Version 0.11 released

[Gaëtan de Menten]

I am pleased to announce that version 0.11 of LIAM2 is now available.

 

Highlights of this release are support for the "sidewalk" alignment method,

support for default values for fields and some basic help in the interactive

console.

 

More details and the complete list of changes are available below.

 

This new release can be downloaded on our website:

As always, *any* feedback is very welcome, preferably on the liam2-users

mailing list: liam2...@googlegroups.com (you need to register to be

able to post).

 

New features

------------

 

* added support for the "sidewalk" method in align_abs()

  in addition to the existing (and default) "bysorting" method. Thanks to

  Alexis Eidelman and Mahdi Ben Jelloul (pull request 189).

 

* added support for defining a default value for fields. This default value will

  be assigned to the corresponding fields in new() and if the fields are not

  present in the initial data (see the fields declaration

   section for details). Thanks to Alexis Eidelman and

  Mahdi Ben Jelloul (pull request 190).

 

* added "functions" command to the interactive console. It displays the

  list of available functions.

 

* added "help [function]" console command. It displays the signature of the

  function (ie the list of possible arguments and their default value if any).

  For random generator functions it also displays a detailed description

  (from numpy).

 

* added a 'limit' argument to `dump()` to limit the number of rows of the

  output.

 

Miscellaneous improvements

--------------------------

 

* improved the logging message for align with take or leave filters: the take

  and leave filters are combined with the "normal" filter before computing the

  take and leave numbers displayed. It does not change the results in any way,

  only the numbers logged to the console.

 

* made the demonstration models use 3d alignment files in some cases instead of

  separate alignment files for men and women.

 

* better error message when a user-defined function is called with the wrong

  number of arguments.

 

* better error message on failed assertEqual if shapes are different.

 

* added check for duplicate ids when loading datasets.

 

Miscellaneous improvements for developers

-----------------------------------------

 

* implemented Simulation.from_str to create a simulation object from a

  string (using Python).

 

Fixes

-----

 

* fixed various problems with the demonstration models.

 

* fixed grouping by a constant.
