Change Log

Upcoming release

Goal for 0.2.7

• Add, by default, a variable DSC_DEBUG to output files that saves parameters used to generate the output.

• Enhance R() operator due to use of `dscrutils <https://github.com/stephenslab/dsc2/tree/master/dscrutils>`__ package. This packages is now required to parse DSC file when R modules are involved.

• #92 paired parameter input convention.

• #90 use Rmd files as module executables.

• Revert to rpy2 implementation for mixed language data communication, but will involve rpy2 only on need basis.

• SoS required version bumped to 0.9.12.8 for improved support to --touch option.

• [minor] Various bug fixes.

0.2.x

0.2.6.3

• Inline module executable via language interpreters (eg. R(), Python()).

0.2.6.2

• [minor] Ignore leading . in file(): file(.txt) and file(txt) are equivalent.

• [minor] Disallow derivation of modules from ensemble.

• [minor] Various bug fixes.

0.2.6.1

• Internally replace RDS format with HDF5 format for Python routines. Pipeline with mixed languages is now officially broken at this point until the next major release that supports ``HDF5`` in R.

• SoS required version bumped to 0.9.12.7 for relevant upstream bug fixes for remote host computing.

• [minor] Various bug fixes.
