BioSNICAR v2 is a major upgrade from BioSNICAR v1. The most significant changes are:
- implementation of the adding-doubling solver in addition to the Toon solver
- incorporation of empirically measured glacier and snow algae optical properties
- complete refactor of the code to conform to object-oriented programming norms
- branching off of legacy "functional" style BioSNICAR to "classic" branch
- Comprehensive Sphinx docs hosted at a public URL
- Extensive automated tests in the form of a pytest suite
- Github workflow that runs pytest tests for all PRs to main branch
