= What's New in ANUGA v1.2 =
Here are some new features from the upcoming release:


== Easy Imports ==
Instead of typing this at the start of every scenario:
{{{
from anuga.shallow_water.boundaries import Reflective_boundary,\
     Transmissive_momentum_set_stage_boundary,\
     Dirichlet_discharge_boundary,\
...
# Shallow water domain is the standard
from anuga.shallow_water.shallow_water_domain import Domain
}}}

You can automatically import the shallow water domain and all the commonly used boundaries using this single line:
{{{
from anuga import *
}}}


You can also import common file conversion routines like so:
{{{
from anuga.file_conversion import *
}}}

See the documentation for the list of functions and classes that are made available for import.

== Deprecated Functionality Removed in ANUGA v1.2 ==

Some old functionality has been removed from ANUGA in version 1.2. Please contact the ANUGA team if you have any issues migrating your code to the new version.

|| start_screen_catcher || This class was not being used, and the effect can easily be reproduced through the OS using > and 2> piping.
|| copy_code_files || Moved from abstract_2d_finite_volumes.util to utilities.file_utils as it was a generic function
|| csv2dict || Renamed to load_csv_as_dict: foo2bar is used for file-to-file conversions.
|| asc_csiro2sww || Renamed to esri2sww.
|| hecras_cross_sections2pts || renamed to sdf2pts.
|| data_manager_joaquims_patch || old, redundant code that was not being used anywhere - has been removed.
|| sww2domain || Renamed to load_sww_as_domain to fit in with new naming convention.
