History
- 2026.8.10.1 – Bugfix: services create ignored a custom –root
seamm-installer services create always hardcoded the --root baked into a new service’s daemon to ~/SEAMM/~/SEAMM_DEV (based on development mode), silently ignoring an explicit --root passed on the command line. Found while deploying/testing webui against a scratch root on MolSSI10. Now uses the actual resolved --root value.
- 2026.8.10 – Install and daemonize seamm_webui
seamm-installer install seamm-webui creates a dedicated seamm-webui Conda environment (it shares little with the rest of the SEAMM stack) and installs seamm_webui from PyPI into it.
seamm-installer services create webui (alongside the existing dashboard/jobserver services) sets up and starts it as a persistent systemd/launchd daemon, with a new --webui-host option.
- 2026.7.26 – Bugfix: clearer errors when the Zenodo package list can’t be fetched
find_packages() now uses seamm_util.Zenodo.get_latest_public_record() instead of hand-rolled requests calls to the Zenodo API. This also fixes a latent bug: the old error handling referenced the HTTP response even when the request itself had failed before a response existed, which could raise a confusing NameError instead of reporting the real problem reaching Zenodo.
2026.2.26 – Internal: moving from pkg_resources to importlib.resources
- 2025.8.22: Bugfix: simplejson caused crash
If installed by one of the packages, simplejson caused the installer to crash because of an incompatibility between simplejson and the standard Python JSON package.
Improved feedback about progress when install and updating from the GUI.
2025.7.7: Bugfix: Ensure creation of ~/SEAMM directory
- 2025.6.21: Bugfix: error in path to Conda environments.
Fixed an error in the previous release that caused the code to get the incorrect path to the conda installation.
- 2025.6.6 – Better handling of Conda paths
Some conda installations use paths rather than names. This may be common at computer centers with a central installation of the base environment and individual user installations of other environments. This version supports such installations.
- 2025.4.30 – Bugfix: Issues in graphical install
Also added ‘conda list –explicit’ environment files for each environment.
- 2025.3.9 – Significant update
Working with the new packing lists, generated by installing SEAMM now that we cannot programatically search PyPi.
Added support for dependencies with pinned versions, which is becoming increasingly necessary.
Use conda env update with custom environment file which include any pinning needed. This appears to avoid the problems with updating encountered with the last version.
- 2024.4.22 – Moving user preferences to ~/.seamm.d
Moved seamm.ini from ~/SEAMM to ~/seamm.d since it only contains personal preferences.
- 2024.3.17 Enhancements
Install and update now use the latest version unless the package is pinned in the packing list.
Changes to support the plug-ion specific installs, which are now handling the specific <code>.ini files.
- 2024.3.11 Updating to work with new packing list.
Versions of packages are now stored as strings and compared using semver, since the older approach is being deprecated in Python.
2023.11.3 BugFix: Internal update due to changes for versioneer
2023.11.2 Bugfix: Fixed a crash casued by a minor change in the Zenodo API
2023.6.7 Bugfix: Ensuring the LaunchAgents directory exists on Mac
- 2023.4.2 Bugfix: Updating full conda environment breaks pinning.
So removed that capability.
2023.4.1.1 Bugfix: Problem with JobServer service
2023.4.1 Bugfix: get latest version from Zenodo
- 2023.3.31.1 Switching to Zenodo
Getting the package list from Zenodo
Added ability to pin packages.
- 2023.3.31
Added new plug-in: QCArchive
- 2023.3.23
Added new plug-ins: Gaussian, TorchANI and NWChem
Updated creating the JobServer service to handle changes in the JobServer
- 2022.10.25
Added QuickMin and ensured the Dashboard is included. Also hardened the code, handling more errors gracefully.
