What’s new in IOSACal¶
Release news for IOSACal.
Release 0.4 (released 2018-05-08)¶
The main highlight of this release are the new classes for summed probability distributions (SPD) and paleodemography, contributed by Mario Gutiérrez-Roig as part of his work for the PALEODEM project at IPHES.
On the technical side:
- requires NumPy 1.14, SciPy 1.1 and Matplotlib 2.2
- removed dependencies on obsolete functions
- improved the command line interface
Release 0.3 (released 2016-04-15)¶
- use
genfromtxt
to import calibration curves - improved documentation
- intervals as a well-defined type
- restore AD/BC dates in both text and graphic output
Release 0.2 (released 2014-02-14)¶
Main highlights:
- new function to combine multiple determinations (Ward & Wilson 1978)
- a simple and straightforward set of commands to get started
- amazing interactive mode with IPython Notebook
- plotting multiple dates in a stacked plot actually works
- added several older calibration curves (useful to check published data)
On the technical side:
- works with Python 3 only, dropped compatibility with Python 2
- requires NumPy 1.8 and Matplotlib 1.3
- calibration curves and calibrated ages are
ndarray
objects, super-easy to work with
Known issues:
- AD/BC dates in output are not available, all dates are given as CalBP
