v0.10.0

Added

• Support for Python 3.9

Removed

• Parameter dataclass bases (Param and Struct) no longer set kw_only to True by
  default (since this feature does not exist in Python 3.9).

v0.9.1

Changed

• Custom ParamData subclasses have an improved error message if extra keyword arguments are passed.

v0.9.0

Added

• ParamDB.path to retrieve the database path.
• ParamDB.latest_commit to retrieve the latest commit entry.

v0.8.0

Changed

• Documentation website moved to Read the Docs.

Added

• Badges for latest PyPI version, license, CI status, Codecov, and docs website build.

v0.7.0

Changed

• ParamDB.commit() returns the ID of the newly created commit.
• ParamDB.load() converts datetime objects to local time regardless of the timezone
  stored internally in the database.

v0.6.0

Added

• ParamDB.dispose() function for cases where it is required to fully clean up the
  database before the program ends, such as in testing suites.

Changed

• Commits get the current time in a way that can be mocked in tests where we
  want to control the time.

v0.5.0

Changed

• datetime objects (currently used in CommitEntry.timestamp and
  ParamData.last_updated) are timezone-aware.
• If ParamDB load_classes parameter is False, datetime and Astropy Quantity
  objects are not loaded either.

v0.4.0

Added

• ParamDB load_classes parameter can be set to False to load parameter data classes as
  dictionaries (created to allow ParamView to access data)
• Keys for special properties in dictionary representations of parameter data can be
  imported
• ParamDict returns keys in __dir__() so that they are suggested by interactive prompts
  like IPython.

Changed

• ParamDict uses dict_keys, dict_values, and dict_items instead of default KeysView,
  ValuesView, and ItemsView since they print nicely

v0.3.0

Added

• Ability to specify start and end indices in ParamDB.commit_history()
• Support for scalar astropy.units.Quantity objects
• Parameter dataclass bases (Param and Struct) automatically convert subclasses into
  dataclasses kw_only as True by default

Changed

• ParamDict can be initialized from keyword arguments in addition to dictionaries

v0.2.0

Added

• Ability to specify commit ID in ParamDB.load()
• ParamData.parent and ParamData.root properties
• Mixins ParentType[PT] and RootType[PT] to type cast parent and root
• Parameter collection classes ParamList and ParamDict
• Database now ignores dataclass fields where init is False

Removed

• CommitNotFoundError (replaced with built-in IndexError)
• Private _last_updated dataclass field in parameter dataclasses
