This is the first major release, now also available from pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/h5py-wrapper/1.0.1.
The documentation is now available from http://h5py-wrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
API changes
The old function names `load_h5` and `add_to_h5` have been replaced by `load` and `save`.
The old function names are still available, but will raise a `DeprecationWarning` and be removed in one of the next releases.
New features and functionality
The wrapper now explicitly stores the types of values of the dictionary in the hdf5 file and is able to retrieve the original value types. A list of supported value types is provided in the documentation.
This has the effect that old files created with release version 0.0.1 cannot be loaded with 1.0.1. To remedy this, we provide a conversion script that converts old files to the new format. The user can provide
- single file names,
- lists of file names
- files containing file names
- input from stdin.
