- Added SubhaloPhaseSpace class for modeling HOD-style satellite velocities with subhalos.
- The
Lbox
attribute of all Halotools halo catalogs is now stored as an array of length 3 instead of a scalar. - Fixed bug in multi-threaded calculations using npairs_per_object_3d function.
- Added empirical_models.abunmatch sub-package providing conditional abundance matching functionality

- Addition of two new classes halotools.empirical_models.BiasedNFWPhaseSpace and halotools.empirical_models.SFRBiasedNFWPhaseSpace for NFW satellites with biased concentrations and Jeans solutions.
- The
gal_types
attribute of HODModelFactory-produced models is now sorted so thatcentrals
always appears beforesatellites
. This new default behavior is more common for interdependent occupation models, where satellite abundance depends upon central galaxy characteristics, rather than the other way around. See astropy#729 - Added new keyword arguments to return_xyz_formatted_array function enabling application of redshift-space distortions for galaxy samples at higher redshift. Previously, the user needed to do this manually). Default behavior of this function is unchanged, provided users had not locally modified the sim_defaults module to have set default_redshift greater than zero.
- All models now support an optional
seed
keyword argument, allowing for deterministic Monte Carlo realizations of models. As a result of this feature, it is now mandatory that all user-defined models obey a new constraint. Any function appearing in themock_generation_calling_sequence
must now use the kwargs Python syntax to catch any additional inputs passed to these functions by the MockFactory. - Added relative_positions_and_velocities function to mock_observables
- Fixed little h bug in the Behroozi10SmHm class. This impacts the Leauthaud11Cens and Leauthaud11Sats classes, as well as the leauthaud11 composite model.
