcavity element.
    • Allowed use of all different types of rbend and therefore implement correct length scaling.
    • Add solenoid compenent to multipole and force solenoid to act like a multipole when l=0.
    • Add shortcuts for identity patches.
    • Fix patch elements when using misalignments.
    • Update documentation for these changes.

• Actions:

  • PR 1202, PR 1203 Update the GitHub actions, add beta min max errors (J. M. Gray)
  • PR 1178, Replace deprecated ::set-output () (T. Glasse)
  • PR 1185 minor fix in numdiff to satisfy broken warnings in intel compiler (L. Deniau)

• Track:

  • PR 1182 Fix thick dipole tracking
