History

1.2.1 (2024-07-01)

  • Add full compatibility with standard Python dataclasses.

  • Add scripts to convert text to binary format and back (orsopy.ort2orb and orsopy.orb2ort).

  • Multiple updates to documentation.

  • Fix column header line for multi-dataset files written wrongly #128.

  • Fix some issues with validation and schema generation.

  • Fix bug in NeXus file writer for certain header configurations.

1.2.0 (2024-02-23)

  • Introduce reading and writing of NeXus files ORSO binary standard (*.orb)

  • Add some extra attributes from updated ORSO specification (v1.1).

  • Add polarization options for x-ray instruments.

  • Fix compatibility with Python 3.12, resolving issue #115.

  • Move tests to orsopy sub-folders to prevent interference with other packages.

  • Some updates to the package documentation.

  • Fix some cases where numpy based scalars where not properly converted to YAML.

1.1.0 (2023-02-20)

  • Introduction of simple model language that can be used to describe sample structures. The module orsopy.fileio.model_language is used to implement and parse the model language. See https://www.reflectometry.org/projects/simple_model for specifications. Sample model examples can be found in the examples folder together with scripts using the orsopy module to parse and plot the data.

  • Add polarization channels for x-ray experiments

  • Implement ErrorValue class for optional description of errors on values within the file header.

  • Update of .ort standard according to discussions with community. (E.g. rename of column attribute “dimension” to “physical_quantity”)

1.0.1 (2022-06-28)

  • Fix bug that did allow some dictionary type values to be created in Sample.

  • Update the schema files for released .ort standard.

  • Sample.sample_parameters keys to be strings and values restricted to Value, ValueRange, ValueVector or ComplexValue.

  • Add as_unit method to value classes that uses the pint library to convert values to supplied unit automatically.

1.0.0 (2022-06-10)

0.1.1 (2022-06-08)

  • Fix missing data files in distribution

0.1.0 (2022-05-19)

  • Revise .ort file header speicifcation according to ORSO discussions.

  • Implement option for automatic unit conversion based on pint library

  • Improve yaml export to support compact on-line layout for e.g. Value

  • Add a ErrorColumn for clear separation between data and error columns and allow specification of type/distribution of error with conversion factors to get standard deviation (sigma)

  • Add a ComplexValue class

  • Fix some type conversions where e.g. lists have been converted to str

0.0.5 (2022-02-04)

  • Merge the slddb package into orsopy for simple query of the database. SLD db will transition to orsopy for its backend.

  • Fix a bug prventing usage of fileio on python >=3.10.1 due to changes in dataclasses internal API

  • Replace the metaclass implementation by a decorator behaving similar to dataclass

  • Add meeting minutes documenting ORSO decisions

  • Define documentation how to auto-format code and execute on source

  • More documentation improvements
