Change Log / Release Log for openPMD-viewer

0.2.0

This is version 0.2.0 of openPMD-viewer. A number of minor changes and fixes have been made in order to make the package more general and to prepare it for a PyPI release. Here are the main changes:

  • Support for the deprecated widget package IPython.html has been dropped. From now on, users need to install the widget package ipywidgets, for the GUI to work.
  • The initialization of an OpenPMDTimeSeries object can now be made faster by setting the optional argument check_all_files to False.
  • The data reader can now support macroWeighted quantities. As consequence, output files from PIConGPU can now be correctly read.
  • The package does not assume anymore that all species contain the same particle quantities. For instance, the package will support a file that contains the positions of ions, and the positions, momenta and weighting of electrons. As part of this, the attribute OpenPMDTimeSeries.avail_ptcl_quantities has been replaced by a dictionary OpenPMDTimeSeries.avail_record_components.
  • This release introduces automatic PEP8 verification as part of the automatic tests that are run on Travis CI (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
  • The evaluation of the waist and duration of the laser is now based on Gaussian fit of the transverse and longtudinal profile respectively.
