terms 1.0.0

Website

New vignettes:

Polarised orientation-averaged near fields
Reproducing cartesian `Higher-Order Polarizability Tensors' for a dimer
Validation against MSTM v4 for orientation-averaged cross-sections
Validation against coupled-dipole approximation for far-field circular dichroism

Bug fix

Block matrices LR and RL were swapped, resulting in a (small) error when computing scattering circular dichroism

User-facing changes

MapOaQuantity [p] has a new format (polarised or unpolarised); if specific polarisation(s) are requested, they are taken from the Incidence keyword

New functionality

implemented conversion of multipoles $l<=3$ into cartesian "alpha tensor"
implemented polarised (L or R) orientation-averaged near-fields E2, B2, and LDOC (note: the results are incorrect inside spheres)

Low level changes

calcOaExtField renamed calcOaNFUnpol
calcOaLDOC renamed calcOaNF; now combines calculation of LDOC and field intensities (many terms are common)
new routine alphaTensor

R utilities

export_cubature() utility function to produce an incidence file suitable for TERMS from the cubs package.
removed dependency on reshape2; using tidyr instead
