Changelog

List of changes in-between dclab releases.

version 0.24.7

  • fix: ConfigurationDict.update did not take into account invalid keys (everything is now done with (__setitem__`)

version 0.24.6

  • maintenance release

version 0.24.5

  • maintenance release

version 0.24.4

  • maintenance release

version 0.24.3

  • fix: ConfigurationDict.update did not actually perform the requested update (does not affect Configuration.update)
  • enh: also use points_in_polygon from scikit-image to determine contour levels

version 0.24.2

  • build: import new skimage submodules so that PyInstaller will find and use them

version 0.24.1

  • enh: improve polygon filter speed by roughly two orders of magnitude with a cython version taken from scikit-image; there are only minor differences to the old implementation (top right point included vs. lower left point included), so this is not a breaking change (#23)

version 0.24.0

  • data: refurbished LUT for linear elastic spheres provided by Dominic Mokbel and Lucas Wittwer (based on the FEM simulation results from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12155064.v2); compared to the old LUT, there is a relative error in Young’s modulus below 0.1 %, which should not cause any breaking changes
  • data: updated isoelasticity lines (better spacing): analytical data was made available by Christoph Herold, numerical data was interpolated from the new LUT
  • data: added ‘scripts/extract_lut_and_iso.py’ for extracting Young’s modulus LUT and isoelastics from FEM simulation data provided by Lucas Wittwer; this is now the default method for extracting new LUTs and isoelastics
  • data: added ‘scripts/fem2rtdc.py’ for generating in-silico .rtdc datasets from FEM simulation data provided by Lucas Wittwer
  • fix: dclab-verify-dataset failed when the “logs” group was not present in HDF5 files
  • fix: use predefined chunks when writing HDF5 data to avoid exploding file sizes when writing one event at a time
  • fix: create a deep copy of the metadata dictionary when writing HDF5 data because it leaked to subsequent calls
  • ref: changed the way isoelasticity lines and and emodulus LUTs are stored and loaded (e.g. json metadata and a few more sanity checks)

version 0.23.0

  • feat: enable emodulus extrapolation for area_um/deform values outside of the given LUT.

version 0.22.7

  • enh: dclab-verify-dataset now also checks whether the sheath and sample flow rates add up to the channel flow rate
  • ref: Configuration does not anymore load unknown meta data keyword arguments, but ignores them. This implies that dclab-verify-dataset will not anymore check them actively. Instead, any warning issued when opening a file is added to the list of cues.
  • setup: bump nptdms to 0.23.0

version 0.22.6

  • fix: data export to HDF5 did not work when the “frame rate” is not given in the configuration

version 0.22.5

  • enh: add checks for valid keys in the Configuration dictionary of a dataset RTDCBase().config; unknown keys will issue an UnknownConfigurationKeyWarning (#58)
  • ref: moved rtdc_dataset.fmt_hdf5.UnknownKeyWarning to rtdc_dataset.config.UnknownConfigurationKeyWarning
  • ref: renamed rtdc_dataset.config.CaseInsensitiveDict to rtdc_dataset.config.ConfigurationDict and added option to check new keys
