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
