Release notes

Changes from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0

  • Redesign the caterva guts and perform a code refactorization in order to simplify the code. This includes API renaming. A performance improvement is obtained as can be seen in https://github.com/Blosc/caterva/pull/69#issuecomment-843835622

  • Implement a set_slice for arrays backed by Blosc. This allows users to update the values in the array whenever and wherever they want.

  • Implement constructors (empty, zeros, full) using the special-values features introduced in Blosc.

  • Use the pydata_sphinx_theme in the documentation.

Changes from 0.3.3 to 0.4.0

  • API renaming. The function names simulate a namespace and some variable names have been changed to those used by the general community (part -> chunk).

  • Add a new level of multi-dimensionality. As a result, unlike other libraries, Caterva supports two levels of multi-dimensional chunking (chunks and blocks).

  • Improve library compilation to allow users to avoid building tests and examples.

  • Simplify the test’s suite for a proper integration in Windows.

  • Update documentation to improve the library description and to add the Release notes and the Roadmap in a new section.

Changes from 0.3.0 to 0.3.3

  • Fixing that 0.3.1 and 0.3.2 tags were not made in master :-/

Changes from 0.2.2 to 0.3.0

  • Big code and API refactorization. As result, the API is more consistent and hopefully more intuitive to use. For more info on the new API, see https://caterva.readthedocs.io.

Changes from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2

  • Add a caterva_from_sframe() function.

Changes from 0.2.0 to 0.2.1

  • Both static and dynamic libraries are created by default now. If you want to disable the creation of one of them, just set the cmake options SHARED_LIB=OFF or STATIC_LIB=OFF.

  • Add a copy parameter to caterva_from_file().
