This release makes reads more robust by fixing small API, file-based parsing and test bugs. Building the library in C++14 and using it in C++17 will not result in incompatible ABIs anymore. HDF5 1.10.1+ performance was improved significantly.
0.14.2
------ **Date:** 2021-08-17
Various Reader Fixes
This releases fixes regressions in reads, closing files properly, avoiding inefficient parsing and allowing more permissive casts in attribute reads. (Inofficial) support for HDF5 vlen string reads has been fixed.
0.14.1
------ **Date:** 2021-08-04
ADIOS2 Close Regressions & ADIOS1 Build
Fix a regression with file handling for ADIOS2 when using explicit close logic, especially with interleaved writes to multiple iterations. Also fix an issue with ADIOS1 builds that potentially picked up headers from older, installed openPMD-api versions.
0.14.0
------
ADIOS 2.7.0 is now the minimally supported version for ADIOS2 support. Catch2 2.13.4 is now the minimally supported version for tests. pybind11 2.6.2 is now the minimally supported version for Python support.
In ``RecordComponent::loadChunk``, the optional last argument ``targetUnitSI`` was removed as it has not been implemented yet and had thus no function.
0.13.4
------ **Date:** 2021-05-13
Fix AppleClang & DPC++ Build
Fix a missing include that fails builds with Apple's ``clang`` and Intel's ``dpcpp`` compilers.
0.13.3
------ **Date:** 2021-04-09
Fix Various Read Issues
This release fixes various bugs related to reading: a chunk fallback for constant components, skip missing patch records, a backend bug in each ADIOS2 & HDF5, and we made the Python ``load_chunk`` method more robust.
