v0.66.0

Hello there!

This new release has focused in two things:

Improved geometry API for plotting 🎨 (#2125)

This PR allows a more easy to maintain geometry plot API. Further more eases different entities plots and grouping. Thanks to this we can use mapdl.cmplot.

See Migration to the new geometry API

Introducing the component manager 🎰 (#2041)

Now you can access components using an API similar to the parameters one:

>>> mapdl.components
MAPDL Components
----------------
MYCOMP1                          : NODE
MYCOMP2                          : ELEM

and

>>> mapdl.components["mycomp1"]
Component(type='NODE', items=(1, 3, 6))

See Components API

Worth to mention 🤓

Additionally, we would like to highlight the following changes/improvements:

• Starting Windows-hosted MAPDL from WSL #2324.
• Improvements to the dev containers #2208
• More examples:
  • https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/examples/extended_examples/executable/executable.html#executable-example
  • https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/examples/extended_examples/gui/executable.html#gui-example

@ansys/pymapdl-maintainers and @ansys/pymapdl-developers hope you enjoy the new features! 🚀
