extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
2.1.5 --> 2.2
-------------
Bug fixes:
- The sign convention for rotation angles was not correctly applied
in Scientific.Geometry.Transformation and Scientific.Geometry.Quaternions.
Everything was consistent, but with the wrong sign.
Improvements:
- Scientific.IO.PDB can handle a larger range of variant formats for DNA
New features:
- New module Scientific.Visualization.VPython.
- Scientific.IO.TextFile also handles bzip2 compressed files
(extension .bz2). This only works if bzip2 is installed.
2.1.4 --> 2.1.5
---------------
New features:
- Scientific.TkWidgets.TkPlotCanvas:
- Popup menu on right button
- Value display on middle button
- HorizontalLine, VerticalLine objects
Modifications:
- MPI interface no longer assumes that MPI_Op and MPI_Datatype are
integers (they aren't in LAM, for example).
2.1.3 --> 2.1.4
---------------
New features:
- New MPI functions implemented by Jakob Schiotz:
- nonblocking send and receive
- abort
- reduce and allreduce
Modifications:
- The Python interpreter lock is released during calls to the netCDF
library, permitting other threads to continue during I/O operations.
An internal lock has been added to prevent reentrant calls to the
netCDF library, which is not thread safe.
(If you don't understand any of this, you shouldn't care, it has
no consequences unless you use threads.)
- Methods receive and receiveString on MPI communicator objects
can be called without source and tag arguments (defaults to None).
Bug fixes:
- The compilation script did not work correctly for MPI support
2.1.2 --> 2.1.3
---------------
New features:
- Some small utility widgets have been added to Scientific.TkWidgets.
They are not particularly "scientific", but not worth the effort
of a separate distribution.
Bug fixes:
- The abs() function didn't work on DerivVar objects (modules
Scientific.Functions.Derivatives and Scientific.Functions.FirstDerivatives)
with negative values.
- The method projectionOf in Scientific.Geometry.Objects3D.Plane was
wrong.
2.1.1 --> 2.1.2
---------------
Installation:
- The mpipython executable is compiled using 'mpicc', which should simplify
installation significantly because all library specifications are
automatically taken into account. In other words, MPI support should
work on all platforms without any modifications to the Setup file.
(Thanks to Jakob Schiotz for this suggestion!)
- Some 'extern' declarations were changed to 'staticforward' to please
some compilers.
Documentation:
- the documentation for the methods receive and receiveString were
wrong.
2.1.0 --> 2.1.1
---------------
Bug fixes:
- The upper bound for MPI message tags was not treated correctly,
leading to a bound of zero on some platforms.
Modifications:
- The methods sendArray and sendString were combined into a single
method send.
- broadcastArray was renamed to broadcast, shareArray was renamed to share,
receiveArray was renamed to receive. The only function that retains
a data type indication is receiveString.
2.0.1 --> 2.1.0
---------------
Additions:
- MPI interface in Scientific.MPI
