Sometimes, while trying to solve the steady-state problem, the Newton solver
would get stuck in a loop where it couldn't find a suitable damping ratio even
after re-revaluating the Jacobian, causing it to get stuck in an loop where it
would keep re-evaluating the Jacobian at the same point (i.e. without having
made a successful damped step).
This change detects this condition and stops the Newton solver so that the 1D
solver can advance the solution by timestepping before trying to solve the
steady-state problem again.
A sign error when limiting the temperature step caused the solver to fail if
the initial temperature was higher than sqrt(Tlow*Thigh).
Cherry-picked from trunk (r1883).
For reactions with unity reactant stoichiometric coefficients, explicit values
for the forward reaction order were being ignored while setting up the
StoichManager.
Cherry-picked from trunk (r1802).
Units specified on the REACTIONS line were not being handled correctly,
causing the units(...) directive of the resulting .cti file to always have
the default units of 'cal/mol' and 'mol', but without correcting the values.
Include directories in the Cantera source tree should be listed first so that
they take precedence over headers from other installed copies of Cantera that
might end up on the include search path. This was potentially a problem when
Cantera was installed in the same location (e.g. /usr/local) as one of its
dependencies (e.g. Sundials).
The same logic applies to directories on the library link path.
Allow specification of a single component when extracting a single value,
instead of requiring a sequence. This in turn provides the same capability to a
number of functions which previously only accepted sequences of element or
species names.
Docstrings for undocumented methods of child classes are automatically copied
from the corresponding method of the parent class. This works both for
docstrings as shown in the Python interpreter as well as the Sphinx-generated
documentation.
Removed manually duplicated docstrings from setProfile(), solve() and
setRefineCriteria() methods.
