Below we shortly describe the main changes to the psyplot versions below v1.0.0.

Added

• Changelog

Changed

• When creating new plots using the psyplot.project.Project.plot attribute, scp for the newly created subproject is only called when the corresponding Project is the current main project (gcp(True))
• The alternate_paths keyword in the psyplot.project.Project.save_project and psyplot.data.ArrayList.array_info methods has been changed to alternative_paths
• The psyplot.project.Cdo class does not accept any of the keywords returnDA, returnMaps or returnLine anymore. Instead it takes the plot_method keyword and several others.
• The psyplot.project.close method by default now removes the data from the current project and closes attached datasets

• The modules in the psyplot.plotter modules have been moved to separate packages to make the debugging and testing easier

  • The psyplot.plotter.simple, baseplotter and colors modules have been moved to the psy-simple package
  • The psyplot.plotter.maps and boxes modules have been moved to the psy-maps package
  • The psyplot.plotter.linreg module has been moved to the psy-reg package

• The endings of the yaml configuration files are now all .yml. Hence,

  • the configuration file name is now psyplotrc.yml instead of psyplotrc.yaml
  • the default logging configuration file name is now logging.yml instead of logging.yaml
• Under osx, the configuration directory is now also expected to be in $HOME/.config/psyplot (as it is for linux)
• A lot of bugs have been fixed and formatoptions improved. In general theses changes are not backwards compatible.
