v0.9.2

KomaMRI v0.9.2

Diff since v0.9.1

This should not be a breaking release, just improvements on simulation capabilities and speed.

Main Changes

• KomaMRICore - Faster Bloch GPU: This update improves the Bloch simulation method for GPU backends, optimizing memory usage and performance. Our tests show significant speedups in simulations (PR #537 and benchmarks).
• KomaMRIPlots - Fixed a bug on Apple Silicon caused by Kaleido_jll (Issue #386).

Other Minor Changes

• Documentation improvements:
  • Expanded description of the Phantom data type, how to define custom motions, and added new tutorials (PR #495).
  • Improved the "How to contribute to Koma" documentation (PR #553).
• KomaMRIBase - Changed the rotation center from geometric center to center of gravity (PR #593).
• KomaMRI - Temporarily disabled UI tests on Apple Silicon (macOS/ARM) since they fail without a monitor, and switched the Ubuntu test to a different Electron build due to a current error in the Blink package that blocks UI CI tests (PR #565).
