This month in AvaFrame - September 2021 edition
+October 5, 2021
+ + +We’re back from summer! And with some exciting news too!
+Version 0.6, +the QGis/pypi and testing - release, was published.
+So what is included in this release?
+-
+
-
+
The installation process was completely changed and (hopefully) made a lot easier for you:
+-
+
- installation of AvaFrame is now working via pypi, +i.e. through pip install avaframe. +
- the pip install is provided for Windows, Linux and MacOS for python versions > 3.6. Note that +we did not test MacOS (anyone got a free Macbook lying around?! :-); seriously: if you work on MacOS +we’d be happy about some feedback!) +
- the QGis connector plugin is now in the public +QGis plugin directory +and installable via the QGis plugin manager. This allows you to run the standard operational +workflow from within QGis. +
- see our installation instructions for more information +
+ -
+
Our testing / code coverage has improved considerably. We are still long ways away from perfect, but this is an +ongoing process. As a side-note: we switched from codecoverage to codeclimate as service provider, since we felt we +gain more insights this way.
+
+ -
+
Modules with the most substantial changes are:
+-
+
- com1DFA:
+
-
+
- any resolution is possible (also see the new FAQ) +
- option to track particles by ID and know which parent particle they originate from. +
- include entrainment thickness from shapefiles +
- new option for the initialisation of particle mass +
+ - ana3AIMEC: adjust raster cellsize (for different resolutions) and mass analysis plots +
+ - com1DFA:
+
-
+
And as always: many more functional changes under the hood, see the main ones in our +release notes.
+
+
We invite you to give this version a try, especially the standard installation using QGis. Please let us know +if you run into problems (which you will…). We are looking forward to your feedback!
+And since I can see fresh snow up on the mountains from where I’m writing this: let the next avalanche season begin…
+Till next month,
+Felix
