We're back from summer! And with some exciting news too!
|
|
|
|
[Version 0.6](https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/releases/tag/v0.6),
|
|
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](https://pypi.org/project/avaframe/),
|
|
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](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/avaframeConnector/)
|
|
and installable via the QGis plugin manager. This allows you to run the standard operational
|
|
workflow from within QGis.
|
|
- see our [installation instructions](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/installation.html) 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](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/FAQ.html))
|
|
- 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](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/releaseNotes.html).
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
|
|
