Version 0.5

• Implementation of the novel eigenmode decomposition method BeamLabEDM for ultra-fast calculation of waveguide throughputs

Version 0.4

• Waveguide eigenmode solver BeamLabEIG based on the finite-difference method
  • Semivectorial or scalar analysis
  • Non-equidistant or equidistant discretization
• Minor bug-fixes

Version 0.3

• Complete code refactoring with further optimizations
• True semi-vectorial analysis
  • Quasi-TE mode E_x representation
  • Quasi-TE mode H_y representation
  • Quasi-TM mode E_y representation
  • Quasi-TM mode H_x representation
