Changes Compared to version 1.2.3
New features:
- Added interactive, a new module which allows users to work interactively with nodes and libraries in e.g. IPython
- Added a ‘Help’ button in all configuration GUIs
New nodes:
- Select columns in ADAF(s) with Table(s)
Node changes:
- Added put results in common outputs option to F(x) list nodes. Changed default of clean output to True
- GZIP support in Export Datasources node
- Improved support for MDF 3.3: Better handling of odd length fields. Improved support for unaligned multibytes
- Autodetect BOM when importing utf8 encoded csv files. Other encodings already handle this
- VJoin no longer changes the type of columns when joining float32 with a missing column. This mitigates potential space issues resulting from the unnecessary increase in size
- VJoin of ADAF(s) now produces one single reference time
- More nodes can be configured without data
User interface:
- Spyder opens the node file again when editing nodes
- Node state can no longer change after pressing cancel in a configuration gui
- Made printing of exceptions more compact, showing only the part of the stacktrace which is relevant to users
- Removed stacktrace from warning messages improving their readability
Reporting:
- Logarithmic axes are now available
- Axis range and scaling is now set as properties on the axis itself instead of via Scales
- Added options for adding a colorbar and drawing bin edges in 2D histograms. (Bin edges can not be used with smoothing)
- Logarithmic color scales can be used for the color scale of 2D histograms
- Some default color maps are available as simple linear color scales in 2D histograms
API changes:
- Made other_name optional in update_column for table
Stability:
- Made it possible to use scipy.weave.inline for installations with space in path
- Added test to track the number of widgets that require data
