Release 2024.05.11

Upgrade instructions

From #5922 (Factor out Shape options from BCO and Sphere domain):

When using the hardcoded time dependent maps in the Sphere domain, you must now also specify SizeInitialValues: in the shape map options:

ShapeMap:
  LMax: 10
  InitialValues: Spherical
  SizeInitialValues: Auto  # <-- This is new

These are either Auto or an array of length 3 for the value and it's two time derivatives

From #5923 (Add ability to read horizon coefs from file into shape map):

Specify reading in the shape coefficients from a file like so

ShapeMap:
  LMax: 8
  SizeInitialValues: Auto
  InitialValues:
    H5Filename: NameOfFile.h5
    SubfileNames:
      - NameOfCoefSubfile
      - NameOfdtCoefSubfile
      - NameOfd2tCoefSubfile
    MatchTime: 49.8
    MatchTimeEpsilon: 1e-10 # <-- Use 'Auto' for a default of 1e-12
    SetL2CoefsToZero: True
