Raw Blame History

title date draft
This month in AvaFrame - September 2021 edition 2021-10-05T00:00:00+01:00 false

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

  • 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
