python-ihm 2.8 release

• The new ihm.System.get_representative_model method returns a single ihm.model.ModelRepresentative that best represents the entire system (#174).
• Bugfix: spurious segments in the ihm_entity_poly_segment table are no longer created for ihm.restraint.ResidueFeature (#175).

Full Changelog: 2.7...2.8

python-ihm 2.7 release

• Representative models for ihm.model.ModelGroup can now be denoted using the ihm.model.ModelRepresentative class (#173).
• Bugfix: fix reference counts of Python bool objects.

Full Changelog: 2.6...2.7

python-ihm 2.6 release

• The new ihm.License and ihm.Disclaimer classes allow describing how the data in the file can be used, and map to the pdbx_data_usage mmCIF table (#171).
• Two ihm.Assembly classes are now considered equal if they contain the same set of constituents, even if those constituents are in differing orders or are split differently into domains (#170).
• The new ihm.format.ChangeFuncValueFilter class allows modifying mmCIF values by passing them through an arbitrary Python function.
• Checks for non-canonical atom names no longer use Ligand Expo to obtain CCD info, as it is being retired (#169).
• ihm.metadata.CIFParser and ihm.metadata.BinaryCIFParser now return the same entity_source mapping that ihm.metadata.PDBParser does (#168).

Full Changelog: 2.5...2.6

python-ihm 2.5 release

• Assemblies are now checked at file-output time to ensure that each asym referenced in an assembly is represented by atoms and/or spheres in at least one model (#165).
• make_mmcif has a new --check_atom_names option which, if set, will check for any non-canonical atom names (#166).
• pip install should no longer fail to install if the C extension module cannot be built; it will fall back to use the slower pure Python implementation.

Full Changelog: 2.4...2.5

python-ihm 2.4 release

• Add support for fits of model groups or ensembles to cross-links using the new ihm.restraint.CrossLinkGroupFit class.

Full Changelog: 2.3...2.4

python-ihm 2.3 release

• The C-accelerated BinaryCIF parser now supports interval quantization encoding and a wider range of data types.
• make_mmcif now has a new --histidines option to convert any non-standard histidine names to HIS (#164).
• Bugfix: don't change name or description of the complete assembly in make_mmcif.
• Bugfix: if ihm.reference.SeqDif is used to annotate an insertion or deletion, don't erroneously claim the alignment is incorrect.

Full Changelog: 2.2...2.3

python-ihm 2.2 release

• The C-accelerated BinaryCIF parser now supports a wider range of data types.

Full Changelog: 2.1...2.2

python-ihm 2.1 release

• Minor fixes to the C-accelerated BinaryCIF parser.

Full Changelog: 2.0...2.1

python-ihm 2.0 release

• python-ihm no longer supports Python 2; the oldest supported version is now Python 3.6 (#161).
• BinaryCIF files are now read in using a C-accelerated parser, which is faster and more memory efficient than the older Python parser (#160).
• The tokenizers for mmCIF and BinaryCIF now return data of the correct type (int, float, bool, or string); previously, all values were returned as strings. ihm.reader.Handler subclasses now request data of the correct type using Python type annotations. The API of the C-accelerated parsers has changed accordingly (#162).
• The new ihm.metadata.BinaryCIFParser class can extract metadata such as database IDs and template information from BinaryCIF files, in a similar fashion to the existing ihm.metadata.CIFParser.
• Information about a deposited structure, such as the deposition date, can now be read from System.database_status (#163).
• The new ihm.format.ReplaceCategoryFilter class can be used to completely replace or remove an mmCIF category when using ihm.format.CifTokenReader.

Full Changelog: 1.8...2.0

python-ihm 1.8 release

• Support added for datasets containing EPR, X-ray diffraction, footprinting or predicted contacts using the ihm.dataset.EPRDataset, ihm.dataset.XRayDiffractionDataset, ihm.dataset.HydroxylRadicalFootprintingDataset, ihm.dataset.DNAFootprintingDataset and ihm.dataset.PredictedContactsDataset classes (#157).
• Revision information (in the pdbx_audit_revision_* mmCIF tables) can now be read or written using the new ihm.Revision and ihm.RevisionDetails classes (#156).
• The new ihm.location.BMRbigLocation class allows for referencing datasets stored in the BMRbig database.
• All references to the old PDB-Dev database are now updated to PDB-IHM.
