Detailed changes:
============
Installation / portability:
---------------------------
- Bug fixes for installation on ITER and Gateway clusters 250
- Easier installation on Mac 183 (`requirements.txt`)
- Removed explicit compiler specification in `setup.py` for more flexibility
- When sub-packages imas2tofu or mag are missing, the warning is much more concise, but the error traceback is still accessible in a hidden dictionnary for developpers 243
- `python setup.py clean` now doesn't cythonize
- Dropped python 2 support: 228
- merged `_GG02` and `_GG03` into the `_GG` file
- no longer being tested in travis
- no longer packaged in conda
- updated README file accordingly
- dropped `funcsigs` dependency
- made necessary changes in `setup.py`
- `benchmarks/calc_signal_benchmark.py`: now working with python 3
Bug fixes:
-----------
- Major bug fix in `LOS_calc_signal()` for computing the synthetic signal of a LOS camera using a particular algortihm : method='sum', minimize='hybrid', ani=True, 247 255
- Major bug fix in `LOS_get_sample()` when `minimize='hybrid'` and `minimize='memory'` the limits were not set correctly
in some cases the formula for sampling a LOS was wrong (`los_get_sample_core_var_res`).
- Minor bug fixes in interactive figures when `t=None` was used (the interactivity was lost due to wrong formatting of the time array)
- Minor bug fixed in Plasma 2D interpolation (`interp_t` was not being set), imporved error messages 209
- Removed unused variable in `_Ves_get_sampleS` (_GG), in `_core.py` 190
- Gave more explicit names to some variables in `_core.py` to avoid bugs/typos (eg. `I` to `current`) 186
- Removed a secondary `init` function for the class `tf.geom.CoilsPF` 187
- `_checkformat_inputs_dgeom` now is a function of `Rays` class
- Change default separator in `to_dict()` from '_' to '.', 228
- Rays.calc_kInOut_IsoFlux() is now more flexible (accepts 3d np.arrays as well as lists of np.ndarrays), 188
- __repr__() is now overloaded in a more robust way so it falls back to printing the class if get_summary() fails to avoid crashing in debug mode 242
Documentation:
--------------
- Updated information about support of python version
- Added slides of talk given at PyConFR 2019 conference
- Added a `gallery` in our documentation with 3 different tutorials:
- 5 minutes tutorial to show to create a geometry and 1D/2D cameras
- Guide on how to create your own Geometry from scratch (vacuum vessel, structures, etc.)
- How to compute the signal received by a camera using a synthetic signal.
For all of these tutorials, you can see directly the codes and the
resulting images, and you can get the source code or download it as a
Jupyter notebook!
- Minor changes to the web doc: updated install instructions to be "cleaner"
now in rST and not HTML), small changes in the navigation bar.
- Guide on how to contribute to ToFu.
New features:
---------------
- First version of `magnetic field line tracing` (for WEST only so far, to be improved) 213 235
- First version of `2D XRay Bragg spectrometers` for synthetic diagnostics, modelling the diagnotics geometry and providing 2d spectral fitting routines (to be improved) 267
- When computing a signal `LOS_calc_signal` emissivity function can now return
a 1D array if `t=None` 217 252
- Three functions added to `tf.geom.Rays`: 211
- `calc_length_in_isoflux()`: compute the length inside a set of isoflux surfaces of each LOS
- `calc_min_geom_radius()`: compute the minimal geometrical radius (impact parameter) of each LOS
- `calc_min_rho_from_Plasma2D()`: compute the minimum normalized radius (or any field with a minimum on the axis) for each LOS
- New `ITER configuration` available! 220 227
- More explicit names for default configurations 264
