SC2Reader 0.5.0 Release

[Graylin Kim]

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I (finally) pushed a new version of sc2reader to PyPi. It is stable and parses all replays including new 2.0.8 replays. It also includes support for the new tracker data (see Blizzard's announcement).

If you run into upgrade issues please let me know so I can document the problem and/or fix it. Backwards incompatibility was not intended.

I have a (very) rough list of changes that were made in the last several months:

• Support for all replays (arcade replays now parse!) from all versions
• Support for the new replay.tracker.events added in 2.0.8
• Units now have birth frame, death frame, and owner information
• New events for (roughly) tracking unit positions
• New events for tracking player resource stockpiles and collection rates
• More!
  
• Much more comprehensive documentation.
• New unit model
• SiegeTank and SiegeTankSieged are no longer separate units.
• Units that can transform maintain a full type history.
• Units are correctly and uniquely identified by unit_id alone.
  
• Updated unit meta data:
• Mineral Cost
• Vespene Cost
• Supply Cost
  
• Flags for is_worker, is_army, is_building
• Added ability meta data:
• is_build flag marking abilities that create units
• build_unit indicating the unit type that is built
• build_time indicating the build time for the ability

As always I am happy to answer questions both here on the mailing list and on IRC in the #sc2reader channel on Freenode.

Good luck, have fun!
