2.4.0 (2021-09-30)

This release adds the boxsize parameter to the command line interfaces and requires the user to specify the box size in the Python interfaces to the periodic theory functions. It also contains a number of performance, code-quality, and user-experience improvements.

Breaking Changes

  • Require user to specify boxsize rather than automatically detect particle extent in periodic theory boxes. Applies to Python, command line, and C API. The order of some Python keyword args has also changed. [#199]

Enhancements

  • In the theoretical VPF calculation (theory.vpf), the total volume of the random spheres can now exceed the volume of the sample [#238]
  • Gridlink (the binning of particles into cells) now uses a parallel algorithm for the theory module [#239]
  • Add detection of known-bad Cray hugepages library at NERSC [#246]
  • Replace np.float with np.float64 to fix numpy 1.20 deprecation [#250]
  • Test Numpy versions as old as 1.14 and recent as 1.20 [#251]
  • Add lscpu and preprocessor defs to CI output [#259]

Bug fixes

  • Fix Python reference leak to results struct [#229]
  • Fix parsing error when periodic=False and boxsize not given in the theory module [#257]

2.3.4 (2019-07-21)

This is a bug-fix release and contains general code quality improvements.

Enhancements

  • Further testing via GitHub Actions [#220]
  • Added Ubuntu-Xenial on Travis [#222]

Bug fixes

  • Fixing docs build failure on Travis [#215]
  • Fixing compile failure on missing 'CC' in environment [#226]

2.3.3 (2019-02-03)

This is a bug-fix release and contains general code quality improvements.

Enhancements

Bug fixes

  • Better handling of terminal colours for unknown terminals [#209]
  • Prevent incorrect calculations with periodic boundaries for large ratios of (zmax, Rmax) to Lbox [#210]

2.3.2 (2019-12-24)

This is a release for bug-fixes and general code quality improvements. Travis now also tests for python3.7.

Enhancements

  • Improved code quality and adherence to PEP8 [#189]
  • Documentation no longer shows duplicate entries [#205]

Bug fixes

  • Incorrect calculations for non-native endian data [#191]
  • Large Rmax to Lbox ratio now supported for periodic boundaries [#192]
  • Workaround for GNU Assembler bug causing incorrect calculations [#196]
