0.3.1-alpha

Date: 2018-07-07

Refined fileBased Series & Python Data Load

A specification for iteration padding in filenames for fileBased series is introduced. Padding present in read iterations is detected and conserved in processing. Python builds have been simplified and python data loads now work for both meshes and particles.

Changes to “0.3.0-alpha”

Features

  • CMake:
    • add openPMD::openPMD alias for full-source inclusion #277
    • include internally shipped pybind11 v2.2.3 #281
    • ADIOS1: enable serial API usage even if MPI is present #252 #254
  • introduce detection and specification %0\d+T of iteration padding #270
  • Python:
    • add unit tests #249
    • expose record components for particles #284

Bug Fixes

  • improved handling of fileBased Series and READ_WRITE access
  • expose Container constructor as protected rather than public #282
  • Python:
    • return actual data in load_chunk #286

Other

  • docs:
    • improve “Install from source” section #274 #285
    • Spack python 3 install command #278

0.3.0-alpha

Date: 2018-06-18

Python Attributes, Better FS Handling and Runtime Checks

This release exposes openPMD attributes to Python. A new independent mechanism for verifying internal conditions is now in place. Filesystem support is now more robust on varying directory separators.

Changes to “0.2.0-alpha”

Features

  • CMake: add new openPMD_USE_VERIFY option #229
  • introduce VERIFY macro for pre-/post-conditions that replaces ASSERT #229 #260
  • serial Singularity container #236
  • Python:
    • expose attributes #256 #266
    • use lists for offsets & extents #266
  • C++:
    • setAttribute signature changed to const ref #268

Bug Fixes

  • handle directory separators platform-dependent #229
  • recursive directory creation with existing base #261
  • FindADIOS.cmake: reset on multiple calls #263
  • SerialIOTest: remove variable shadowing #262
  • ADIOS1: memory violation in string attribute writes #269

Other

  • enforce platform-specific directory separators on user input #229
  • docs:
    • link updates to https #259
    • minimum MPI version #251
    • title updated #235
  • remove MPI from serial ADIOS interface #258
  • better name for scalar record in examples #257
  • check validity of internally used pointers #247
  • various CI updates #246 #250 #261

0.2.0-alpha

Date: 2018-06-11

Initial Numpy Bindings

Adds first bindings for record component reading and writing. Fixes some minor CMake issues.

Changes to “0.1.1-alpha”

Features

  • Python: first NumPy bindings for record component chunk store/load #219
  • CMake: add new BUILD_EXAMPLES option #238
  • CMake: build directories controllable #241

Bug Fixes

  • forgot to bump version.hpp/__version__ in last release
  • CMake: Overwritable Install Paths #237

0.1.1-alpha

Date: 2018-06-07

ADIOS1 Build Fixes & Less Flushes

We fixed build issues with the ADIOS1 backend. The number of performed flushes in backends was generally minimized.

Changes to “0.1.0-alpha”

Bug Fixes

  • SerialIOTest: loadChunk template missing for ADIOS1 #227
  • prepare running serial applications linked against parallel ADIOS1 library #228

Other

  • minimize number of flushes in backend #212

0.1.0-alpha

Date: 2018-06-06

This is the first developer release of openPMD-api.

Both HDF5 and ADIOS1 are implemented as backends with serial and parallel I/O support. The C++11 API is considered alpha state with few changes expected to come. We also ship an unstable preview of the Python3 API.
